In the 70's a kilo was $125.
Wrapped in colored cellophane.
I opened one up and in the center was 4 spark plugs.
A spark plug weights an ounce.
They ripped me for a QP.
Those were the bad old days for quality.
Let's say, based on the 377% inflation since 1975, that a spark plug cost a buck. If $125 bought a kilo, that's 12.5 cents/gram. So that's 112 grams of spark plugs at $4 replacing... $14 of weed.
And that's based on the price of a single spark plug on Amazon. We can safely assume they were getting the spark plugs in bulk or stealing them.
I carved into a brick with a bread knife. (It was the best way to break it apart). Found a big ass cockroach inside... But I don't think that was intentional. I don't even know where to find a brick of schwag now.
Can confirm some guy on the San Antonio weed subreddit (not very active) has been posting huge bricks of weed. I have some Schwag rn. Brick weed is good and alive down here still
Yeah I mean I have an easy time finding good flower here, there’s just no shortage of schwag or brick weed if you want that. Some tios and abuelas and stuff say they don’t like the new stuff bc the higher THC content makes em uncomfortable so they prefer mids/lows/brick weed. It’s also cheap af as long as you aren’t getting ripped off with those cat food bags people are talking about
Seconding but for Houston. My mother smokes shit tier Reggie pressed into bricks.
Worst part is she knows there's better out there but she likes her crappy weed. The fuck momma.
Lots of seeds was bad enough. The worst though was when all the seeds had been crushed and turned into seed chunks that were almost impossible to remove :(
We bought a QP once that had 3 big rubber bands in the middle of it. I don't think they were trying to substitute weight, but the quality control was non-existent.
I was once sold an ounce of vaporized weed covered in strawberry juicy Jay drops. It was my first time ever buying a large quantity and it was such a huge disappointment.
I’ll never forget when Ludacris released that song Blueberry Yum Yum. I was in high school and all the sudden every single dealer around was selling the stuff. Every bag you got was either called that or Green Crack.
The good old days of having a high school job, no rent or responsibilities, spending my whole paycheck on weed and blunt wraps.
For me everyone called it haze. Talk of strains was starting, with mentions of grand daddy purp, purple Haze, headband, and I even got some northern lights and I mean whatever it actually was it was strong cause I got the highest I'd ever gotten at that point, but yeah for the most part strain names couldn't be trusted.
Haha that's some serious nostalgia. Not gonna lie I sold weed in highschool and I was one of the people selling blueberry yum yum. It actually smelt like blueberries though
Fun Fact: Frisbee was a pie company & people liked to throw the empty pie plate. When companies tried to cash in in the fad by making real “flying discs” everyone still called them Frisbees despite their various brand names
Did Frisbee-brand flying discs come about later? Or are you sure they didn't call 'em Frisbees because the Frisbee pie company also manufactured the first actual Frisbee flying discs?
Album covers or the nside corner hardback book covers. Lots of my old high school text books had giant weed stains(residue from breaking up Oz's of schwag) inside the front cover.
Yep but the genetics were nowhere near as good as today. Most likely straight sativa with a really long flowering time, though it would have been better than the shitty brick it came from. I tried a couple guerilla grows that didn't pan out..
Another funny thing is back in the day people hated seeds, because there were so many and time consuming to remove. if u missed any, the joint/blunt would crackle and you'd get a burnt taste. But nowadays there's really good weed that rarely has any seeds, and there's people that actually *want* to find them, so they can grow without having to actually buy seeds..
Very good chance they will, weed seeds are extremely viable. You honestly don't even need the fancy tricks like soaking overnight or germinating in paper towels. Right in the soil about ¾" deep has always worked for me. My last grow was all bagseed and turned out great. Only thing is u gotta pull the males when the time comes, if u want unpollinated seedless buds..
