I agree. It's just disgusting TEARING (not breaking) up the weed. And the color isn't satisfying and neither is the taste.

[DzzyJoe]

I have only once seen Schwag in a club, The guy tried to tell me it was bomb, but in actuality it was some Mex Brick Weed, if that was bomb then I would hate to see the shit weed.

After booking your room, just mail a package to the hotel.

Call them and let them know it's coming and to have it waiting for you when you check in.

I'd have to be pretty confident in my packing job to be mailing bud anywhere. I hope this hotel is somewhere in California, otherwise that'd be a pretty big risk (felony anyone)?

i was thinking the same. i would have to be pretty discrete plus when i go on vacation it is usually out of the country so i wouldnt think it would definitely make its way there. but if i really need bud i usually tape it to my gooch

I was just sitting here thinking about schwag. Why the hell would I do that you say??? well #1 I might be slightly over medicated, and #2 I was just remembering this Schwag as we call it that I once brought on a vacation. I didn't bring it on purpose. I didn't even know it was schwag until I was hundreds of miles away from home and the neck of the dude who sold it to me.:mad:. I couldn't believe what I was experiencing. it smelled great looked awesome but wouldn't get ya high no matter how much you smoked. I called it "Pretendica" this was about 13 years ago. The reason why I was mentioning it now is because I was involved in a discussion not so long ago where the topic was Pretendica or schwag and the correlation between it and super rare Phenos that are REALLY HIGH IN CBDs but REALLY LOW in THC. which is the opposite of 99.9999 percent of marijuana. Which would explain looking, smelling, and tasting great but giving you no buzz. The group agreed that this is most likely the case and discussed how valuable those particular plants would be if you could discover it before it was dry and you were smoking it!!!!! Or especially before it flowered so it could be cloned for research!

Were we all just high??? what do you guys think?????:D


When I say "Valuable" I mean for medical research!

If the plant was really high in cbd and really low in thc you would still get a buzz from it. it would just be different. I think the problem with these "pretendicas" as you say, you know the ones that look good, smell good, but dont do shit, is that they may have been let go way too long. eventually all the heads on the trichomes will degrade to a point where they have no potency, but what ever terpins that decide what the flavor will be must still remain... i dont really know. i have seen this stuff myself, and i wondered how the hell someone managed to grow that shit.

some are just plants that were grown too long as you say and some are true pretendicas and are high in CBDs and low in THC by the nature of that one Pheno type.

Down here in Texas, we get soooo much shwag cause of the Mexicans. We get it for like $2 a gram though! It's really easy to come by. That's like all we have in Texas!

Even here in England I have experienced this, got the most wonderfully bud the other day (luckily I sold most of it before I smoked it :p) but it was supposedly Cheese X Diesel and for England believe me that is some major dank...the smell was verrrry similar to diesel and the taste was CLASSIC cheese wow it was nice, bud were perfectly formed and after about six spliffs hoping this was some kinda wierd creeper nothing happened...

wierd stuff :(

My cousin does it all the time professionally vacuum packaging and similar method make this very possible to do...maybe even conceal it iniside a feasible object to avoid any suspicion, but what I would like to know is WHAT IF?

WHAT IF the hotel openend the package and they find it?
WHAT IF they contacted the police to arrest you as you arrived and picked it up?

Obviously coming from England I do get more paranoid due to the illegal nature of cannabis and therefore I do have certain procedures and routines I have prepared for the evenutality of the long groping arm of the law.

Can they even track where the package has come from? I guess you could say someone else sent you it but I would love to know how to get out of this if you got caught :p

[jcblaze]

I guess those are the risks, but as I'm reading this post, I'm thinking:

1) you could send the package anonymously, from a false name/address or using one of those private mailing services, e.g. "Mailboxes Etc." as opposed to the federal post office

2) you could research and find a similar mailing/pick up service in the city you are visiting, and instead of sending it to the hotel, you could have it delivered to the Mailboxes Etc. or similar store

3) +1 on the vacuum sealing. I have a friend who sells and only uses vacuum sealing. He has to travel on a public transporation system that always has cops on it, he sells dank, and he uses the vacuum sealing to protect himself as well as the supply. you can't smell the weed thru the vacuum sealed bag.

