UK batch of adulterated 'crusty' commercial weed :(

I've been reading around about this new batch of adulterated weed and am more than curious to know what I am smoking. As a few of you know I had my stock plant stolen and am reluctantly buying off the street, unfortunately all I can turn up is this weed with a hard crusted layer (or soft and stickyish if its just been sprayed and the weed is fresh).

Any UK smoker who bought of the street last year will more than likely have come across or at least heard about 'grit' weed- tiny glass-like particles had been sprayed on the plants or buds and it did, to an untrained eye or in a bag, look like loose trichs.... yummy... not. There was a government warning about this shit and it turned out to be the reflective element from road paint sprayed finely. Turns out this could be similar stuff- sprayed differently.

With this new stuff they arent even making any effort. It looks wrong straight away and feels hard to the touch. The stuff is almost impossible to get off (i should know ive just been trying) and has a yellowy or greenish light tinge to it. And the plot gets thicker. Some of my older contacts who grew and sold on a small scale have apparently been muscled out of selling and it almost seems like other sources are being stifled so we all have to buy this crap.
I am totally fed up- from the 3.5 grams i purchased I have made under a gram- waaay under a gram, smokable. Even that will be contaminated.

This is a time, more than ever, to grow your own weed. I will put up some shots when I have a camera- if its not in the bin! Any info on it appreciated but as I refuse to smoke this Im gonna need some advice on the fastest possible flower I can do too...

are they spraying it on pot to make it look like better pot or are they spraying it on something that really isnt pot at all??

this is not a new issue, people have been getting screwed over for a long long time, another lesson to grow your own no matter what the risk!

Its purely a weight issue this time as this just looks crusty as hell. Funny how my dealers bags are suddenly opaque and i cant see what im buying. Also I'd love to get right to the top of this and find the guy who's idea it was- gimmie the gun and I'll happily shoot the fucker in the legs- but it's nationwide and its all anyone round here has to smoke :( People are paying £20-£25 for this for 3.5gs (over $50) and as many of them are not fussy growers like me, they are probably just grinding it all up to smoke... disgusting...
I would actually pay double price for even half decent weed right now.. anything with no crust! (help me out someone.. j/k)

Moving to canada sounds like a damn good solution .. (actually considers catching a plane for a smoke) But any advice on fast flowering strains also welcome here- whats ppls quickest turn over? Going without a smoke is not an option so im gonna do the shortest plants ever.. I have a nice 400w Hps just sitting about, its time to use it :)

aware this is not a new problem, but trust me, this is on a scary scale i've never seen in the UK in 14 years of smoking...

Doc Chronic's is an awesome site, good choice.. Ill go check it out and have a drool :)

im interested in lowryder.. or at least lowryder 2, but some have warned me away from autoflowerers in general. I think now theyve crossed it it must be a bit more smokable. Atm it sadly is a case of whatever is fastest.
saddest thing is it's easier to get crack and smack than decent weed these days.... sad times...

I am sorry you have to deal with that $hit. I started growing so I wouldn't have to buy any more throat scorching commercial crap from my area. I grow very small scale, just enough for me and maybe an ounce or two extra for a couple friends. I wont go back to buying...period.

Same here; "you get what you get", sometimes it's ok, sometimes is slightly better, sometimes slightly worse but never any really good stuff. THAT is why I'm growing my own - and to possibly recover my cost of equipment/supplies/growing.

if you're looking for something short, fast, and hard-hitting, drchronic has seeds from lowlife that are autoflower crosses. like auto-flower ak-47. sounds very promising.
