Beaster...

near where i live there is a generating station that burns wood chips. trucks routinely come down from Canada mills to drop chips at our station. These are full size semi trailers full of wood chips mind you, coming across the border daily. when they get to the station the truck backs into a huge lift that lifts the trailer up and dumps the contents into a hopper where is is sent to wherever it goes.
A few months ago a truck backed into the lift and was tilted up about 3/4 of the way when 3 bales of canna fell off the bottom of the truck into the hopper. The trucker took off and the hopper locked up because its designed to move loose chips not bales LMAO.

just thought i would share my canada schwag story.

why do we hate beasters? cuz they are usually wet and don't burn, get sprayed with brix +, harvested too early, poor taste/smokeability, no trichs. every once in a while you get lucky and score some decent beast for 20/40, but people make a killing off it selling it for 25/50 when they score elbows and oz's dirt cheap.

Yea it is pretty deceptive is why I hate it, overpriced.

Looks real good, but I don't find it uncommon to find mexican bricked sativa type weed that is more potent than the beasters, you get twice as much for half the price around here.

I heard they some of them just bounce the bud on a keif screen before it goes out, sounds like a good idea.

yeah, sometimes you can find good beast, we call it sexy beast around here. but the term beast is improperly used, so alot of people who really dont know what they're talking about just call it beast. just like the term headies, which was coined for the top most potent colas, will mean "good weed" to the uninformed public. :laughing:

Lol I thought that was brick weed or schwagg or shitty import lol? I think beasters are something different.

nah thats what it is. at least down here that is what its called.

not my pics but I found a perfect example. I shit you not people sell this here for 300 an 0 and 3500 a lb. but on average its about 250 an 0. its what most people have as "kind bud" as pathetic as that is.







which is why we smoke schwag at 80-120 an ounce that is usually more potent and honestly a better high. you definitely get more trichomes from grinding an 1/8 of schwag than you do beaster. no doubt. the problem is good bags of schwag are pretty impressive. bad bags are insanely horrible. stay away from 50 dollar ounces they are the worst lookin shit you ever seen. but decent schwag ain't bad. especially at 100 bucks an 0. especially around december when its just fresh bricked mexican sativa cheap and decently grown.

Those people who make those beasters and strip the buds; what do they do with the stuff that they strip off ? Make hash or something ? Wouldn't they make more money just selling decent buds, without stripping any stuff off ?

:wave:
not really coz they sell the hash, then they sell the weed as well, so they in reality get to sel the same resin twice.....
Happens in Dam too, so next ime you buy polm in a coffeeshop, spare a thought for the man at the next table smoking weed, your smoking his resin, hahahahaha

Around where I live the Vietnamese gangs cash crop M39. They buy houses all over the suburban areas. They don't grow for the quality of weed. They grow for weight and bag appeal. There is so much beasters going around that a lot people don't smoke anything else. Very dense buds, usually moist that you need a coffee grinder to break them up. Indica high, burns horrible and can sometimes give you a headache. After the buds are keifed for hash they will sometimes be sprayed with 7up or sprite to make them sticky (or god knows what else).

This kind of weed, like the mexican import and the afgan hash is actually dangerous stuff simply because it supports gangsters and causes people to associate weed with violence. All the more reason to legalize. But it helps have more people grow their own, i'll always help a friend or family member get started because of this.

I started growing mainly because its so hard to find decent stuff when the market is flooded with garbage. Plus dealing with shady characters and often violent people just to buy some weed is much more dangerous then growing it (for me anyway).

Well, under a legal permit if one existed, I figure the only ones who couldn't gro would have to be paraplegics or something else debilitating like that. IMO the true path to freedom for MJ involves things that would take the $$ out of the picture. All the "problems" constantly complained about by the powers that be stem from the cash trade, not the plant itself...

If you can grow a flower bed, you can grow MJ...Here's my opinion on permits...

ie) Gov't creates, and prints out grow permits so legal adults can buy one & be self-sufficient. These ppl do their thing, and share their extra with friends, just like any other type of gardener/garden. Then $$ goes into country's economy to help fund things like healthcare etc...not into the underworld to fund organized crime. IMO, pot is worth no more than any other garden crop that grows on a plant...

A permit for 1-10 plants by choice/per year, at $20 fee apiece would be good. That way it'd vary from $20-200/year, depending on how many you want to do. Selling remains illegal, except for certain exeptions for med patients who cannot gro due to paralysis or other debilitating illnesses.

Cry about the price of a permit if you want, but first consider this: What does 200 max get you now? 1 oz, maybe - a couple weeks supply? I'd gladly pay it to grow a year's supply in an enclosure in the yard...

There's no quicker way to free the weed, stop filling prisons with smokers/growers at 100K/yr plus in costs per head, and put the cartels out of business regarding MJ. I'd gladly sign in blood to see it happen too...

The unjust laws regarding MJ are the whole cause of all the "problems"... (violence, O. crime, ripoffs, gunplay, etc. All it takes to fix it is to take the correct path...take the value out of it by allowing ppl to grow their own. :rasta:

Oh yeah, it'd get rid of those crappy beasters too...

Peace

Well said my friend, it boggles my mind how politicians think and how standards in gorvernment are today. It's common sense people, MJ laws harm, they do no good.

We get some beasters here but it isn't a big thing. They're sold for way too much (400/ounce usually), and not that many people buy them except stupid high school kids who don't know any better. I don't know, I once got 20 grams for $130 and I think it might've been beasters. It was sinsemilla but it had a body high and there were no trichomes, which I thought was really weird considering it was seedless.

Why can't you just let people grow buy and sell without government interference? There's nothing wrong with money, or selling your buds. Friggin' nanny statists . . .

Amen to that. Amen. I, too, believe that true marijuana freedom doesn't consist of the ability to buy government issued ganja, but our freedom to grow our own plants in peace. I have never grown my own plants because my neighbors are just way too shady and I don't believe in indoor grows (plants deserve to be outside in the sun). Even though I've never grown my own plants, I think cannabis is, by far, the most beautiful plant that exists, not just because I'm a smoker, but also because the details on the plant are just so perfect. With that said, I think the day we're truly free is the day the government says we can grow our own plants in peace. If we were all just able to grow, money wouldn't mean a thing in the marijuana community; we would just go primitive and trade seeds :canabis:.

Peace
