Im very suprised there's been nothing about this on this forum, in fact it speaks volumes.
People there's some very serious contamination thats been going on for over a year at least. Check out www.ukcia.org/forums and check out the general category. Loadsa info there.
People you gotta get clued up about this its got serious health effects. You recently had some skunk that gave you a particularly tight chest, a sore throat and painful cough and irritated lungs.
The contaminants include: crushed glass, sand, metal filings, oil/grease, sugar, Brix.
This is all down to the huge crackdown in cannabis factories that has been going on for a couple of years now. It all started with some dutch importers but it spread like wildfire so now any mass grower can be doing it.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR WEED. DONT ACCEPT ANYTHING DODGY

There has been quite a lot of whats known as grit weed around these parts.
The glass is tiny balls ap arently ...used in reflective spray paint.
It adds weight.
This is what comes of what the government like to call a controlled substance which in reality istotaly uncontrolled.
The government prefer the seven billion pounds a year we spend in the uk on weed to go to gangsters and terrorists ...and screw the health of the people.
not really helpful advice now is it. For a number of reasons, but mainly because I want a draw now and not in two months. Plus realistically how many of can actually grow our own weed. Its ridiculous. What we need to actually do is get the info out about what is really going on
There has actually been quite a lot about this on this forum.
And no, its not to do with a crackdown, although if there has been one it will make no odds what so ever. Prohibition doesnt work and wont work. There isnt enough police to actually enforce the law properly. This is pure and simply about profit.
As for growing your own cannabis - thats a purely personal choice and certainly not one I would advocate. But it is said to be very easy and morally it is better to avoid putting money in gansters hands.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime etc etc
Have you not heard of forward planning?
And I have grown my own weed with usually excellent results. Which is why the government hates weed, 'cos it can be grown almost anywhere and so thus can't be taxed.
Simple solution, grow your own.
More a case of the drug companies not liking it.
Imagine having a plant on your kitchen windowsill that you pluck a few leaves off when you have a headache ...a migraine ...depression ...want to halt the glucoma ...have period pains ...loss of appetite due to aids chemo etc. ...heres that list again ....

How you messed ...anything i can help you with?
Getting over things with someone else usualy makes it a bit easier.
Paranoid? What you using at the mo ...regular?
I'm off to bed shortly ...you can always pm.
PM'D You again ...as i said ...if theres anything i can do to help ...i will.
And even aside from that, to precribe something you need a tighting controlled defined product, which isnt something you can do easily with cannabis.
And, cannabis does come with side effects, and just being twisted all the time isnt exactly the greatest idea.
yes i know mate ...trouble with cannabis as medicine is that it is notoriously difficult to dose and most medical users don't take enough to actualy get high.
If you can just feel it starting to affect your mind ...thats usualy the max dose for your pain control or whatever.
The trouble drug companies are having breaking it up into it's many active parts is that medical users who try the things usualy report sickness and other side effects that aren't there with the whole product.
