The stuff you posted pictures of is the exact stuff that floats around here, and I know someone who is in the loop that produces that stuff. Actually it is produced in Canada, but I wouldn't call it Canadian bud because it is grown by the vietnamese here in Toronto. I'm sure it's grown by others, but most of it is by the Vietnamese. There was a large bust of this crap and I don't think you would have heard about it, but it was the largest bust in Canadian history for commercial pot. Happened just recently, so you may see a little less around your neck of the woods.
My friend was in the loop like I said and a lot was his families. The total of it was owned by a bunch of vietnamese families and their close friends and it was all grown in a few large high rises that have hydro included. This makes it hard to see the hydro being used because the bill is all lumped together. Some are also done in Hamilton, but by a different group. They busted some 60 or so flats filled with pot. So I know this stuff very well. It is crap and goes here for about $1800.00 a pound Canadian, but I'm sure it could get bought for much less. That would be my price buying three or four pounds at a time, but my friend gets it much cheaper. I know for a fact most gets shipped to the USA because they can get much more for it over there. Actually, I think Mexican brick is slightly better quality, but this stuff sells better because it looks like hydro to the uneducated.
I think a lot of beasters that goes around is in fact local just done really crappy but handled the same. If it's wet it wasn't imported. It needs to be bone dry or else it would mold and loose it's value if not sold fast enough. If it's bone dry then it probably is from Cananda.
I don't think people should think of Canadian weed as Beasters or bad in general. I mean there is crap everywhere, here and in the USA. It just makes some people a lot of money, but you don't have to buy it. There is some good weed here in Canada, but unfortunately it is too stinky to ship so most stays for the Canadian market. Stinky stuff that does get across the border goes for enormous amounts of cash because of the risk involved. Just think how hard it is to conceal multiple pounds of stinky primo pot even when vacuum sealed. It is not easy. I think this is the reason most of the Canadian bud is crap that gets shipped over, just for the fact it is easier to ship and there is tons of it. Better quality stuff is not grown in such bulk. The vietnamese only see money when they look at bud. They are not like us.
I use to get the best primo weed from someone about ten years ago. This stuff was bone dry and as primo as you could get. It was in fact commercial done in a few large barns from someone I know quite well. I was buying it for a long time and then there was no more available one day. When I asked what happened he told me his group that he worked with started shipping it all to the USA because they could get way more for it there. I was pissed to say the least as I was making a killing on this stuff, but money comes before friendship I guess. He could have at least saved me a few pounds a month as he was producing over thirty consistantly every month even in the summer. Cheap bastard! I don't speak to him anymore. From what I heard last he is still going about business the same way. It's funny, usually people who make enemies in this business don't last long, but he is still going strong. That I cannot understand.
Sorry for the long post. I just thought I would chime in to let you know what I know about a very small portion the market.
