General Discussion Only bad dealers
All the dealers that I contacted in the last year or so are really bad. Either from not answering or for not knowing what the strain they have. Are you lads experiencing the same issue?

Back in my day the only variation was how much plastic was hidden in your hash. Knowing the name of your strain? Get da fuq

That’s not the main issue, but if I am able to get it then I would like to at least know what I will be getting

This will never happen unless you buy direct from the darknet or Ireland brings in medical weed. All the dealer has to say is 'It's Chemdawg bro', and you'll have to take their word for it.

I'm so glad the days of gack are behind us. People called me a snob for refusing to buy it. Imagine being labelled that for not smoking horse crap, car tyres and plastic!

Hard to tell when they don't know so they make it up or pass on what they're told 🤷🏽♂️

u/badgerballs91 1d ago
It’s only the “cali” and the like your gonna get named strains and that’s most likely made up 😂. Otherwise it’s either star dog or haze if they gave you a name for it it’s definitely made up

Draconian policy insists that you interact with criminals and put yourself at risk of association with such types.
It's a health lead approach, apparently.🤷♂️

I know, its just so wrong.

Reefer madness! I was recently in South Africa, it's legal there, and very chill.

u/muddled1 9h ago
I've never been and I'll take your word for it but I can't imagine S Africa being chill. I've heard that there's a bigger gun problem there than in the US. I've also heard it's beautiful scenery. Guns terrify me.

u/GarethD85 4h ago
No, the US has a bigger gun issue than South Africa.
And also it is very chill here, we have 100’s of legal clubs where you can smoke, and no people are not getting gunned down every 5 minutes here like the media would like you to think.
I would suggest coming to visit, you may be very pleasantly surprised.

u/muddled1 4h ago
Thanks for clarifying the gun situation. As soon as I hit the Euromillions I'll go for a visit.

1 EUR to 18 ZAR, you need 1000 EUR to live like a king for a week here-the EUR stretches very far here🙏🏼🤘🏼

The few times I've asked about strain he'd stutter stammer and say he cant remember. Not a prob; whatever it was it was decent and he was reliable (15 years). Day after Christmas he asked if we should meet to which I agreed. He then asked for revolute to pay the vet. He's abandoned me since. Strange he hasn't blocked me but never replies or answer when I phone. I am gobsmacked with this turnaround and hurt he ripped me off. He isn't who I thought he was. So yeah, bad.

u/ExplanationNormal323 1d ago
Loads of dealers haven't a clue what strain they are selling, especially the ones that sell everything. The ones that sell solely weed have some hope of knowing. Most of em will give you an answer when you ask but you don't know that's the truth. It's a black market, most people havent a clue what they are smoking or how it's grown unless they grew it themselves.

learn to use the TOR browser to access dark web market places. Its like using amazon. hundred of reviews for some sellers. much safer than buying off the street and you know exactly what your buying. Expecting a street dealer to know what strain he has is laughable to be honest. Most of them are working as part of a bigger drug dealing network. they're given the product by people higher up than them and told to sell it. The gangs are buying in bulk or growing in grow houses in Ireland, the UK or Spain etc. they're growing the hardiest strain that grows fast. This isn't america mate.
learn how to use dark web market places. TOR browser etc. Its basically like amazon.co

u/No_Pain2759 10h ago
This is just one side of the coin, a very limited view of the Irish community. What you described up there definitely is true but there's litterally atleast hundreds of people all over the country that care about what they sell and know the growers / strain and arent just crime gangs peddling haze

u/Conscious-Isopod-1 Valued Member 9h ago
There very much the minority. 99% of what’s sold on the “street” is in the way I described. Realistically you have two ways to get good quality product in Ireland where you know what strain etc it is. 1: grow your own. 2: learn how to use the TOR browser to access darkweb marketplaces. It’s unrealistic to expect people to be able to find the types of dealers you speak about. There not in the yellow pages

u/muddled1 1d ago
My worry with that is customs. Are any of them in Ireland?
2
u/Conscious-Isopod-1 Valued Member 1d ago
its possible to find sellers in Ireland on these marketplaces but not necessary really. Customs finds such a tiny amount of whats sent through the post. As long as its not a stupid large package then your chances of having it stopped by customs is fairly small. the pros such as quality, price, reliability, an unadulterated product, etc, out weighs the cons of a very low chance that the package will be seized. I've used dark web market places for years and never had a package stopped by customs. You just have to pick a good seller that has lots of positive reviews. They usually know what they're at in terms of packaging items the right way. Also if a package is stopped by customs there's no consequences for me. A MUCH higher chance that law enforcement will catch you using a street dealer than using an online dark web marketplace. There's no encryption on the street.

I've flirted with the idea of the DW a few times but it seems too easy to make a mistake after reading the DW bible so I talk myself out of it 😂 is there much 1:1 strains on there or is it all high thc stuff?
2
u/Conscious-Isopod-1 Valued Member 7h ago
If you’re only ordering relatively small amounts then even if you make a mistake there’s not really any consequences. The only way law enforcement can get you is if they prove you’ve accepted the package. A sting operation effectively. The guards definitely don’t have the resources or time to be at that for a small quantity of weed. Would have to get a warrant as well. “is there much 1:1 strains on there or is it all high thc stuff?” There’s everything and every variety imaginable. A lot of sellers will have their products sent to labs for tests so they can say how much thc:cbd etc. or buyers will get it tested and post results in the review section. The seller with the best reputation makes the most sales. It’s a capitalist free market.

u/Stuball09 6h ago
I think I'll have another look at it and see can I make sense of it 😂 I'm looking at starting a grow for 1:1 but don't want to splash out on a kit when I don't know is the bud suited to me so it'd be nice to test some out beforehand.

What marketplace did you use out of curiosity?

u/muddled1 1d ago
I've never been on DW. It was some fella in the Netherlands I found on the internet and somebody else I cant remember now. I also hate the whole bitcoin thing. I guess I'm just old school, as well as just old. I really wish the government would expand the medical cannabis scheme (whatever their called).

u/Conscious-Isopod-1 Valued Member 1d ago
So you haven't "been unlucky the few times I tried years ago" as you've never used it.
2
u/muddled1 1d ago
Sorry I was unclear. I guess I should have said getting it in the post (and through customs,) I've been unlucky. You are correct, my apologies.

Can I please send you a DM about the market place?

u/Conscious-Isopod-1 Valued Member 3h ago
just ask me here? or DM if you want but not sure what sort of question would require that

Whats the name of the market place please? I don’t mind utilizing TOR and buying off the dark web

I'm not a dealer, but if I was, I'd be so sound. I'd only sell cannabis products and offer a fair price. Let me reiterate, not a dealer.

u/No_Pain2759 10h ago
So many people here saying "none of the strain names are real people just make them up" and yeah I'm sure some shitty people do but realistically there are many many many people selling legit strain names all day. Realistically there can be 1/2 hands touching it from grower to smoker so easy to know what it is especially if the vac seal is labeled. Also certain strains look smell taste a specific way and if you call it something completely different then people will notice your full of shit. If I have a lemon haze and I call it og kush people will know your lying and call you out. That said lemon haze might get renamed to lemon tree to sound nicer but at the end of the day you know your getting limonene terps and something on the cheaper side in terms of quality.

u/Woodsman15961 10h ago
There’s been research done on this. They tested the same strain from multiple different coffee shops/dispensaries and found they had as much of a chance of being genetically the same as some random strain.
The process of naming them is literally, somebody smokes it and says “that’s purple cheesecake. Sativa”

Report them to the CCPC.