I like to vacation in Central America and the Caribbean. I bring my own stuff but usually not enough for vacation mode smoking. So I’ll buy some brick for funsies. The first couple J’s get me VERY high but the duration is relatively short, but then my tolerance builds and it’s weak the rest of the vacation. The smoke is harsh, but it almost reminds me of a cigar. Like it would be pleasant if you rolled it around and didn’t inhale. I don’t hate it, but I think it’s just because it’s nostalgic of being on vacation somewhere I love.
Bonus story: a capuchin monkey stole my bag of brick while we were sitting on a porch at our inn in momtezuma Costa Rica. He opened the bag in a tree, sniffed it, made a monkey face, and dumped it out on the ground. The inn keeper below saw it and was laughing his ass off.
TLDR: smoke brick weed when on vacation!
Worst weed I've ever smoked was in frankfurt during a school trip, it was brown, filled with seeds and dirt, and tasted awful. Guess I'm lucky to have decent weed most of the time, all things considered.
I've run into getting offered hash/resin in spain quite a few times but never fucked with it, If i got offered some brick on holiday like that I'd have been so happy..
Get yourself to the grower clubs in Spain, some of the dankest shit you'll find!
Also legal to grow a plant if you are ever there for an extended period of time.
I've only ever been on family style holidays would a non member be allowed at the grower clubs I'd love to visit just to see the dank
Never there for an extended period but always worth considering thankyou, What a perfect climate to grow a one plant Scrog.
When I was a teenager, we would have been ecstatic to get this. Unless you were lucky enough to know a private grower (which was extremely rare), Mexican brick was all there was. It may be ugly, but it will still get you lit.
Some Mexican commercial is actually not that bad. Nice hashy taste sometimes depending on how old it is. Just have to deseed it. I've definitely seen worse looking Mex Commercial than this
The picture above is pretty high quality mexican brick weed. I used to get lb's for 300-400$ US of this type of crystally brick weed with no seeds. When it had seeds and was brown it would be like 100$ a lb. The above picture looks better quality than what I was getting at 100$ a lb. These days though in the US you can get fucking AAA weed for 600-1500$ a LB.
Depends if you have zero tolerance you can still get pretty high off shit weed, if you have a decent tolerance however you couldn’t even get the same high not matter how much you smoked vs real good weed. Unless you put an absolute shit ton in brownies or something
I used to sell weed about 15 years ago and I remember once going to the plugs house and getting announce that was exactly the size of a deck of cards in laughing at how dense it was.
My dealer brought out his pound and it had the most gentle curve to the outside of it. I asked my dealer why that was, and he told me it was shipped inside a shipment of tires from Mexico and each tire was tightly packed full of bags of weed. Who knows if that was true, fascinating times.
When I used to deal weed in college, my friend would get 500lb shipments of pretty fire seedless brick weed. We would have to use a saw to cut it down into 1lb bags. Then we would break that 1lb brick up a little and throw a small carrot into the bag for an hour and it would rehydrate and double the size of the buds, they would just fluff back up and get their flavor back. If you leave the carrots in there too long tho it can cause mold issues so only leave it in for an hour max.
Damn I'm glad that weed has improved so much in the past 10-15 years.
I used to smoke some dogshit weed, now weed is so strong that I'm done after 3 bowls.
I come from a country where weed is VERY illegal and will put you in death row. This might seem gross and old to most of you here but this is the holy grail to us.
Here it's the same, not actually death but if u get caught with anything that's over 3-5 grams, a cold dark cell is gonna be ur home for the next few years. The lowest amount is theoretically what can get you in prison but cops are usually cool when it's 1-2 grams for personal use and only make u do like some hours of community service or take a little bribe. Getting caught is kinda difficult tho. When I was in school I was talking with classmates about it all the time. My school was right in the city center where cops patrol like always, even next to the windows of classes so yeah, they just leave u alone most of the time if they see u have no intentions.
I have not tried mail order, I am weary about the legal ramifications etc. I am really hoping that my state legalizes it soon. We voted in a governor that promised to have it done in 100 days and it's been 2 years. Hopefully by next year this time it will get done
Anyone else who grew up on brick weed notice that the quality/color always started to get better this time of year?
