Title: Received First Weed Through the Mail. Quesitons...
Post by: High Friend on April 13, 2012, 01:02 pm
OK I got my first weed order through the mail and I have a few questions. I hope this hasn't been covered 100 times before but I haven't seen it if it has.

1st: It was very well vacuum sealed and the weed is flatter then a pancake (like 1/4in thick in most places). Is it normal practice for vendors to squish the weed this much when shipping?

2nd: How do I un-squish it? I know it's probably going to smoke the same either way but it's just a mental thing I guess. I'd like the buds to be close to the size they would have been when they shipped.

Thanks!

Hi High Friend (heh),

1st: I'm unsure for personal amounts as I only ever buy bulk, and internationally at that, so the buds I receive are always compressed to some degree, but speaking with your vendor about looser vacuum packing may be an option (this will decrease security to a degree, and not all vendors will be willing to do that.)

2nd: If you take a read through this topic: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=656.msg111446#msg111446 you'll find the method (with accompanying photos) to fluff up your buds!  :)

I've brought this up many times and had this debated.

YES, most of the weed vendors on here are LE and they don't know shit about weed, so they smash it in a vacuum seal. This breaks the trichomes exposing the THC to air and degradation = schwag. Not to mention smashing the weed makes it smell more in the mail.

If you order from me, I put your buds in a hard container and then vacuum seal the hard container. Trichomes come intact, thus THC levels are still high and you can't smell a thing.

And no, there's no way to "un-squish" it. You're like everyone else where I live - you want buds that don't look like shit. If you want those kinds of buds you can order from me.

To be perfectly honest Mister Dank, you have no proof either way. You should certainly place a caveat of "In my opinion" preceding your comments. Giving your argument more weight than should ever be attributed to it, for argument's sake, if most of the top vendors here are LE and people buy enough off you to make you one of the top vendors then won't that, by your logic and to brand new buyers, bring the possibility that YOU are LE?

I'm not trying to be aggressive or insulting here, not in the least, but you really need to look into getting help / self-medicating for paranoid tendencies.
Methods that compress weed for stealthy sending do not a Law Enforcement Officer make.  ::)

Speaking of stealthy sending, do you sell bulk? I think you'd have a very hard time sending bulk amounts disguised as documents for stealth purposes if they're in a hard container.. A stack of documents will usually bend.. A hard container won't. It'll also need to be thin enough to look like documents.. Can you get, say, 4 Oz to me without them being compressed, and still looking like documents?

Hmmm.. Then again... What if I'M LE..? In truth, yes, there is a possibility that everyone on here is a member of law enforcement agencies. Every. single. person. It's possible, though not plausible - just like your initial argument, funnily enough.
Even if the odds are a billion to one against, an idea can still be *possible*, but there has to be a modicum of actual believability for something to be plausible.

High Friend, I've been ordering bulk amounts of green for over 6 months from some of the top weed vendors here. With the necessary precautions, you can't really go wrong ordering from them.  :)
Mister Dank may come back and imply that I'm a law enforcement officer colluding with the top vendors in order to lull buyers into a false sense of security - possible, yes, though not exactly plausible. Most people here are just regular people like yourself looking to get high or make some profit, or both. Always stay within escrow, always do your research on the forums, and always go with your gut instinct - you'll be just fine!  ;)

Domestic weed maybe crushed a little but not flat.
No reason.
So complain you your vendor about packing methods.

Non domestic comes flatten for a reason.
You are told this in the description, or the many threads here.
We break it up and put orange peel, or lettuce in a jar with the compressed bud.
24 hours and they will loosen enough.

I was down at the police station, and the local boys said thats  how they do it. ::)

 It takes LE buyers to have your orders taken before the DCN is scanned, and those are the troll buyers I've been affected by. so yes, I DO have proof. The idea that a vendor could have a 100 score when it only takes ONE troll to give you a 1 of 5 to ruin it forever is PROOF that 100 score vendors are bullshit.

