Oil looks good, a light clear brown.
Will be fun to take out of package.
Package was stealthy, and sent quickly.
Can't wait to try, soon.

I do enjoy this oil. I don't think it's made from Butane the smell is different. Closer to C02 but less floral taste/smell.
-
Glad you enjoy it and we can definitely assure you all our oil is extracted with alcohol NOT butane.
-
Ahh, I wonder what it was made with being Rick Simpson oil. I know he doesn't recommend BHO. Then that oil was thick for alcohol, and very tasty.
No cracking at all. Very nice mellow buzz too.
This thread needs to move to rumor mill.

☺☺☺ REVIEW OF PHD1 AFGHAN HASH .5 (COMPETITION WINNER) ☺☺☺
☻ Communication: Professional and very personable, phd1 is a lovely vendor to communicate with and really goes the extra mile, SilkRoad needs more vendors like this 5/5
☻ Arrival: 5 days above average arrival time 5/5
☻ Stealth: Solid stealth, printed labels, vacuumed sealed, flawless 5/5
☻ Weight: .5 as promised 5/5
☻ Look: Black, shiny, typical afghan appearance, very sticky a little got stuck to the packaging, soft and malleable consistency very easy to roll with no need for a lighter, quality afghan characteristics.
☻ Smell: Spicy aroma, like burning cinnamon incense sticks, dark piney honey, with undertones of gingerbread, coffee, and musk, if you like a spicy smoke, you'll love this 5/5
☻ Taste: Spice is amplified on taste, fiery cinnamon and gingerbread became more pronounced, hitting the back of my throat in a good way, lingered in my mouth for a long time, a very rich smoke that filled my lungs to capacity. A great smoke, especially for this time of year as the flavours reminded me of christmas 5/5
☻ Effects: I don't use hash regularly, twice a month at the most. I describe the effects a strong, clear, potent high, both mentally and physically. A great night time smoke and pain reviler, I felt all my muscle pains melt away, a great appetite enhancer, relaxing, but didn't stone me completely, a very comforting balance, effects lasted me about an hour before I drifted off to a very pleasant sleep, pleasurable all round effects and good vibes 5/5
☻ Overall: I rate phd1's communication, stealth, and afghan as excellent a perfect5/5
☻ Recommended? 100% as far as my experience with afghan hash goes, phd1's afghan is up there with the best, if you like your afghan I highly recommend you try this, I'm sure you'll be happy with the high quality and service provided 5/5
A surprise half bud was included with the hash, a indica dominant strain is called snow white, a really lovely smooth smoke, I will be reviewing snow white next week along with phd1's rick simpson oil. Thank-you phd1 for your competition, keep up the great work, I'll be back :)
-
Sorry for being a dick and coming here so late but I've gone through some hardcore shit in the past few days. I still can't see properly btw.
The hash was amazing, I didn't expect it to be that good. I made a spliff out of the .5 and smoke it with one friend.
My friend kept saying that it smells like shit while I was making the spliff and after 2 minutes of smoking he kept saying that the hash smells so good. I was laughing like a retard.
Probably the best hash I had on the road so far!
Shipping time 5/5! only 3 days to UK.
Stealth? Unfortunately my gf opened the letter and she threw everything apart from the product itself so I'm not gonna be able to comment on the stealth but I'm sure that with this quality it couldn't be shit.
Will order soon!
Have a nice day.
-
I just recieved my 0.5 gram sample of afgan hash today but that is expected with customs to the USA and holiday delays. Shipping 5/5 : It arrived in 8 bussiness days which is pretty much on par with my other orders from outside of the USA. Packaging/Stealth 5/5 : It was vaccum sealed and professionally packaged nothing to complain about there. Product 5/5 : it was a little spicy but not too much in my opinion it was just right. The high was a great mixture of pain relief and relaxation but not so much that it knocked me out.
-
PrincessHIGH:
"I really enjoyed phd1's snow white, it's a very frosted light green bud covered in trichomes, it's a very smooth smoke that gives a strong body high, excellent for pain relief, stress, anxiety, or if you need to relax, it's a quality night time smoke. I received a sample of this and ordered more, I'll update next week with a review and pictures."