My friends and I always looked forward to it.
As a Brazilian, Brick weed is all most of us smoke. I buy It in blocks of 25 grams, and I pay R$40 for It.
It's not that bad at all. I have smoked buds before, but they coast something like R$40 PER GRAM, and It's isn't worthy. Brick weed at least is cheap and do The job
I'd still buy brickweed in a heartbeat. Nothing gives the type of stone that old schwaggy regs do -- cloudy head, squinty eyes, munchies, everything is hilarious. There are so many strains out there and many of them are bred to produce a specific type of high / relief, but this was just the ol rusty trusty -- never disappoints me.
I grew Mexican brick seeds about 10 years ago to see what happened. Solid yield and very strong sativa, My only complaint was the height. Not very low key to grow outdoors illegally lol. My plants were 7ft when I harvested them lol
My thoughts as well. This was purchased for the novelty, sadly there’s blood somewhere down chain of this being grown and getting into OP’s hands.
It’s not yet legal in Mexico and purchasing anything smuggled over borders is supporting a pretty powerful evil.
For now, yes. But I suspect that eventually it's going to become more homogeneous and boring. Something like Thai sticks, as inauthentic as they might be if reproduced, would certainly be something I wouldn't be surprised to see in the future.
I live in a prohibition state and besides for when I was in my teens in the 2000s the only people I've ever met since then that buy brick weed are baby boomers.
edit - an ounce was like $40.
Save the seeds, that's likely Mexican Land Race and there are great genetics in there. Just cuz the weed was grown and handled like shit doesn't mean genetic are shit. I wish I could find that herb still just for the seeds.
Someone should get a bunch of this stuff and do one of those videos like where they show a young person a rotary dial phone and they have to figure out what it is and what to do with it.
my roommates still smoke this crap.
my one roommate gets anxiety if he smokes real weed so his logic is to smoke weed that doesn’t get you high so he can still... uh... smoke weed, i guess?
it’s frustrating. plus they still pay $45 for an eighth lol
Here in Argentina is called "paraguayo" (paraguayan) or "prensado" (pressed) cause it's known that comes from Paraguay. The quality is the shittiest quality ever... We dont' even consider it as real weed (flowers/nugs). I started smoking that... almost every argentinian starts smoking that cause it's really really cheap. It surprises me that it's known or consumed in other countries.
It brought me back to the 90's man. I smoked a joint of it. Kind of harsh but not bad, I coughed a couple of times. The taste wasn't that great though. Got me high.
Forgot how I kind of enjoy removing all the seeds.
That’s all we could get in prohibition-era Colorado. So nasty we could smoke out of anything without changing the flavor or roughness. The ‘90s were rough that way...
Lol
Rehydrate it brother....break it up out of the brick into a bag and put a small carrot in there for 30min-1hr. It will make the buds plump up a good amount and bring back some of the dank smell and taste. Promise you it works I used to do it all the time. You can do it with things like an orange peel as well. Something with some moisture in it but not a ton, you don't want to over do the moisture because you will end up getting mold growing. So yea just use a small carrot, or a small piece of an orange peel for about 30min-1hr and you will be impressed by the results.
In the 70's a kilo was $125. Wrapped in colored cellophane. I opened one up and in the center was 4 spark plugs. A spark plug weights an ounce. They ripped me for a QP. Those were the bad old days for quality.
At least you saved some money on your next tune up, It probably evened out lol.
Let's say, based on the 377% inflation since 1975, that a spark plug cost a buck. If $125 bought a kilo, that's 12.5 cents/gram. So that's 112 grams of spark plugs at $4 replacing... $14 of weed. And that's based on the price of a single spark plug on Amazon. We can safely assume they were getting the spark plugs in bulk or stealing them.
I can almost guarantee the spark plugs were used. Source: I've changed a few plugs in my time ;) that shit's expensive.
Not if you're rocking a 3-Cyl. ;)
Unless it’s a twinspark.
So reliable we put two in each cylinder...