The proof to anyone that I'm not LE is that I have perfect spelling. Cops could never write as many posts of mine with perfect spelling because they are just too stupid. Not surprisingly, my detractors' posts are full of bad spelling and grammar.

Perhaps your packaging methods aren't up to scratch and your packages are being opened before they're put into the sort facility. What would give weight to that assumption is the fact that no other vendor seems to be having the problem that you are.
Please don't try and tell me the reason for that is because "they're all LE" because that is absolutely ridiculous. It is possible, of course, but highly improbable. As I stated earlier, "Even if the odds are a billion to one against, an idea can still be *possible*, but there has to be a modicum of actual believability for something to be plausible."

As for vendors having 100 scores despite receiving 1 of 5.. Oh dear! You clearly haven't done your homework on the ratings system.  :-\ The ratings are 'weighted' depending on the value of the item bought and how recent the rating is. This means that some ratings are valued higher than others. Your supposed "PROOF" is actually based on an incorrect assumption rather than the method used to calculate ratings. I find your lack of understanding about the system you utilise to conduct your business quite disturbing indeed.  ???

You need to read the thread here: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=12361.0
I think that might actually solve most of the issues you seem to have with other vendors.  :o

How could perfect spelling possibly be proof that you're not LE? Implying that cops are "just too stupid" to spell correctly is honestly one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard.  ;D Really..? Like.. Really..?! I have 2 friends who are cops, both who have literacy levels equal to mine as we all excelled at English in school. I suppose having friends who are cops makes me a cop too though, right?  8)

Lastly, I would consider myself one of your detractors and my spelling, grammar and syntax are 99% perfect. No spelling or grammatical errors here.  ;)

(Just in case you attempt to attack my spelling, here in Europe we use 's' in a number of words instead of 'z' - 'utilise' being an example. Just sayin'.  ::))

Can't let the trichomes be exposed to all that oxygen that's in the vacuum bag hahah.

Personally, I'd be a little pissed if my weed came all smashed. But I live in a medical marijuana state, and we probably have better standards here.

Unlike the rest of us, LE vendors can coordinate with the post office, so yeah, they have such a huge advantage they can run this site and make up all the top vendors. There are only a handful in each category, so its far from "highly improbable" and more like "probable".

This is a strawman. I never mentioned "vendors having 100 scores despite receiving 1 of 5"...I said that one 1 of 5 ruins your score - and it does!!! Even if you have 50  5/5s before it. My PROOF wasn't that they had a good score despite the 1/5, but that they weren't getting any 1/5s, despite the trolls on here.

If you have friends who are cops, you're a douche that's for sure. And yes, cops are fuckin retards who can barely spell their own names. There have even been news stories of cop wannabes not getting hired after scoring too high on IQ tests. They want dumb people because it takes someone dumb to be a cop. Not surprisingly, the dickheads that troll me generally have poor spelling.

Yep, you get the most flak when you're right over the target. You're all newbies that are obvious trolls to anyone over cop IQ. Probably not even different people.

Most amusing is how you used a logical fallacy (unsupported statement of fact) to accuse me of logical fallacy.

Many vendors do offer solutions to this

For example one I remember used these cardboard boxes and they where vac'd

Also some use these metal sealed bags that dont have to suck the air out but keep the smell out well enough, they probably wipe it down with ISO Alcohol after too.

But unless you are planning on dealing the weed I dont see the problem, its the same weight, grinds up the same..

I've received several QPs from different vendors and I've had 100% success ratings and no doors being kicked in. No amount of studying can guarantee you're safe because anyone can be compromised at any time but there's a lot to say about doing your homework on your vendors.

Mister Dank, your shananagans have earned you a customer.

Im in an iron curtain state so I've never smoked good bud, just cheap shit is all one can get here. So I guess I dont know what Im missing. But it gets he high, so if it aint broke....

Anyway, Mister Dank is right about one thing. The low salary along with the ability to be the boss where ever you are entices a lot of idiots to become cops.
