A friend told me that people were putting sand into skunk and that a friend had been hospitalized but I thought this was just a rumour/myth.
I have however done some research and found that this is not a roumour but a potentially harmful addative.
The cannabis appears to have loads of THC crystal and has a distincitve 'gritty' appearence when you get some in your mouth.
This is most likely 'silica sand' which is stuck to the bud with some kind of glue.
I ground up 10g of this 'gritweed' and collected 1.3g of sand, thats 13% sand! To test the theory that it was not THC crystals I held a flame to a pile of this for a 3 minuites to try and burn it but it still had the hard, gritty texture of sand.
I have put pictures on my blog page here http://uk.360.yahoo.com/dub_station_alfa_5
And another website with more info http://www.ukcia.org/
Have you experienced any bad effects from this gritweed?

i know silica derivatives can be cancerous as i used to work in a place that used silica and we had to wear full face mask to prevent inhalation of the silica dust, when i found out about the harmful side effects of the dust, which i read on one of the bags, i quit 5 mins after reading it. my health was not worth that risk.

Yeah i have pretty much quit smoking now but i was smoking some weed a few weeks ago and noticed something hard almost like a grain of sand between my teeth, and could also see little crystals in the weed. Even still though im sure its not as contaminated as the disgusting soap bar hash. I quit after i was convinced my half ounce absolutely stank of diesel. Smoking the plastic that binds it together cant be healthy either.

Instead of sand, perhaps arsenic would do the trick?
I think it's pretty common knowledge all kinds of things are put into drugs, including weed. Unless you personally cultivate it, and prepare it yourself, assume it has some nasty **** in it...

I am a scientist so I can help you. Your research is interesting and the drug squad which to assist you with it. Please take a quarter to the police station I tell them I sent you.