You have to F.E ? & you only get a 50% refund ? :o Dont think I,ll bother after reading about vendor weirdscience

Thats fine but dont accuse us. We have sent packages for a month already. I didnt see Weird Science sending anything. Do as you wish but don't slag us off without reason. I have noticed you giving hell and beyond to SR recently including DPR! Your comments are not welcome. You got scammed, you made a BIG mistake and now are ranting all over the forums about others. Pick on somebody else please.
P.S. The 50% refund was a mistake and has now been corrected.

Refund after FE?
Anyway you can't force to FE unless you have more than 45 transactions and 1 month. Especially when you do it an all listings and all buyers. I was looking for some weed but you demand FE and your listings are kinda bulky. There are a lot of bad stories here starting like this. Don't take this the wrong way.
Cheers
-
What I 'm trying to say is "everyone needs to FE for everything" is a bad policy. You seem legit and your feedback is excellent so far. But this policy does not make it look good. Transactions are risky for both ends, this is why escrow was invented. A FE under conditions (new buyers or bad stats) is probably a more fair choice. Good luck whatever you decide.
Cheers.

Wasnt accusing you of anything mate & as you know Im waiting on a sample from you , thanks for that ;) nobody is slagging you off ? I just pointed out your policy as I was about to order and noticed it
I will write a review for your sample as I said and for the record mate I didnt order anything from weirdscience I just pointed out he was a scammer & told the community on sr what I thought and not too order , I also mentioned that they should complain to dpr as I have seen this F.E Scam multiple times
I dont like your policy of F.E and 50% refund and just pointed it out to the rest of the community on sr
sorry if I caused any offence but I spoke only the truth

Oil sample from PHD1 was received; 4 days Holland to UK, very very impressed.
Packaging avg but protection for the item not great and was a bit squashed, apart from a little leakage i managed to scoop up the vast majority so not too fussed (I've seen this with most other venders though lately from my reading, everyone seems to be switching to vials and phd ensured he will be).
Oil itself is really beautiful, used the paper clip coil technique, taste reminded me of really good vaped ultra cured bud and its all I've been able to taste all day since initial hits; only took 3 hits to get me baked for a good 4/5/6 hours, very indica like and soothing great for a night out at the cinema and sleep. This is why i came on here though, to try things like oil which are near impossible to get in my area and I'm not disappointed at all. Great comms too and will be back for more :P Damn you WS if you had not of scammed me i'd of grabbed the nevs or purple kush asap, two of my fav strains.
Merry xmas all and thanks phd :)

Damn you WS if you had not of scammed me i'd of grabbed the nevs or purple kush asap, two of my fav strains.
Thats the very reason why I wont F.E and like I said its a shame this vendor chooses this option otherwise Id buy too ,but Ive seen so many people loosing money this way Im not gona bother
-
Here's a few pics of what I've received from phd1, 1g of snow white, very nice buds that have been cured with care, I'll add a review as soon as I've enjoyed it. Have a very happy Christmas phd1 :)

It has put me off of a lot of probably fine venders too after that experience, for anything bigger than a Que. It's a shame as I'd pay a little more to FE if need be but I'm not willing to risk it so soon after the WS experience; not a dealer so for me i have to wait till next pay as i don't recoup it.
Snow White looks really nice princess nice bud shots too :)
Merry Xmas all

I dont understand the need to F.E on 3.5gs its such a small listing ? hes only been a vendor a month :o and feedbacks mostly F.E
think Ill wait to see before I order :) dont wanna take a chance on loosing any btc
Shoulnt/Dont need to F.E anyway
-
Listings look interesting, BUT I'll never FE again, for no vendor. I have very good buyer stats, so why should I FE for 3.5 of Weed to ship within EU? Never-ever. Sorry but this looks very strange to me, we will see how it turns out.
-
so ordered 1 g of C and FE.....i hope the best we will see how it plays out.......
-
Received 3.5g of Snow White last Saturday but been busy with christmas and all that. PrincessHIGH photos look the same and mine was overweight by 0.10g. Nice smoke and had me melting into the couch both of last nights. Perfect evening time smoke for my liking. Thanks phd1. Ill be back soon for some other buds.

