Good idea If you wanna get mugged off with shiit underweight weed..

Id just take the Eurostar straight to Dam you’ll be there in 3-4hrs no risk or london headache

Just want to view the place , not buy;)

Yea a few. But you have to know someone who knows someone.

I don’t. So therefore meh. No real need to go on reading. 😁

I used to just go to a Taxi Rank in New Cross. It was essentially a weed cafe. 😊

Knowing London it’s probably a real weed cafe now.

Street weed. But in a squat, with a shitty pool table and crap music. Lovely smell of damp and asbestos to go with your ropey old Stardawg you just paid £40 an 8th for.

Hardly Katsu. I commend them for trying. It’s good to test the waters. But do you want to take the risk of being busted in one? Like a rat in a trap. 20 people all blazing in some speakeasy weed cafe. Police come in. It’s like a run of sea bass. You get a whole lot of bang for your bust.

Right now. The Tories would just love that shit. Being all “tough on drugs”. “We busted an illegal weed cafe. 30 arrests. Kilo of weed with a street value of a billion pounds, we also got 40 Nitrous balloons. So prison sentences are likely. Oh. Plus one bloke had half a gram of Cocaine. Worth £600 and half an ounce of Jessop, Jessop, Jessop” - Middle England would lap that shit up like an abandoned kitten laps up milk.

Stupid fucking idea if you ask me. Because you can bet your bottom dollar that every single one of those cafes are under surveillance. Every one.

You will probably get charged. Whereas. Bit of weed in the park or whatever.

“Stop doing that”

But yeah. Power to the people and all that. Rise up against the oppressor man.

Until you actually get arrested.

Nah. We live in a country where weed is illegal. Discretion is an art form. Use it. Chucking weed in people’s faces won’t get it legalised any faster. The opposite.

You get busted in a pseudo weed cafe and watch your whole life go to shit real fast. When your boss asks you. “I saw a picture of you in the paper. When that weed cafe got busted”

You are literally doing the polices job for them. Naive.

There needs to be one in Tooting called Wolfies.

Not one person younger than 45 will get that reference. 😊

Not one person under 45 will know generally what the hell I’m on about full stop. What the hell is this ranty old bloke banging on about? 😘

If you find out. Let me know.

Still Drewissharing keeps making endless videos about them. So they must be a thing. He’s cool. With his flesh tunnels and his ginger fringe. Bless.

🤣

I would literally NOT do anything he recommends.

As for Drewissharing, yeah agreed...however, he was the reason I stumbled onto this place. A friend sent a clip of him talking about TheBitz and that led me to some Reddit post where someone recommended here instead. I much preferred what I saw compared to Bitz. Looking forward to sticking around here now, first package just arrived today. Anyway. Thanks for the laugh :D

☝️ you will not regret finding this place.

Oh I could tell from the moment I saw it (and figured out the basics of crypto haha).

Thanks for a spot on and very funny post about these cafes.

Once you suss crypto a whole world of dodginess awaits. 😄

So much darkness on the dark web. Literally the world becomes your oyster and you’ll never phone some dodgy number some mate gave you again. 😊

Woops deleted part of my comment earlier - was just saying that: you really made me laugh, this was pretty much spot on, particularly the bleak description of these places. We def need much classier establishments (but I guess what else are they to do, operating on the fringes, testing waters? Still, they could use a lot more imagination). The weed wasn't that bad though, but for sure overpriced. A bit above ropey old Stardawg, but I would only go when I couldn't get better.

The two I went to both got raided eventually, luckily I wasn't there ;)

The pattern seems to be that they spring up. Stick around long enough for the cops to gather enough evidence to convict convincingly then get raided.

People probably go to jail.

Seems fucking stupid all round to me.

But then I’m all about stealth. I’ll not go to a 420 meetup in a park or anything.