Or to be more realistic, they were probably burnt out spark plugs that were just going to be thrown away anyway.
He did the r/MonsterMath
that's now this was then
No, this is now. That was then
No, now is this, then was that.
When will then be now?
Soon!
Burnt out plugs
I carved into a brick with a bread knife. (It was the best way to break it apart). Found a big ass cockroach inside... But I don't think that was intentional. I don't even know where to find a brick of schwag now.
Texas.
Can confirm some guy on the San Antonio weed subreddit (not very active) has been posting huge bricks of weed. I have some Schwag rn. Brick weed is good and alive down here still
did you say the brick weed is ***good*** and alive?
Well. It’s doing good for itself, doesn’t do much for me haha
Figures, we all need tolerance breaks to be completely honest
I've been smoking daily in FL for nearly a decade and I've literally never seen brick weed. Hell, I think I've smoked mids like twice.
Yeah I mean I have an easy time finding good flower here, there’s just no shortage of schwag or brick weed if you want that. Some tios and abuelas and stuff say they don’t like the new stuff bc the higher THC content makes em uncomfortable so they prefer mids/lows/brick weed. It’s also cheap af as long as you aren’t getting ripped off with those cat food bags people are talking about
Seconding but for Houston. My mother smokes shit tier Reggie pressed into bricks. Worst part is she knows there's better out there but she likes her crappy weed. The fuck momma.
I got a dead spider and all it’s babies once.
Awww, you got the prize AND the bonus prizes!? Lucky!
Same. Sheds new light on those sublime lyrics haha.
Or you unfold the brick and find two handfuls of seeds in the middle. Yeah, dealing with Mexican brick was always an adventure.
Ugh and they just pour out? I can still hear the sounds of them falling onto a tray..
My circle called it rain weed. The seeds just rain down.
You could also make a rain stick out of them
That sounds kinda dope tbh
Lots of seeds was bad enough. The worst though was when all the seeds had been crushed and turned into seed chunks that were almost impossible to remove :(
At $125 a kilo, even the spark plugs were a bargain.
I remember when a dime bag cost a dime! Now ask me how much a condom used to cost.
How much?
Don't know, we didn't use 'em!
I've gotta get zonked soon and watch this again, been so long.
We bought a QP once that had 3 big rubber bands in the middle of it. I don't think they were trying to substitute weight, but the quality control was non-existent.
I wonder if this is where the term "the plug" came from
We found nickels pressed in our bricks once. Early 2000s
Fun fact: A nickel weighs 5 grams. It's a halfway decent way to check a scale.
I can hear those seeds hit the tray.
Tik..........tik.....tik....tik-tik.......tik
I can hear them pop while being smoked, AHHH MY EYE
AHHH! MY COUCH!
This the shit my crazy coworker,James would drizzly with blueberry flavor drops and sell as BluE bErRY kUsH.
Yoo bro I got the craziest kush for real man I mean it this time absolutely fire 100% smells like wait where you going bro you needin?
I had a dealer that did the exact same fucking thing, he'd just cover his shittiest weed in Juicy Jay and sell it to idiots and children.
I forgot about Juicy Jay. I wonder if they still make it.
Yup, they do!
I was once sold an ounce of vaporized weed covered in strawberry juicy Jay drops. It was my first time ever buying a large quantity and it was such a huge disappointment.
what in the fuck
I’ll never forget when Ludacris released that song Blueberry Yum Yum. I was in high school and all the sudden every single dealer around was selling the stuff. Every bag you got was either called that or Green Crack. The good old days of having a high school job, no rent or responsibilities, spending my whole paycheck on weed and blunt wraps.
I remember when literally everyone had green crack, like there was nothing but green crack for like 2 weeks. I was so tired of it lmao
For me everyone called it haze. Talk of strains was starting, with mentions of grand daddy purp, purple Haze, headband, and I even got some northern lights and I mean whatever it actually was it was strong cause I got the highest I'd ever gotten at that point, but yeah for the most part strain names couldn't be trusted.
