Title: Moist "Oily" Buds
Post by: tit4tat007 on June 08, 2012, 04:08 pm
Hi ,

So I recently ordered an oz from a seller who will remain nameless for now ;), came in within 5 days but is VERY wet. When I break it up there is a oily residue on my fingers. It has a sweet pine/peach smell and was very browned, almost as if it was treated with something. I was wondering if anyone knows something like this that may have been used on the buds? Thanks in advance. My friends think it was sprayed with something (also the bud is much darker then it appears in the pictures)

That's probably the resin in the trichome heads that were damaged in transit.
It's actually quite common in a lot of strains.

that seems very fishy. i have been smoking weed every day for 10 years and i have never heard or seen of anything like that.
"moist" bud will be spongy, not damp. and certainly shouldn't smell like anything but, well, bud. Someone has tampered with that bud. smoke with caution.
that being said, i have never received weed in the mail.

I have received many strains.
Never seen this, I have to agree with this assessment.
That being sad, cheap hash oil, Jamaican oil may be dark green brown..
PM the vendor, and ask whats up?

you're thinking the vendor may have adulterated the weed with weed/hash oil?
that would be interesting...

Sounds like the vendor dried the weed to the touch and mailed it. All buds will sweat a bit during drying. If you leave it out on the does it dry out after a day?

That kind of weed is costly.
Did you smoke it?
Sounds like it's crap to me.
I have to taste, and smell it. :P

I dried it out for a bit, in 2 hours lost a gram and it is still moist but a little drier now. Gets me a really nice high though, I like it, but was VERY costly. Paid $460 for an ounce of it. After this little bit of drying though it no longer leaves the residue on my fingers. Oh well, I pm'd the vendor, he claims the buds are NOT too moist and they have been cured for 2 months in a jar. Personally I think it is some sort of flavoring or something he puts on the weed cause the weed taste really nice and is very smooth. I thought it was similar to "Tasty Puff", which also tends to turn buds brown. However after a day the taste is usually gone, this weed still holds the flavour and its been a day. Oh well =/, guess I'll never know. If any one wants to know the vendor to try it and see there own opinion feel free to PM. The vendor usually deals only with premo, and maybe I am just being skeptical because I had to fork over $460 when street prices are $200 around here =P

AT $460 the cannabis should have been perfect.
You lost 2 grams leaving it open? It was wet.

Please write an honest review in the cannabis review FAQ. ;)
1. I would never pay $460 for OZ when the BEST stuff on earth is about $360 retail.
2. Check out our references in that FAQ.
3. Please tell us so we can never buy from this vendor again.
4. A vendor apology is in order.
5. No apology, any more complaints gets you on the ban list, vendor.

Sounds like TT selling some weird strain ;)

Now saying all this.
I had a vendor problem with my bag. Lots of shake.
Wrote a honest review, they PMed me to fix it.
Most vendors are cool. Thats good service.

So don't give up, and read the forums.
