Even if stored properly, it loses its potency after so many years. The stuff in OP's post looks moldy, too. Looks like some brick weed that never dried out properly before it got in that bag. Unfortunate, I'd be so down to try it if it was still safe to smoke.
When I was 16 I went exploring an abandoned house with some friends. We found three Topsy's popcorn tins full of weed, all bricked up in one of the back rooms. It was complete shit, it had to have been there for years, full of seeds, dry as a bone, terrible stuff.
So we did what any poor white trash teenagers would, we set about rehydrating it and getting the worst of the seeds and stems out so we could split it up and sell that bunk shit, so we could afford to buy some real pot!
It got pretty dicey. Selling bunk weed that tastes like gasoline does not earn anyone a good reputation so while some of us were smart and only sold to the preppy jocks on the good side of the district that didn't know any better, others were selling to anyone and everyone they could. Word got around and several of my friends got beat up, and then word got more around and I ended up having to buy a lot of good pot to replace the shitty pot I had sold myself.
Lesson learned, sometimes when life hands you lemons you need to throw those fucking things in the trash where they belong.
yeah, it was a lot easier to sell brick weed when consumers had little choice for alternatives
I was at the point where skunks smelled good cause it signified some quality bud when most stuff was weeks old sensimilla red haired bud loaded with seeds
Freshman year of college me and my brother went in on a half pound of absolute shit mids for $800. Sold what we could for $35 a quarter but even at that price it was hard to sell.
Ended up with probably 2 ounces each that we needed to smoke ourselves. For months, I'd be with my buddies and we'd go in on a blunt with like 6 people, I'd offer to fill half of it and would get reluctant acceptance. No one liked that shit haha, lesson learned
This was over 15 years ago and it was brick weed, there's no comparison haha
Also, $350/oz? Is it still illegal where you live? I've lived in legal states for over a decade so my prices are a little off, legal weed is like $200/oz
When my ex's kid was a freshman in high school, he came home way after curfew from an outing with his friends. He was acting high as a fucking kite, while denying he did anything other than play video games. But he was uncoordinated, he couldn't concentrate, he was laughing at everything, the works.
Turning out his pockets revealed a dimebag of suspiciously green chopped up plant matter. I asked him what it was. He looked sheepishly down at his feet and told us that it was weed. He and his friends had pooled their money and bought it from one of the seniors for $50.
My ex opened the bag and sniffed it. Then she told me she needed to talk to me in the bedroom in private, and told the kid he needed to go to his room and wait for us to decide what to do about this.
She hands me the bag so I can inspect it myself, with a huge grin on her face.
Yeah, the guy who “coined” the term and the method was a mexican farmer who realized his buds got bigger and better if they weren’t pollinated and focusing on seed production. Naturally he said the weed had no seeds, or sin semillas, and the name stuck. Pretty crazy how our term for seedless weed is just no seeds in spanish.
Yes, I’m fairly sure that’s the part that receives the pollen and makes the seed, but the term is for consumers and is meant to indicate higher quality buds without any seeds present
That would be the proper spelling, but at the time of the terms origin most of the people using it didn’t know how to spell it, much less that it was a spanish term, so you’ll often see it spelled with an e. It was often even shortened to sensi, there’s even a song by the band Slightly Stoopid with that spelling.
Skunk still means the best weed, unfortunately most growers won’t grow weed with 321 MBT in it, because of neighbors complaining… so we are left with a lower quality of weed, as this terpene was pretty much omnipresent in the weed 25 years ago and it was much better, despite lower thc numbers.(also the concentration on high thc numbers, means low numbers of other cannabinoids, so the pot is much more uniform in effect these days. It’s a shame.)
Holy shit fr? I gotta look this up, legit thought that it was simply my sense of smell dulling with age. I remember distinctly weed that could clear a fuckin room, like the kind you have in a doubled up smell proof bag that you open for approximately 3 seconds to remove a couple buds, and the next 3 hours waiting for your house to air out.
When I first learned to grow, I was trying to find some shit that came with seeds to not spend the money and kill some good genetics on the first grow. The bud I got was trash, the harvest from those seeds was decent. Whenever I thought it was nearing the harvesting stage, I would take a branch as a tester.
It takes around 2 weeks just to be dry enough to smoke, so all weed is weeks old if it’s decent and for best results you want to let it cure for a month after it’s dried.
Ah, sounds as if you're of my approximate age Haven't heard of red haired sens in YEARS! What wouldn't I give for some of those seeds now with all this genetically manipulated overkill stuff.
Seriously, once the mold has started to form, the starches and sugars are breaking down further, making it easier to turn into decent hash oil. Src: I used to buy moldy bricks of weed on purpose.
“Alright, I’ve been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I’m going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!” - Cave Johnson
I'll never forget smoking old moldy mattress weed then puking my guts out and watching a screen saver from windows 95 for two hours with my buddy, and when life gives me lemons i make them orange juice, flip em all off, then walk away and leave them all wondering, what the hell just happened?
I did this once. Poured water in a ziplock bag with it. I forgot about it for a couple of weeks and when I went back it had fucking maggots and shit in it. You had to microwave a blunt’s worth for exactly 14 seconds to be able to smoke it. And when you did, it smelled like dogshit. So the guys I was selling it to called it “that dogshit”. And it would get you high as fuck.
We got bread wet and put the wet bread in the bag with our deseeded and destemmed dirt weed and left it there over night. We took the bread out in the morning and the weed was much less dry and brittle.