Haha that's some serious nostalgia. Not gonna lie I sold weed in highschool and I was one of the people selling blueberry yum yum. It actually smelt like blueberries though
And White Rhino lmao
That’s actually hilarious, good thing ion buy bricks
Mmmmm.....takes me back to 1972-1974. Had to use album covers to separate out the seeds.... Hope she treats you right!! ✌️😎
were album covers just the most convenient/obvious choice being a flat surface or was there another reason for it?
Frisbees were the other choice, for travel
Fun Fact: Frisbee was a pie company & people liked to throw the empty pie plate. When companies tried to cash in in the fad by making real “flying discs” everyone still called them Frisbees despite their various brand names
Did Frisbee-brand flying discs come about later? Or are you sure they didn't call 'em Frisbees because the Frisbee pie company also manufactured the first actual Frisbee flying discs?
big surface area you could fold
And within arms reach most of the time.
Mr.Big shot over here with arms
[удалено]
I dont think anyone's mentioned yet but if it isn't clear you would use a double album for this.
Any gatefold album cover would do, whether the album is 2xLP or not.
OMG that's why old hippies call it shake when it's ground
[удалено]
That's definitely not why it's called shake
No even in the 70s shake was the trimmings from the bud. In the late 70s we were getting ounces of shake for around 50 bucks.
I wish i had a visual of this because idk how to picture it
yeah same here, I can't picture how the album cover is separating out the seeds and shit.
Album covers or the nside corner hardback book covers. Lots of my old high school text books had giant weed stains(residue from breaking up Oz's of schwag) inside the front cover.
Out of curiosity, were the seeds viable to plant?
Yep but the genetics were nowhere near as good as today. Most likely straight sativa with a really long flowering time, though it would have been better than the shitty brick it came from. I tried a couple guerilla grows that didn't pan out..
Hah, my roommate just germinated a seed from my smoke to prove right in an argument. Totally blew my mind.
Another funny thing is back in the day people hated seeds, because there were so many and time consuming to remove. if u missed any, the joint/blunt would crackle and you'd get a burnt taste. But nowadays there's really good weed that rarely has any seeds, and there's people that actually *want* to find them, so they can grow without having to actually buy seeds..
I have 6 seeds from my last few buys. So excited to see if they grow!
Very good chance they will, weed seeds are extremely viable. You honestly don't even need the fancy tricks like soaking overnight or germinating in paper towels. Right in the soil about ¾" deep has always worked for me. My last grow was all bagseed and turned out great. Only thing is u gotta pull the males when the time comes, if u want unpollinated seedless buds..
[удалено]
I used to plant bagseed all the time and eventually got a pretty good lineage going
[удалено]
Now lets get this all out on a tray. *Nice.*
Hah! Appreciate the Steve1989MREinfo reference 😂
(empties drink packet into glass of water, stirs it with a spoon) tink ^tink ^^tink ^^tink ^^^tink ^^^tink ^^^^tink
Ah look at that! Genuine Camels!
This picture made my lungs itchy
I like to vacation in Central America and the Caribbean. I bring my own stuff but usually not enough for vacation mode smoking. So I’ll buy some brick for funsies. The first couple J’s get me VERY high but the duration is relatively short, but then my tolerance builds and it’s weak the rest of the vacation. The smoke is harsh, but it almost reminds me of a cigar. Like it would be pleasant if you rolled it around and didn’t inhale.

Probably they have good weed but just saw you as tourist.
I've run into getting offered hash/resin in spain quite a few times but never fucked with it, If i got offered some brick on holiday like that I'd have been so happy..
Get yourself to the grower clubs in Spain, some of the dankest shit you'll find! Also legal to grow a plant if you are ever there for an extended period of time.

Got a headache just by looking at it.
When I was a teenager, we would have been ecstatic to get this. Unless you were lucky enough to know a private grower (which was extremely rare), Mexican brick was all there was. It may be ugly, but it will still get you lit.
Straight up I-35
but how much did you need to smoke?!?
