Yeah but I get weed in the mail a lot from a buddy. He vacuum seals it flat and puts it in standard envelopes. When you take it out it fluffs right back up. So I don't think that vacuum sealing permanently compresses it. When I first started growing my friends saw me with all these perfect buds and after a while they were like "Dude! Is this homegrown?!". I would deny it but I bought one of those vacuum machines and before I would bring bud I would vacuum seal it to crush it a bit so it did not look so "homegrown" when my buddies and I would smoke out.I heard you could brick weed using a trash compactor, so yeah, I imagine the huge ops just use industrial compactors, or someone else said you could do like a vacuum seal, you know when you suck all the air out of the packaging how it compresses shit? Like have you seen those infomercials for the vacuum sealer storage things, that will like compress all your blankets ad shit down to nothing?
Agreed. All I can say Is I would rather stay away its suppose to help me not hurt me!everywhere i have gone "brick weed" i mean Schwag is compressed weed, smell like shit, tastes like shit, doesn't get me high and full of sticks and seeds. i hate it! i would rather not get high then smoke that shit... imo
Very cool thanks Gypsy! Some real knowledge right there! Wow! They pack it small too! Pics would be awesome!Hey NG...
I didn't read the whole thread.. but I have a bit of experience with bricks...
I spent the first half of my life in South America... and we get a lot of that...
In the south, most of it comes from Paraguay...
So hard we use saws to grind it to a powder to roll it...
50g in a match box (the wooden ones)
250g in a pack of cigarettes...
They hang dry for a week and pack them whole...
A big problem that can happen is ammonia build up... mold is the second biggest...
even if it was quality when it started... the process turns it to crap.. but it is much easier to haul a few tons around that way...
Hope I was not far off... but that is my experience with it...
as for how... now days, hydraulic presses have replaced donkeys riding in a circle.... turning a press...
I'll see if someone can send a picture from down south...
Cheers...
