How to tell real purple weed from fake

[chernobe]

Step 1. wet a paper towel and give it a good squeeze

Step 2. take a purple bud, wrap it in the towel and squeeze hard for 10 sec or so

Step 3. if there is any color whatsoever on the paper towel don't buy it/smoke it, the bud has been dyed/sprayed/treated etc with something thats def not gonna be good for you. They did it to charge you more.

Step 4. keep in mind that real purple weed will never ever do this, no matter what the guy selling it says.

I was disturbed and amazed by the amount of fake purps ive seen since learning this trick a year or so ago. In my area people are known to steal power, light up the whole house, color their shit up and try to get the dispensaries or vendors to pay top dollar for it, and ultimately the patient is the one who loses the most. Ive seen guys try to explain it away like some sort of fruit juice, like squeezing a strawberry. But people will say anything to make a buck. Hopefully this will save at least one person a headache, and if you have any methods of your own please feel free to share them

Why would anyone dye their bud makes no sense to me.

Well that's just fucking stupid,I'm not in a med or legal state but was under the assumption that they checked their shit out with a microscope and if this dude can tell the difference, then how would a business, that checks for quality can be fooled but this dude has it figured out.

Kind of the opposite, this is a trick I learned working with a club. I had the same reaction, this only happens to kids, people in the midwest, or folks who deal outside of their own people. Until the owner brought out a sample of what somebody had tried to vend earlier that day. Looked like great bud until it hit the wet paper towel and left a big purple blotch on it. I never gave much thought as to how they color it because thats not how I do business. As to why they do it, its the very same reason counterfit goods are made. To take money from people who dont know any better. Dont beleive me? Thats cool, try it out on a few different kinds and see for yourselves. Your bound to run into some no matter where you live.

Correct me if I am wrong but, all weed can be purps if it is grown in cool temps. Certain purps are just a darker purp due to genetics.

I think the anthocyanin expression trait was "bred into" certain Indica lines. My C99 had no trace of purpitude. cn

Cold temps def trigger the genome but not all strains have it. Any strain can get cold spots tho those will look purple.

Also another way to tell freeze the bud in water untill its an ice cube and put it in the glass of water, if the water looks like grape kool-aid, you done got skazzed see! It's a little more advanced than your paper towel method, so.....