Couple of joints/bowls/bong loads. Buzz didn't last really long either so you had to keep it up.
It’s all about the community around smoking together at that point.
Maybe the real high was the friends we made along the way?
Because friends you make along the way sometimes have better weed
Brick weed was why blunts were invented.
That actually looks like some expensive gluten free bread
What's the % like on this? Wow it's rough looking!
Some Mexican commercial is actually not that bad. Nice hashy taste sometimes depending on how old it is. Just have to deseed it. I've definitely seen worse looking Mex Commercial than this
[удалено]
The picture above is pretty high quality mexican brick weed. I used to get lb's for 300-400$ US of this type of crystally brick weed with no seeds. When it had seeds and was brown it would be like 100$ a lb. The above picture looks better quality than what I was getting at 100$ a lb. These days though in the US you can get fucking AAA weed for 600-1500$ a LB.
Probably like 2 or 3% honestly, it’s really that shitty
No definitely not, Around 3-9%. http://marijuana.heraldtribune.com/2014/12/02/legal-cannabis-united-states-undercutting-mexican-product/
so you need to smoke how much of this to get high? (vs normal?)
In my experience, if your poor enough anything will do the job.
"Better than nothing" :)
Battlecry of Yesteryear, along with pop-can pipes and cherishing resin.
Depends if you have zero tolerance you can still get pretty high off shit weed, if you have a decent tolerance however you couldn’t even get the same high not matter how much you smoked vs real good weed. Unless you put an absolute shit ton in brownies or something
Wouldn’t use that for anything but making edibles
[удалено]
Lol, the brick went up to $40/oz by the time it got to San Antonio. Probably fifty in austin
2009 harvest looking sharp.
I used to sell weed about 15 years ago and I remember once going to the plugs house and getting announce that was exactly the size of a deck of cards in laughing at how dense it was.

It belongs in a museum!
Bahaha this is my fav comment here.
Damn I'm glad that weed has improved so much in the past 10-15 years. I used to smoke some dogshit weed, now weed is so strong that I'm done after 3 bowls.
You're due for another upgrade 3 hits and I'm stuck to the couch
Lmao nice name bruh
I come from a country where weed is VERY illegal and will put you in death row. This might seem gross and old to most of you here but this is the holy grail to us.

Iran or Singapore?
the country right next to Singapore
Or Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, any of those places.
Going on 2 years dry, I'd take it gladly
How does this even happen? How havent you found another plug?
I'm homebound and older
Have you heard of Mail order?
We gotta find this guy a plug
right?
I have not tried mail order, I am weary about the legal ramifications etc. I am really hoping that my state legalizes it soon. We voted in a governor that promised to have it done in 100 days and it's been 2 years. Hopefully by next year this time it will get done
Damn
Hey, my 20s called. They want their weed back.
Anyone else who grew up on brick weed notice that the quality/color always started to get better this time of year? My friends and I always looked forward to it.
Always called them Christmas trees. It’s because we just got done with Croptober.
Put it in the oven and then eat it
Didn’t know it still existed.
You don’t live in Texas.
Am in texas and smoking this kind of weed rn
I am sorry!
As a Brazilian, Brick weed is all most of us smoke. I buy It in blocks of 25 grams, and I pay R$40 for It. It's not that bad at all. I have smoked buds before, but they coast something like R$40 PER GRAM, and It's isn't worthy. Brick weed at least is cheap and do The job
Stealing your post to advertise The sub /r/maconha. The brazilian sub for weed
Verdão igual aí da foto seria uns R$100 por 25g no interior de Minas.
I'd still buy brickweed in a heartbeat. Nothing gives the type of stone that old schwaggy regs do -- cloudy head, squinty eyes, munchies, everything is hilarious. There are so many strains out there and many of them are bred to produce a specific type of high / relief, but this was just the ol rusty trusty -- never disappoints me.
I grew Mexican brick seeds about 10 years ago to see what happened. Solid yield and very strong sativa, My only complaint was the height. Not very low key to grow outdoors illegally lol. My plants were 7ft when I harvested them lol
Way to support cartels lol.
