---------------------------------------------------------------

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.

im not sure if what you were getting in vegas is really the same thing that we here in the northeast are calling "beasters." that shit never put a smile on my face. some of it is very low potency and even if it gets you high, the high is dull and boring. id rather have mexican brick or nothing at all. beasters isn't just any indoor commerical weed, it's a special kind of mediocre crap that's super hard, smells like hay, has often been keifed. its not even that cheap at the retail level either. ive seen morons here thinks it's good weed and pay 20/gram for it. boston is the beasters capital from what ive seen. ny consumers are little more savvy.

when i started smoking, i got mostly compressed sativa from central america/caribbean(large immigrant communities from all these countries in my area). one of my friend's brother actually mailed him oz's from jamaica, even as a 13 year old, i though that was crazy and couldn't believe every package from jam. wasn't being searched!

potency varied, but it usaully got me very high if i smoked enough. on average, this stuff was much better than beasters. another one of my friends saved two oz's from different batches of compressed sativa import in his mother's basement deep freezer for over ten years. (actually, he went to prison and then forgot about them). they were just the two bags that he happened to have there at the time. we smoked them around 2003 after years on ice. for my taste, both batches were better than the average indoor commercial grade seedless type herb that's now ubiquitous. one of the oz's was outstanding, with an intense high that actually reminded me in some respects of an acid trip. this one was lime green compressed into clumps and crumbled into powder. the other, more typical oz was brown, flat and layered like slate, but with a nice sativa high. so i know im not imagining things when i say that beasters, indica, indoor, seedless and all that aren't so much better than what was.

anyway, the good news is that here in the nyc area, excellent quality sativa dom. headies are more available than ever and the more informed smokers are increasingly demanding sativa type highs and turning their noses up at couch locky indicas. praise the lord.

Hmmm...maybe we are thinking of different stuff. I guess you could call the stuff that I used to get "mids". I don't know if I ever had "beasters".

if it makes any kind of a difference, in my particular reach of the midwest, beasters are that gray area between midgrades and kind. most of it was unimpressive but smoked alright, if you didn't mind that chemical fertilizer taste and picking seeds out. we speculated that they were bricked up, seeded nugs but were fairly sure they were not canadian (too sticky).
they always smelled like hay, or with a soapy or a almost evergreen smell to them, super dense buds. one particular batch looked terrific, like senseimilla but had a total lack of trichomes. it smelled and tasted overwhelmingly of sweet hay and got dubbed the SH beasters. smoked alright. unimpressive. i'll stick with my afghani, thanks.

i was up in montreal recently and i got a bag of "blueberry". Needless to say, it looked exactly like the beasters in this thread. Reminded me of the herb i used to smoke 15 years ago. Got a half gram of hash too, and believe me, i had to mix the bud and hash together to get any buzz; then the buzz wore off after about 45 minutes. Screw that!

Of course, I am so used to OG, TW etc that it was going to be tough no matter what. The other people I smoked with seemed to enjoy it; i didn't rain on the parade. IMO, that crap would be best taken in brownies.

beasters freakin suck, and as other people stated , to a lot of pot smokers it's the best they can get. beasters are all over Pennsylvania state and i'd imagine much of the surrounding region, too. beasters and dealers are the reason we started growing

You speak the truth gained from experiance my man, Northeast smokers only considered growing because the canadian bud everyone had ill effects, built up a quick tolerance too...well there were guys with money sign in their eyes who just recreated the problem here. People really respond and are learning about all organic bud, nothing store bought
