One of the local dealers been putting fibreglass in their shit and fucking up people's lungs... I trust the guy I get it from, but do any of you know how to tell if it has fibreglass or other bullshit in it?

I dont know, its probably just a rumor... all I know is there is a local dealer who people are saying he laces his shit with fibreglass and when you smoke it it damages your lungs worse than asbestos. I was also told its hard to spot but just looks like lil unnatural white hairs

You have no idea how many people are flowering under t5's or using compact florescent to flower. I mean there's a ton of serious growers here too, but a lot of idiot ones.
YOU FUCKING STUPID JUGGALO, look at the third result the bluelight forums, then look at the goddamn 2nd post. it took me 2 clicks and maybe 10 seconds to find the answer to your question quit being an asshole

Gritweed?
2006 i first heard of it in london. the stuff is a fine silicone/sand that is sprayed or tumbled into the weed.
the effects of this?
it is easy to spot, the bud is covered with trichomes, suspiciously perfect. put it in your mouth and they are revealed to be bits of grit. this is done to add weight. i fell out with SWIM, a 30 year relationship for £30
I have done a basic analysis on the contaminants of 3 batches of bud from SW, SE and London- I have also seen similar samples from many, many sources, starting at the end of february 2006.
1: Under microscope at 50x magnification, contaminants appear as very small (50-120 um) beads, with regular circular shape and small pores/ single holes present.
2: Beads do not dissolve in non polar solvents (pet ether) or polar solvents (ethanol, acetone).
3: Beads are insoluble in conc NaOH solution, conc H2SO4.
4: Melting point is above 400C, but cannot perform TG, DTG analysis at the moment so cannot specify any transition temperatures or accurate melting points.
5: The beads have a significant sodium and silicon content, suggesting that the comments previously about silicates are correct.
6: Smoking this has resulted in mouth ulcers and sore throats/ chesty coughs which never occur when smoking normally due to the good health and only occasional cannabis use of the subject.
7: Reliable sources say that this contaminant is industrial etchant spray used for glass frosting, It is a high pressure aerosol of propellant, lubricant and silicate abrasives. This accounts for the high permeation levels displayed in all 3 samples, with particulates presents inside even 'tight' buds all the way into the stems. This also may account for the non plany oils present in the bud which have been previously described as a 'glue'
8: The same sources (and other independent sources) have corroborated the same story of the origin of this contamination. The main suppliers are from 2 major cities to the north of wales and are gangs from these two cities. Most people will guess where I mean as the post 'drought' supplies are mainly concentrated around these cities.
9: Obviously a further qualitative analysis is needed and I may be able to perform MS, IR, NMR and thermal methods on the samples, in particular the oil 'glue' and the gritty particulates.
10: DO NOT SMOKE THIS, IT MAY POSE A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH HAZARD AND WE MAY SEE A DRUG TAKING COMMUNITY CRISIS ON A LARGER SCALE THAN THE MPTP CRISIS OF THE EARLY 80'S.
BUYERS: PLEASE RECONSIDER BEFORE BUYING ANY MORE OF THIS, AND CONSIDER THE DAMAGE YOU MAY BE CAUSING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
PLEASE RE-READ POINT 7. IT IS THE MOST RELIABLE INDICATOR OF THE MOST OBSERVED CONTAMINANTS.
OTHER CONTAMINANTS SUCH AS NATURAL SAND ARE PROBABLY THE RESULT OF SUPPLIERS COPYING THE ETCHANT METHOD WITH WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO HAND. http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/silicosis1.shtml
