High up at industrial levels man, mostly shitty areas get the shitty weed. But sometimes someone tries to push it everywhere, never gets to far though in my experience

Most of the adulterated weed i've come across in the UK is from import.

A year or so ago when the situation with adulterated weed was really bad, as soon as I would hear there was some import available the first question I asked was 'is it ok? has it been fucked with?'.

I'm not saying they dont adulterate uk grown commercial weed too but the majority of dodgy herb available here is import from holland.

...and this is based on what?......The dealer said so?.

Exactly, isn't it something like 80% of all weed sold in the UK is grown here now.

[Gnarleydudeman]

Dutch import is very easy to recognise in the uk. The buds always have that distinct 'import' smell, the texture is always the same and it's always very dry. It varies greatly to either what we call uk grown 'commercial', (which is softer, more leafy, fresher and darker looking but still fairly shit) or any high quality named strain available from a local grower network. It's always only the Dutch import that used to be sometimes contaminated.

These are basically the 3 types of weed regularly available in my area, not countin the rare bit of Thai from time to time.

I wish I could just walk into a shop and buy it, my endless search for reliable sources of quality smoke would be over!

So, I'll ask that question again then...this is based on what, the dealer said so?. Or do you personally know the standard of weed imported into the whole of the UK from Holland. Cos as far as I can remember, the UK is a reasonably big place and weed strains come in a 'few' different varieties...but it all has an 'import' smell and the same look?. It's always the same?. Whether it's been sprayed or not, this tells me that the person you get yer weed from is a twat. It also begs the question, do they buy it by the kilo?. Because if it's sprayed here then they're paying that added price and that just makes no sense at all, unless it's from their own grow rooms here, in which case...they're deffinately a twat and I suggest you go elsewhere.

I'm not saying weed doesn't get sprayed here, but to say most of the sprayed crap the UK gets is from Holland just sounds like a load of bollocks to me. I've seen export weed here and while it isn't the best grade by far, it still comes in various types. Plus, to state that there's lots of it getting sold here suggests some people are seriously going to the wrong places.

The word of any dealer that's remotely connected to sprayed weed can be taken for what it's worth....fuk all.

This is a big problem, to think that we are paying good money for shit, and its fucking people up. The dealers that sell this shit know what there selling, they are shithouse arseholes of the highest order.

I have never bought this stuff in the dam only the uk, thanx 4 all the advice, am gona by myself a microscope and start handing out my own justice the "CHARLE BRONSON" way, "name and shame" the fuckers that sell u shit, and DONT by it, no matter how desperate u are!

Most the contaminated weed in the Uk was grown here by the vietnamese, imported weed is hardly sold anymore, grow shops are popping up all over the place because people are realising it's easy to grow your own and sell any surplus to pay for costs.

[Gnarleydudeman]

I dont obviously know anything about the rest of the uk, I can only speak for my observations of the weed in my area. I know what is import and what is not, I am no longer involved with receiving imported weed however the form in which imported weed used to be received a few years ago was vacuum packed kilo bags in individual cardboard boxes. Sometimes there was even a label printed with a randomly selected name (eg white shark) for uk marketing purposes.

There is plenty of import still around in the uk, whilst the majority is grown here in the UK, plenty is still being sent over.
I took some quick pics of my stash, currently 3 different bits, one of which is clean, unadulterated import.

Import:



Big Budda Cheese:



Some unknown nice strain:



Whilst it is hard to see from my crappy photos, the import has a certain look, smell, texture, taste & buzz which seems to be very similar in almost all batches I have seen. I am not looking to hold Holland responsible for all imported contaminated weed as it is likely a good bit comes from Belgium too (or so i've been told). It definately is adulterated before it gets to the UK as it comes out of the freshly imported boxes contaminated. It is true that the majority of UK weed is grown in the UK by vietnamese gangs who also contaminate the product, all im saying is a year or so ago when there was a really high rate of contamination in commercially available bud it was in my experience mostly from imported weed.

Thankfully the market has recovered here now, it is sad to see examples of adulterated weed have emerged in coffeeshops too, I thought this was just a result of prohibition here. Years ago dutch imported weed was the best product you could find and was great quality, before grow systems became more mainstream here.

I agree anyone buying, smoking or dealing with any adulterated weed is a twat for sure, I dont get involved. As far as I am aware this problem is all but over, I have thankfully not seen or heard of any dodgy weed for a while now.

What happens if you smoke the sugar spray stuff, is it harmful in any particular way?

[Sir Niall of Essex-sire]

Import bud is EXTREMELY rare in the uk, the UK exports weed thats how much is grown here. If you look about, import solid is also harder to find these days. Because as Boner said, the majority of criminal gangs have realised they can make their money back using grow rooms, without having the worry of importing and all the rip offs that can happen.

Sprayed bud isnt just import, thats a lie. I have seen spray bud that is still damp, now if that was imported and packaged as such it would be mouldy as fuck. The only way it could happen is it was grown here. Dont believe your dealer, he talks shit.

keep it simple.....grow yer own....then if any contamination is all your own fault......i know some can't...then get a few friends etc and do it that way...where'there is a will there's a way....not mass production....just enough good clean bud to get by for those involved.....saves a lot o money/time and hassle.........and you don't have to deal with people you don't really like at times....taking the risk is the thing but aint we already by toking(national/state laws allowing) no grit and will save a fortune and possibly a lung too