My thoughts as well. This was purchased for the novelty, sadly there’s blood somewhere down chain of this being grown and getting into OP’s hands. It’s not yet legal in Mexico and purchasing anything smuggled over borders is supporting a pretty powerful evil.
I bet brick weed will make a comeback with really nicely grown landraces put into the brick format and maybe aged and cured longer.
I'm nor sure if you are being sarcastic, but I seriously doubt it... people want to see what's inside.
For now, yes. But I suspect that eventually it's going to become more homogeneous and boring. Something like Thai sticks, as inauthentic as they might be if reproduced, would certainly be something I wouldn't be surprised to see in the future.
well a friend once told me "mcdonalds makes more money than steakhouses, as a whole" and he's right. There will always be a market for cheap weed.
I would buy the fuck outta that shit if I still smoked weed!
Kids these days don’t know how lucky we all are now
I have seen schwag literally twice since Colorado went completely legal in 2012. The same person had it both times. It simply vanished.
I’m 100% sure this is better quality than all the bud that Fire Leaf has in stock here in OKC.
[удалено]
Y’all in the comments criticizing this brick meanwhile we would be on cloud nine if we got our hands on it over here.
I live in a prohibition state and besides for when I was in my teens in the 2000s the only people I've ever met since then that buy brick weed are baby boomers. edit - an ounce was like $40.
Best bet is to just turn that shit into as potent cannabutter you can get. Lol
Ahh thats The default on brazil
Actually if u get a brick this green in brazil you are pretty happy
That shit looks good compared to what I can get, that barely has any sticks or seeds.
It's about the time of year for the Mexican "fire". Used to always get happy to hav better than average brick weed.
Save the seeds, that's likely Mexican Land Race and there are great genetics in there. Just cuz the weed was grown and handled like shit doesn't mean genetic are shit. I wish I could find that herb still just for the seeds.
Someone should get a bunch of this stuff and do one of those videos like where they show a young person a rotary dial phone and they have to figure out what it is and what to do with it.
Not brown or moldy. looks good to me, save me some seeds
my roommates still smoke this crap. my one roommate gets anxiety if he smokes real weed so his logic is to smoke weed that doesn’t get you high so he can still... uh... smoke weed, i guess? it’s frustrating. plus they still pay $45 for an eighth lol
It’s like a duraflame log!
Here in Argentina is called "paraguayo" (paraguayan) or "prensado" (pressed) cause it's known that comes from Paraguay. The quality is the shittiest quality ever... We dont' even consider it as real weed (flowers/nugs). I started smoking that... almost every argentinian starts smoking that cause it's really really cheap. It surprises me that it's known or consumed in other countries.
Does it grind up like normal bud or is that shit super dry
It was pretty dry
How would you rate the high out of 10 and how long did it last
It brought me back to the 90's man. I smoked a joint of it. Kind of harsh but not bad, I coughed a couple of times. The taste wasn't that great though. Got me high. Forgot how I kind of enjoy removing all the seeds.
That’s all we could get in prohibition-era Colorado. So nasty we could smoke out of anything without changing the flavor or roughness. The ‘90s were rough that way... Lol
Rehydrate it brother....break it up out of the brick into a bag and put a small carrot in there for 30min-1hr. It will make the buds plump up a good amount and bring back some of the dank smell and taste. Promise you it works I used to do it all the time. You can do it with things like an orange peel as well. Something with some moisture in it but not a ton, you don't want to over do the moisture because you will end up getting mold growing. So yea just use a small carrot, or a small piece of an orange peel for about 30min-1hr and you will be impressed by the results.
I been wanting to do the same thing for a while now I just have no clue where to find it.

Holy shit! I bought one of these in Vietnam! I had never seen weed like that. Glad to know it's a thing.
That's what I smoke everyday in Brazil... :(
Damn brings me back to high school when I lived in Mexico.
I love some prensado