No its not. I delete posts after about a week for privacy, hence why I have +2 karma but ye can see your point. Listen or not, just posting my review about what I received. If I was full of shit surely Id be saying I received an oz or 1lb or something but ye whatever.... Merry Crimbo!
-
Any other buyers received ?
Its a lot of trust or money to place on a vendor with very little Info , Amazing discounts and requiring F.E . ??? ...Sounds too good to be true
I just hope you all get your goods :-\

debating on ordering...

I have gone back in for 1 oz. Will update when received. I have confidence for now but I dont deny that could change quickly. Same as any vendor.

Too many FE's with a new account and not many orders received. This smells like a SCAM. New peeps, ALWAYS STAY IN ESCROW. Most of US had to learn the hard way. His #4 heroin picture is a Cropped picture from google.
In another thread (there are a couple now discussing this vendor and his most likely scam) he has been taking FE's when he wasn't supposed to (vendor rules to protect buyers) and people starting FEing around 13 days ago with these people still not receiving their orders. Overseas can take a while, but most receive within about 8 days from NL.
Did he give you tracking numbers for FEing?

96 finalized transactions.
79 pieces of feedback.
The 78th oldest piece of feedback: 5 of 5 FE as requested 13 days
This tells us that phd1 forced people to FE even when it goes against the rules. Yay! How do we know that? Well, clearly he never hit the "35 transactions" requirement before requiring that person to FE. Worse yet, his oldest piece of feedback is 19 days old. FE also isn't allowed with under 1 month of actual vending(length of account-ownership doesn't matter, I believe)...
Mind you, I can only see what is displayed on his page... but it does look like he has broken the rules.
He also breaks the rules, so.. y'know, that's cool too?
-
I also FE'd >:( first time after nearly 300 Transactions.......Hope He is not a scam......normally 4 days to my location from NL......wait and see.....i am still hoping not to learn it
the hard way braking my Golden Rule : Never FE :(

Its a 100% Scam , No doubt about it ....

Its a 100% Scam , No doubt about it ....

Classic scam , send out a few samples ... get everybody to believe you and ask F.E ... seen it too many times on sr & how much does it cost to send a few samples ...pennies
-
Scam .. now saying shipments didnt go out till Friday , Anybody got their tracking details yet
-
AND BAM
This user has no active listings
Sooo.. what happened? :D
-
dam wish some folk had read this on the 19th when I called it .........Shame for the 106 who F.Ed :o could have been worse tho
and watch out for more of the same scams 8)
-
AND BAM
This user has no active listings
Sooo.. what happened? :D
Well, the phd1 forum account is either deleted by himself or by the staff. Since the listings aren't active but the vending-account isn't suspended, however...
I'm calling it as a scam, clearly. The fucker is running while he's still ahead.
-
Phd1's vendors account has now gone into stealth mode.
-
Any updates on this sucker ?
even at 15 btc each this guy walks away with over 10k ... :o 500 bucks for a new sellers account is nothing
Dont F.E & watch for more of the same scams

Well, it appears the only other non sample receiver on this thread apart from myself is GrowHelp who's now a guest.

