To be honest the bud looks fine. I feel like there is some OCD/Paranoia going on here more that anything. Don't wash the bud in anything just smoke it or give it away, what country are you in that you are so concerned about this? I have heard all sorts of myths and having it laced/weighted but its just that - myths or the ghetto.

Are you saying that when you break the nug and you don't see trichromes?

I do not see a lot of trichomes because of the powdery substance that's on the bud. But Under a microscope they are visible but something else is also present. It's a country in western europe so I wouldn't think too much of it.

I'm not really scared that the buds would be infected by anything dangerous as that would be retarded given the risk. So I'm guessing it's some kind of mold, which is a very sad thing.


We asked our dealer and he said it's muzzle that the person he bought it off sprayed on it, anyone knows what that means?

Laced weed was all around the UK for years it's not a myth. It was sprayed with sugar water and left to dry so the sugar would remain on the bud and weigh it down.

So we've put in under a microscope 100x, 250x and 450 and what we've found was a somewhat concerning. It is definitely not the thrichomes, but it didn't look like mold of powdery mild. So we decided to look a bit at the actual particles on the buds which were very easy to obtain just by squeezing the bud a bit. Under the microscope it looked like a solid ice block which got me kinda scared because I cannot find similar looking pictures online so I think they might've laced the weed with something to get more weight. It does not look like salt, baking powder, sugar, hairspray, cocaine, meth or chalk so I've no idea. I'm guessing or it is powdery mildew or it's something like a crushed pill or something idk.

I've also put a bud in just some water and a lot of dust-looking stuff came off it, gonna dry it and see tomorrow how it looks and i'm probably going to try the peroxide tomorrow.

But just looking at the buds gave me and my friends a disgusted look because we are all agreeing it's definitely not what a proper bud should look like.

to be honest I'm thinking it will be in our best interest to trow it away, 100 g's straight to the garbage..

What's the ash like? If it's contaminated it'll burn grey and the contaminate will burn black so you'll get 2 different colours in the ash.

I'm guessing the same, i've washed a bud and it weight less dried than it did before so I'm guessing it's that. s

Would it be possible to verify by tasting the particles or would that be a really stupid thing to do?

Most laced weed smells the BBQs when it burns. It's not always sugar though can be anything! I've heard of weed being laced with fibre glass.
Give it taste I can't see it harming you if you've already smoked it lol

You just told us your dealer said it was
Muzzle, then asked us what that was.

Why not ask him.

He said it was muzzle which indicates to me he has no fucking clue and if he has he won't tell me for sure, all he said was that it was not dangerous.

Welp that would be crazy but I would've noticed effects I think, I've smoked about 2 grams of it before i started noticing all the powder, but unless I can't tell what a cannabis high feels like it didn't feel any different. The high just felt kinda dirty. I do hope very much so it's not heroin lol. The point of lacing weed with something addictive is to get the customer hooked right?

No lacing it is to weigh it down make 70g of bud weigh100g...do you not think lacing weed with heroin would be a bit expensive and kill all the customers lol

His dealer said it was muzzle not me.
There is also muzzle pepper spray.
But we have no way of reassuring him what his dealer meant

Hey man, I ain't trolling.

I've never had this kind of issue before with my weed it was always decent at least. I'm pretty certain it won't be any hard drugs because I would've noticed already. So I'm guessing fungi or laced with some junk which is annoying.

Thanks for all your help folks, def not gonna smoke anymore of it, if in the near future I know what it is then I will update.

Thank you very much, it very much is a dumb situation but w/e forced breaks are never a bad thing.

I'll conclude with:

- Smoking it gave me no different noticeable effects than cannabis except for anxiety maybe lol.
- While smoking it it tastes like literally nothing except like shit, i'd rather smoke a cigarette which is very odd since I've quit smoking out of disgust and replaced it with cannabis.
- The bud does not feel stick whatsoever but rather like a spunge.
- Tossing the bud around a bit and squeezing gently in it makes a shit-ton of dust looking stuff fall out.
- Grinded it smells worse and more sour than not grinded (not grinded there is actually some sort of sweetness)
- Washing a bud resulted in a lot of residu but can be anything really.
- Looks like mold or fungus but also not really.

Thank you illegal market..
