i vendro i just bought from may be selling fake weed, the weed looks real, but both strands i ordered smell funny, the first one smells like regular grass, the second one smells chemically. Is there anyway to confirm that the weed is fake? Who knows it may be real, just bad quality. The price is pretty cheap. if i send a moderator bitcoins for them to order the weed and look or test it, wouldi be able to get arefund if it is fake. Is there any other way to confirm?

No moderators are going to take you up on that offer I'm afraid, I for one am no expert on weed.
What are others posting on the forums? have you seen anyone else raising concerns?
I would say if it smells chemically that could be an indication of it having been grown poorly and not flushed though before being cropped, often chemicals are added to the plant feed during growing to boost potency of the THC but those chemicals needs to be flushed afterwards which takes time. If the grower didn't do that the plant may have a nasty smell and be pretty grim to smoke. I am of course just speculating.

Some weed smells different than others.
Just because some that you have does not smell like others you have smoked in the past does not automatically mean that it is fake.
For instance, low grade commercial bud and beasters usually do not have a smell (and may smell like the "grass" scent you described).

low grade commercial bud SPRAYED !! >:(

Got to go along with SSBD on this one, probably over fed to death, and not flushed, hence the immature smell. Also he could of fucked up, during the curing! Poet and I didn't know it!
Either way, don't put up with it. Plenty of reputable vendors, who have dank sticky bud. If he claims top weed, the he's misleading, but you said it was cheap, so there's your answer.

Never heard about fake week before ???
But it is just probably some cheap ass weed.

I think I may have have that before from SR. It isn't fake it's just poor quality.
I remember because the one I received smelled like damp grass (actual grass, not weed). It wasn't very strong as it took me about 5 spliffs to feel a little high. Then again, it was around £8/g and the prices in my area (for decent weed) is normally £20/g so can't really complain if you aren't willing to spend the £'s.
Update us after you've tested it :)

if it smells like grass it wasnt dried and cured right and i would chech it with a microscope for mold they sell the small handheld scopes at hydro shops. you will see what you have

does it look like weed.. or is it like a rolled ball sort of shape ?
I was in portugal recently and noticed they sell fake weed.. smells chemically.. had no affect.. funny thing was they would sell it in bags of 6 or 9 buds.. but every single 'bud' looked 100% the same.. like it was synthetic or some shit... not even the 'fake' weed you can buy online that atleast a weed smell. take a pic of it