Nice smoke and had me melting into the couch both of last nights. Perfect evening time smoke for my liking. Thanks phd1. Ill be back soon for some other buds.
I rolled a couple of joints from the 1g snow white I received from phd1 last night, it was a little overweight (1.2) phd1 did this out of goodwill as he sent it late. Compared to the sample I received it's nowhere near as good but satisfactory for the bitcoins I spent, a lot of thc got stuck to the vac pack, which I think was caused by his compression method but I'm unsure, it certainly didn't get me as high as I wanted to be, it was cured nicely though. I stayed in escrow as this was before his fe requirement came into play. His vendors account remains in stealth but his vendor's page doesn't specify when he last logged in. Sadly, I think he's done a bounce with the bitcoins. Moral of the story, never fe with a new vendor and if something is too good to be true it is, escrow is your friend, stay safe everyone.
-
I just offered him to buy by ukash befor i did noticed he is scaming.
So what do u think the ammount was about 515€.
Did he scammed so much that he gives shit about 500 tokens ?
this dude is a kind of whired
-
egar, +1 for calling it.
PhD listings are down on SR, and BMR. This appears to be the classic FE scam. Again people don't care it isn't them, well it could be.
He was in, and out in what 30 days? Maybe 2 months at most. Just enough to pull it off.
I ordered from this vendor, stayed in escrow, got my sample. I could have fallen for the bait.
In that time I found plenty of new vendors who don't ever require FE on buyers with good history. You are not a scammer, and shouldn't be treated as such. Don't the vendors realize how hard it is to achieve those stats?
When will you people boycott FE, and the vendors who request it?
You got vendors crying they need FE cause of money problems, that should tell the story right there, but no the ignorant buyers keep FEing. Check out Norcal420hookup's whining instead of doing business. (search Norcal420hookup) Also vendors like to hold your BTC when you don't FE, fuck them. Support will take care of that.
Here's another vendor on SR being a fool on BMR, you all trust this asshole. -> http://fec33nz6mhzd54zj.onion/viewtopic.php?pid=12743#p12743
Thats humboltdfinest speaking there, how would you like to be on the end of that? Can't just give the money back.
Trusted vendors, ya right. If they were trustworthy they wouldn't do that to you.
How many times must you be warned? Over the long run FE is not worth it, I promise. There are plenty of good vendors who don't require it.
There is a system in place called ESCROW. You pay extra for it, it in the price of the goods you buy, use it!
Jesus, people, come on!
I'm starting to believe you deserve what you get. Need a bone to calm down 8)
A fool, and his money are soon parted :-*

I like your logic uniwiz +1

Reported this F....to SR....we will see what happens....after so many scams this year Sr has to state an example sometime......
-
Asked Mr.PHD1 politely to give me prove of sending the order....no answer...asked to cancel it and give me my money back no answer.
My own fault to first time fE....thats no doubt....but sometime SR has to step in after so many scams this last year.....freeze his btc/account whatever

too many scams but they can only happen if you F.E ... Again dont ever F.E

you are absolutely right mate....first time in 300 transactions......stupid.......but sometime SR has to step in and try to prevent such stuff.......and bann him,freeze his btc whatever.....fuck him >:(
-
if something seems to good to be true and all that, no european vendors are going to do an oz of high grade for 15 btc, just not happening.
-
please report if someone gets a delivery of phd1
....and i donnot care about fucking negative karma stupid mf
-
This is typical of humans blame everyone but yourself.
SR Support can do nothing. Why can't you get that through your head? I don't mean to be rude, but you were warned many times not to release early.
Now if you follow the system, you message a complaint, give the facts, and wait. I've had vendors shut down within 24 days, others may have taken longer.
I have been threaten by a scammer who repeatedly starts new vendor accounts.
If you don't follow the system of escrow, no one can do anything but sympathize with you. Please don't think I'm so above it that I haven't fallen into the trap. I have.
More times then not I follow my instincts. Like was stated, if it's too good to be true, it is, wait.
Vendors cart blanche asking for FE is a problem. That is for sure.
As a compromise I found this post on a vendors home page. I think I agree with it. Sounds fair to me.
"We've had to change a few things:
We have been giving noobs a chance to get started with us from day 1, but too many have not bothered to read our page & follow our advice, so we will be canceling orders if less than 4 months, & under $250 in transactions, & over 5% refund rate. We need to know that more than 1 or 2 packages might reach you . . . So if you have continually received packages, ours will reach you too! Too many noobs thought that they could reinvent the wheel & outsmart the postal system, so a few, messes it up for many!"
-
you are absolutely right......but i am angry....so i let my steam off;)
thats human right mate?
-
and i am not a noob my friend..one time stupid >:(
-
please report if someone gets a delivery of phd1
....and i donnot care about fucking negative karma stupid mf
Here is a +1 to you, to make up for it ;) Negative Karma sucks, but if you have an opinion you will get whacked.
PhD is gone. He left the building two days ago. Closed both shops up. Sr, and BMR. Sorry for your losses.
-
and i am not a noob my friend..one time stupid >:(
I'm cool with that, we all make mistakes. I can't cast the first stone my friend. Calm down, I know it pisses ya off. Nothing personal against anyone but myself for failing into these traps. I should know better. I'm just trying to beat the buyers over the head. They are their own worst enemies.
I hear you, lesson learned mate.

