The shit over there is always on point, you pay for the grade, not the weight. They just have their heads screwed on, they don't do it for profit. They do it for the love of weed.
So Snoop and Dre LIED to me about the sticky icky?
The difference between good stuff in the USA and the stuff here is just how long they leave it before harvesting?
I'm really intrigued cause I hate the idea there's great sh*t I'm missing out on due to technique.
Well I'm not overly sure, although usually the sticky part of weed is down to it being damp and not dry.. which is a sign of not fully cured (dampness)
Maybe someone can prove me wrong, I don't know?

Cheese = 1.3g £10 / 2.8g £20
Anything else = 1.5g £10 / 3.5g £20
Mates tho. Id pay quality over quantity any day.

RE: Properly dried and cured weed.
A properly cured bud is one that has been picked at the right time (brown trichomes), dried upside down in a well ventilated dark room until it's spongey to the touch and the stalks snap easily, but not so dry that it turns to dust. Trim off excess leaves. Stick it in an airtight container for a few weeks, even a few months, making sure to open the lid once every day to let in fresh air. Resist temptation. And voila, some beautifully cured weed!
Brings out all the flavour. Apparently, depending on how long you cure it for, it even affects the high - got something to do with the THC breaking down into the other cannabinoids such as CBD.
And the reason a lot of the weed went shite in the UK for the last few years(especially Cardiff and Swansea) was because Vietnamese gangs were handling it. Damn dodgy bastards, with their wet, sprayed, damp smelling shit. Big story a couple of years ago about a guy who got kicked to death and dumped outside a hospital by one of these gangs (he was vietnamese too) for nicking a massive bag of smoke.
So yeah, I know far too much about Ganja...
Oh, and yeah, when I was in San Fran the smoke was absolutely beautiful. So +1 for moving to California!
-------------
EDIT: Has anyone ever has Ganja oil? I've only ever got my hands on it once, and... well... it was truly truly cum worthy. Was well expensive though, although I'm sure that's down to the dangers involved in making the stuff. (Basically making a pipe bomb filled with green

)

You can still get sticky weed when it's been cured, some strains are just oily as fuck.
Are they not referring to Hash though?

I've never touched weed that isn't sticky. When you're picking it apart and such it should be sticking to your fingers. If it doesn't it's usually old, dried ass shit. It shouldn't just fall apart. I'm not sure WHY it's sticky but I know that "the stickier it is the higher it gets me" has seemed to be true for everything I've touched...along with hairs, smell, fluffiness and color.
Might be something to do with the trichomes? Which is why when you pick apart weed you get green, sticky fingers.

yeah weed is so exy and average in the uk.
used to get good quality outdoor in tasmania for 70 a 1/4 or 100 (aud) 1/2, dunno what he charged for an oz but it would be comparable to the prices above. bit more for stronger indoor strains
thats like 50 quid a half oz.
iv been getting online weed sent from usa its a bit more exy but quality is proper and weights are real, only annoyance is the lag time btween ordering and getting.

Yeah theres an abundance of soaking wet wong tong weed kicking about up these parts. I stay well off it myself, its not about paying 20 quid for a bag of wet leaves. I've got a good source that gets good grade stuff all the time but its a bit of a mission to get to him. Worth it really though, i'd rather pay a tenner extra in petrol to get a bag of dope i actually enjoy smoking.

I miss living in B.C, could easily get 3.5 for $25 Canadian, so about £13 and that was usually amazing bud.

i'd rather buy good grade at the right weight from a seasoned smoker than a 14 year old who doesn't even smoke the shit, trying to make £3.50 on each £10 bag he sells.
big up the oldies selling weed to the younguns

Glasgow, 20 for an eighth but most of the scummy drive and meet you dealers about here short you by at least half a gram.
Know a guy who sells to mates about a 10 minute bus journey from my area, good quality stuff always the same, pretty strong too. Doesn't always have things in and the tnuc smokes so much he'll try bump you so he gets more to himself.
As for hash, standard soapbar and sticky black.

These are online vendors. They typically operate strictly through e-mail (to maintain a low profile) and you usually have to be referred to them. You can usually get research chemicals from them as well. I've got one that I can get some 2C compounds from, medical bud from dispensaries as well as the occasional mephedrone, 4-aco-dmt and what have you.