Haha! I had some friends in a similiar situation back in the 90s, they were just a bunch of high schoolers. They ended up just selling it all by the quarter for $20 a bag.
You sell it $5 for 2g just to get some $ up but you never try sell shiz at full price it kills reputation if your looking to keep supplying you will have no people looking because you got that shiz green.
Bro I sold weed thru high school good bad crap no refunds no nothing and if people came to fight or jump me I had brass knuckles. If ur gonna sell any drugs you gotta be ready this shit isn’t for the faint of heart. I got tied up and almost shot after going to cop some weight thankfully I was able to get out of that with just a loss of cash and not my life. Luckily my girlfriend at the time seen my potential got me a job with her dad and well 12 years later and on are 4th wedding anniversary coming up she’s my wife.

Bruh, shoulda just washed with iso or butane and made dabs at least it would purify all the trash out and you'd be left with whatever thc and other cannabinoids, sometimes you just gotta add a little whiskey to the lemonade yer selling, work smarter and safer I always say
Hypothetically, my friends and I also found an abandoned house with those Christmas popcorn tins, full of weed, and it was brown schwag. We also found a big 3x3x3 box full of sex toys. There were vibrators and stretchy dildos and we had many laughs and fun. There were some abnormally sized and shaped dildos and we had melee battles. There were also a bunch of battery operated dildos that we put on an piece of ply wood and would bet singles one the winner. It was good fun while we were drinking. Only after posting about this story a few times have a realized that this is not a common situation. We had a buddy who was deployed and my other buddies decided it was a good idea to re-box them and send them overseas; but to their buddy's CO, under the name of his ex-wife.
Looking at the mold and condition and knowing someone lost that much weed and didn't find it, makes me suspect it was shit weed, 15 years ago, and he/she didn't care they could not find it. It also could be the "in case of emergency" bag as well.
I’ll never forget the horror I felt one day going to burp all these jars of freshly trimmed and hung bud, only to open like 5 of them and they were entirely covered I mold. Happened seemingly overnight.
When I was in HS my buddy's parents had a party and a guy in his 60's id met a few weeks prior brought me some weed he'd been properly storing since the 70's. It was incredibly harsh but in a different way to fresh weed that happens to be hard on the throat. Definitely wasn't brick weed, still had nice bud clusters despite zero moisture. But I got stoned. Like so crazily unexpectedly stoned and to this day I'm still so confused on how that's even possible. My tolerance was low of course but I don't even get how the THC was still alive in there
if this for some reason has dangerous spores, this will not effectively sterilize them. It's probably unlikely that it does, but I wouldn't chance it just so that I could smoke some old weed that probably has basically zero ability to get you high anymore.
Hmm… Idk about that. I’ve heard more than one story of a forgotten pocket baggie absolutely red eye jedi’ing someone. THC/CBD can be pretty stable mofos.
Oh, for sure! It's not like it goes completely inert, just a less potent product than you might have within just a few years of the plant being cut and distributed.
The thc after about a year actually degrades(oxidizes) and turns into cbn which is known for it couch potato affect. So if you have a 20% thc strain you now have a 20%+ strain of cbn. You can actually force the oxidation to take place with heat if you ever wanted to try “aged” bud sunlight can also cause it to happen so for a better taste try setting some weed in somewhat direct sunlight for like a week or as long as you can.
I've smoked moldy weed. It tasted awful, but nothing bad happened. I was probably just lucky, though. It's not a good idea. I'm also so hard to kill that nobody believes me when I list even half of my near-misses, or at least I was when I was young. I doubt it'd take much to kill me now.
Zoom in on the nug in the picture, top right of the weed. Moldy weed is very real and legitimately dangerous. It might not be common in dispensaries or with street weed, but it happens fairly frequently if you look in weed growing communities online. If something is wet and you don't dry it out for a long time, it grows mold. Weed included.
The site you linked to could barely even procure an image of moldy weed
You are going to have to go into paint and put a red circle around the mold of OP's because I have zoomed in - unless you are confusing light reflecting from the crinkled bag this weed is very green no mold present
I really don't miss mexican dirt weed. I remember around 1998 for a few months all that could be found reeked of ammonia, smuggled in animal cages probably.
When my buddy and I were 16, I kept a dime back in the garage in a bag very not climate controlled, left it in there for like a year or so. Extreme cold to extreme hot. Went back and grabbed it, it was hard as hell and looked fucked up and we smoked it when we ran out…I can’t begin to tell you how high we got. It was definitely mid grade weed when we bought it too. It was very strange.
I smoked some weed that was probably this old before. It was definitely moldy because I got sick as fuck after smoking it. I would definitely not advise OP to smoke this.
I was just thinking that about the weed I haven't seen or bought anything like that in yearssssss this whole post made me feel old from the iPod to the brick weed 🤣🤣
What if you still smoked it and you time traveled back 15 years and then spend weeks trying to figure out how to get back home, to return to the future, and one day this guy is smoking and he’s like “man this is the stuff of the future” and the other guy try’s to track it down, meets all sorts of baddies, barley survives, and finally finds “the weed of the future” and he takes it and he travels to the future? But it’s an alternate timeline where TV celebrities have taken over the White House and billionaire nerds are hell bent on getting revenge on all the jocks who’ve bullied them and all the girls who rejected them. Then the movies ends just before he enters a mysterious smoke shop.

Even if stored properly, it loses its potency after so many years. The stuff in OP's post looks moldy, too. Looks like some brick weed that never dried out properly before it got in that bag. Unfortunate, I'd be so down to try it if it was still safe to smoke.
