Most people know the tell tale signs of good weed. Crystallized buds with clean trimming and few stems are easy signs to look for. But fewer people can easily tell when weed isn’t good. While this might seem like common knowledge, more and more people seem to think that any weed is good weed lately. In these next few paragraphs, we are going to discuss how to tell if you have bad weed.

The Easy Signs

bad weedMost of the things that one can use to tell if a certain bud is nice can be reversed to see if the bud isn’t as nice. Bad buds buds often fall right apart or are hard as a rock as opposed to the fluffy quality that most people prefer in good weeds. One great indicator of a bud’s potency is the amount of little crystals you see all over it. Typically, stronger strains will have many crystals and weaker strains will not have nearly as many. While the way a bud was trimmed is a also a good indicator, some cultivators will choose not to do it just because of the amount of time it takes. Getting seeds in marijuana buds is probably another sign of negligent grooming, but I’ve smoked good strains with seeds in them from time to time. It is all up to the grower how the bud will turn out.

When smoking things like stress, people often report more of a dazed state than being high as well as awful headaches immediately or even hours after smoking. If you did not like the way the weed you smoked made you feel, then you probably want to stay away from that kind to avoid feeling bad again. There are lots of things that could potentially be wrong with your weed, but not to jump to irrational conclusions when thinking about the bad weed you smoked. One of weed’s many side effects is paranoia, and these two ideas can feed each other.

Real Dangers of Bad Weed

Lately, there has been a real increase in the study of what makes bad weed bad and the discoveries were shocking. Under microscopes, certain batches of bud were found with small bugs living on them. These buds had smokers reporting sickness and in some cases even severe vomiting. While the problem has been mostly dealt with, there is always a possibility that your bud will have these microscopic bugs on it if it is not lab tested. These tests are there to protect smokers from serious dangers such as this. So if you are ever in doubt about which marijuana clinic, always choose the one with lab tested weed for extra security.

Though it is not common anymore, smokers often used to lace their marijuana with other harder drugs. Whatever it is, it was in a pipe on top of marijuana if it could be smoked. This led to their supplies being contaminated with harder drugs and these were often sold to other smokers. I can not even imagine wanting to relax with marijuana only to find that you had also smoked a small amount of crack! This idea has had people worried for a very long time and it is justified worry. While it is not that likely to happen, the fact is that it could happen whenever you buy weed from someone on the street. Get legal so you can be safe from smoking bad weed now on.