thanks mate 8)

knew this was coming.

@ Uniwiz
really dude, Stats go both ways. You say you earned your stats and as such want special treatment. Fuck that. I treat all buyers equally, regardless of "stats". One the other hand I will admit the F.E. is something that can be abused, as such there should be stricter rules FE. for example a vendor should have at least 100+ transaction and been a vendor for at least 3 months (possibly even 6 months) before being allowed to ask for FE from their customers. I didn't make the rules about FE, that would be DPR. If you spent half the time trying to get DPR to change to rules on FE, as you did slandering me you would have probably succeeded by now.
Buyers should never FE for a new vendor, or a vendor who hasn't been here at least 3 months. Even then you still might get scammed.

Sorry you see it as slander, because I harbor no ill will against you. You slander yourself really. If anything I feel bad about the whole thing. I wouldn't do business with you now :(
You refuse to see the truth beyond your own self interest, I understand. Why post in a sacmmers thread?
I don't need DPR to change anything he already set great rules into place. The first thing vendors did was to start OEE, this was out of escrow. SR received no funds so DPR changed the rules, and then enforced that policy. So the vendors started FE. SR still gets paid, vendor gets paid, buyer is screwed. You forget what made this place great, escrow. You could order drugs, a 3rd party held the money. IRL you learn never give them the money with out getting the drugs. It's not Amazon friends.
Because you started a business without enough money, you want me to take the risk? I'm still missing how it works both ways? ;)
I really love this place because as far as bodily harm, there is little risk. Everything else seems to be fair game. Boycott vendors who require FE.
The fact is you put us the buyers at great risk, period. Change your ways. Business will pick up. I promise.
-
the stats go both ways means that I earned my stats as a vendor just as you earned yours as a buyer, and should be treated as such not lumped in with other vendors who have scammed. Also there are many reasons why i do business the way i do, not just btc being tied up in escrow. it takes time to turn that btc back into cash to use to buy more product, but you don't seem to care about us vendors and what it takes to keep product flowing. It seems to me that you want it your way, and that everyone else should have to do it the way one want it done.
now then let me paint a picture for you:
let's say the rules are changed and FE is banned on SR. Then I and most other vendors would stop selling large amounts on SR, and instead sell small amounts on road and sell large amounts off road. Then SR gets no % of the deal, and buyers are completely at risk.
Is that really the future you want?
-
the stats go both ways means that I earned my stats as a vendor just as you earned yours as a buyer, and should be treated as such not lumped in with other vendors who have scammed.
Tony76 earned his stats too. Then he pulled an FE-scam. FE is used to scam by vendors big and small, it doesn't matter what you've earned. And that really should be the last word on it. It doesn't matter how long you've been selling on SR, if you ask buyer to FE then you are doing what Tony76, phd1, and plenty of others have done. You may end up delivering the product, but in the time between, it looks just as much like a scam as what they've done. Also there are many reasons why i do business the way i do, not just btc being tied up in escrow. it takes time to turn that btc back into cash to use to buy more product, but you don't seem to care about us vendors and what it takes to keep product flowing. It seems to me that you want it your way, and that everyone else should have to do it the way one want it done.
now then let me paint a picture for you:
let's say the rules are changed and FE is banned on SR. Then I and most other vendors would stop selling large amounts on SR, and instead sell small amounts on road and sell large amounts off road. Then SR gets no % of the deal, and buyers are completely at risk.
Is that really the future you want?
So, in other words, if you don't get what you want you'll go somewhere else? ... That's not the future, that is you taking your ball and going home because you don't want to play with the other kids, since it means taking a small risk.
Edit: On top of that, by being one of the vendors who insists on FE you make it seem normal and thus normalize the behavior and action, which contributes to the impact of the FE-scams. In other words, by demanding FE for amounts of an ounce of more, you are part of the problem and make it easier for people like Tony76 or phd1 to pull their scams.
NorCal420HookUp, you are making the scams easier to pull and you are helping them earn more money. Change your policy. If you don't, you are part of the problem. And if you are part of the problem, as far as I'm concerned, you are no different from the scammers.