I've had something similar happen to me, bought some dank that I was told was called Purple Power Plant. Smelled Wonderful and the Trichomes were clearly visible. Got my friends super high after 2 hits out of the gravity bong each, I took probably 15 hits out the gravity and was straight as a arrow. Thought it was the weirdest thing.

"Resin itself, or an abundance of resin glands, is not a good indictator of potency. An mj variety may have copious amounts of resin and still be nearly worthless for smoking; another variety may have little apparent resin, but it may be super-potent. This is because much of the resin is made up of inactive ingredients, and the resin might contain mostly inactive cannaboids. Also, the active cannaboids (THC,THCV, etc.) are only necessary in amounts small enough that they may not be major components in the resin. Surprisingly, the few scientific studies that have compared the concentration of resin glands or resin to potency have found that the concentration of resin glands was negatively correlated with the potency (in other words, the fact that a variety of mj is resinous or has a lot of resin glands has little to do with its potency) Experience connoissers actually may look for a non-resinous but very potent variety - who needs cough inducing resin if it doesn't add to the high?"
~An Excerpt from Marijuana Grower's Insider's Guide

A strain that looks like straight fire but just won't get you high? Even though it's possible I just find it hard to picture it :D. What medicinal value are you talking about? I'm thinking pain and stress relief, increased appetite, reduced nausea, positive moodlift, etc.. are all side effects of being high, yes? You can only get high from thc and active cannabinoids, so I'm guessing the "Pretendica" will have little to no medicinal value what so ever. Or maybe I'm getting this wrong, what do you think?

* lmfao @ pretendica

[Bigsampson]

Check out CBD's and learn about the marijuana that heals the sick more then gets the stoners high.

Ahh if you want some schwag come on down to washington.

[H1JACK3R]

I have always heard Washington has good bud, is this incorrect?

[TenderNugz56]

Oh dont get me wrong i get good bud here at a good price to. But i know where i could find some schwagy schwag also.

[Ripgut]

I never seen stress at a dispensary yet, if I ever do, I'll see if the budtender tries to push that shit if I inquire about it, LMFAO. I use to smoke a gang of stress from like 1990-1995ish. I use to get it wholesale from South Central LA in Watts from Southsiders. I shit you not, $20.00 a half ounce, $35.00 or $40.00 for an ounce and $200.00-$250.00 a pound. Sometimes it was good, like light green bud, light green stems, few seeds, but they would be plump, not all cracked, etc..

Here in VA the lower lever dealers sell what they call "mids" it's really just well cured schwag. not to sound cocky or spoiled, but if approached with this garbage the conversation goes like this:

Dealer: Yo, i got some good shit
Me: How much?
Dealer: for you... like 45 a q
Me: If it costs less than 100 a q on the streets... I'm not smoking it. have a nice day

Not trying sound cocky or spoiled but mids is like 25 a quarter or less around here. Last time I bought a quarter of weed it was 95 bucks for OG. I guess you aint smoking it. But yeah I don't really buy weed because (sorry if I sound spoiled or cocky) but I only smoke hash.

Damn we dont have prices like that out here. A quarter of quality bud is 120+. Mids are all over the place though, probably because my town is more than half mexican

$95 for OG? Very nice.
And if only smoking quality buds and oils makes me sound cocky or spoiled than so be it.

[dirtnap]

I just got a quarter of master kush for $75, and that's pretty high for around here. That's co op price, private is cheaper, as low as $150/oz for bomb.

[Bigsampson]

It aint cocky when your telling the truth. I mean I have not paid for weed in 10 years and smoke wax when I am at home 90% of the time and never run out. I smoke at least 20 strains every month. I post prices that reflect what we sell it for. As for prices we pay from pro growers who have 30+ years experience in most cases that is roughly $2500 to $3000 for a pound. Cheaper if it is after November and harvest for outdoors but that goes for $2k - $2500 a pound. The best part about working and running a collective is the endless supply of popcorn nugs to make big batches of wax and oils with MMmm. If you are mad I suggest you save up your cash flow and put down the down payment on a home and step your game up.

^where in GA man, I know someone in GA who gets fi-yah bud

You can get good but its not cheap 25-75 20-60. Schwag is like 100 an o. Like 120 and shit for quarters of good.

Where at in GA? I'm just north of Atlanta and the dank is plentiful!
AK47 on the left, purple trainwreck on the right. GA grown.
Just gotta talk to more people with similar smoking interests and you're bound to find some solid connects.