plus 1 ...too many scammers on here for me

"I will not be moved", scammers will always find a way to scam. Ending FE will not stop people from getting scammed. Until SR can come up with better terms for sellers that will remove the need for FE, I say again "i will not be moved"
The cash advance feature would go a long way toward that but i'm not paying 5% - 10% to use it. I think the main problem is that a small group of buyers think that the risk for small orders is the same for large orders, and that vendor assume the same amount of risk for large orders vs. small orders. most vendors assume little to no liability for bulk orders. meaning that if your order a QP and it gets intercepted by LEO, your going to get little if any money back.
I say again lobbying SR & DPR to change the rules will get more done than attacking specific vendors (who have done nothing wrong ).

So you are saying that not only do you demand FE on orders of a QP, but that even if you didn't the buyer would get little if any money back?
That inspires so little confidence in you or your service.

"So you are saying that not only do you demand FE on orders of a QP, but that even if you didn't the buyer would get little if any money back?"
I said no such thing, i said "Most vendors assume little to no liability for bulk orders. meaning that if your order a QP and it gets intercepted by LEO, your going to get little if any money back."
Meaning that FE or no FE most vendors will not issue anywhere near a full refund or offer a free reship for bulk amounts. Most vendors will tell you outright the buyer assumes the majority of the risk for bulk amounts. Try asking your current vendor about their refund policy for bulk amounts, and see if you like the results.

If that is true, and clearly you think it is, then why demand FE on bulk? All that does it take what little protection the buyer had left away from them.
Oh, and this is a better point; If a bulk-package gets seized, it is the vendor's fault. Why is it the vendor's fault? Because the vendor's security was not enough for the package to arrive.
So really, what I'm seeing is that you think that FE is okay for bulk, that shitty shipping-security doesn't make you a bad vendor, and that you shouldn't be the one who loses out if your packaging is the reason a customer doesn't get their purchase.
So in every way, you are the one who should get paid?

it's automatically the vendors fault it a package gets intercepted? it's never the buyer's fault? The buyer can get his/her address red flagged in many ways. The buyer can run his/her mouth to their friends bringing heat on an address, etc. the ways a buyer can fuck it up are many, and the only way a vendor can fuck up (according to you) is shitty packaging. Also since you have no 1st hand experience you can't speak to the quality of my methods. My feedback speaks for itself.

Yes, actually. A suspicious package doesn't get subjected to a search warrant, it gets subjected to a Sniffer-dog. If it doesn't get past the sniffer, then it gets opened. An address being red-flagged is only enough for packages to get additional screening. If your packaging isn't good enough to get past a sniffer, then it is your fault when a package gets seized.
I don't know your methods, you are right about that. Are your methods good enough? Can a QP in your packaging get past a sniffer, even when selected for extra screening? I honestly don't know. But if it can't, that isn't the buyer's fault. Domestic mail can not be searched without a warrant, no matter how many times the address has been flagged. Probable cause is required to get a warrant. A sniffer-dog not reacting to a package means there is no probable cause.
Or if my legal knowledge on this topic is wrong, someone please correct me.

Don't be stupid to gain your point. It's what got you into this. It's a 50% risk to both parties, and I have posts from vendors who don't even like that.
You guys basically want it all your way without using any common sense. To hell with the guide lines. Your feedback speaks for itself, well my stats speak for mine. By your logic I shouldn't discriminate against you and use your feedback?