I’m just a normal. Seemingly respectable kinda bloke. Who happens to smoke a bit of nice weed on the sly. Not many know I do it. Maybe my postman. 😂

Thanks you make some great points. I didn’t expect such depth;)

Wanted to check the place out if it existed. I buy great stuff from this website so I doubt I would buy in London, but just seeing it in the U.K. would be an experience;)

I’m stoned and bored. Sorry. 😃

In all seriousness. I love the idea of it. Fuck the police. It’s a plant. Fucking stupid. Obvs. Let’s get together and smoke it. Who gives a crap.

Speakeasy coffeshops literally just seem like the very definition of a trap house to me. If they wanna fuck with you for whatever political agenda. They’ll make an example of you if you get busted in one.

In London? Perhaps not so much. Do they care? Depends who the cafe is linked to further up the food chain. If it’s some small-time hipster. More than likely the cops will let it slide. Keep an eye on it. But let it slide. If it’s not that. And it’s related in any way to organised crime. They will know about it. Be watching it and collecting evidence.

Economical places to trap informants. They get a lot of potentials with a very small net.

Literally all you have to do is watch The Wire to know how it all goes.

Because middle-England boomers are sadly still in charge in the Police force. And (most, not all) boomers. All they know is the brainwashing they’ve received from the war on drugs. Hell. Most of them still think you’ll get 6 months in prison for a roach, like you used to in the 60s. Silly cunts.

Even the police think that cannabis being illegal is ridiculous. Shame their bosses don’t.

It’s only a matter of time though. These twits won’t be around forever.

So until they are all dead and gone. Or retired. Or guillotined.

Weed is gonna stay illegal in this country sadly.

I’ve been to quite a few in London over the years. It’s been a while since my last one though. Prices are always gonna be a little more because of the rent etc. However, they’re very easy to find using google and the obvious social apps.

I use to think it was clearer the better but I've had some extra dark gooey Bhang carts straight from cali and they lasted a lifttime and they were super potent.

Has anyone here tried Delta 8 before?

Delta 8 is clear but I have not tried it. You can buy it legally in the U.K.

I am thinking the golden delta 9 has a larger variety of cannabinoids as opposed to the clearer delta 9. Need an expert to help us;)

Delta 8 has been illegal in the UK since the 1971 Misuse Of Drugs Act…

Don’t worry , it’s an old post and i Am now better educated on the matter;)

😉👍

If by distilite you mean bog standard vape then, generally they all will be a varying degree of golden/Amber/apple or piss coloured and that's normal.

Delta 8 is clear as mentioned.

The darker, brownish carts will generally be live resin or cured live resin.

The reason why there is no clear definitive colour for all carts is due to different extraction processes, as well as different strains will produce a different colour.

Hope that helps.

Am not talking about carts. Talking about thc delta 9 distillate. The container they are in is of no consequence to the chemical makeup. Thanks for your input though;)

Yeah, my bad. Tend not to comment on threads. Never too sure if I'd be helpful or a hindrance. Lol.

No probs

I always thought the clearer, the purer it is.

I have read that the clear stuff can sometimes be delta 8. That was on Reddit so am not sure and I can’t seem to find enough factual information about it. So thought I would ask the community;)

We tested some golden distillate, it came out to 92% THC by dry weight and 96% THC of total cannabinoids present. There was some CBD and CBN present. No terpenes. It was tested conventionally on a dab rig and the tester was left red faced and incapacitated, it seemed potent enough.

To get it clear and closer to 100% it would take, triple the production process at least, which would increase the price and decrease availability. In its golden state, it's good enough for most use cases like, vaping, cooking, dabbing which, would question the necessity of ultra pure, clear distillate and its credibility. Hope this helps :)

Interesting as g6 extracts distillate is testing at 99.545% cannabinoids and is golden.

After further research it could be the water clear version of thc delta 9

That percentage should be for percentage of cannabinoids not for dry weight, as thc in its purest form is clear and odorless, although with today's advancement in scientific methods anything could be possible.

Jetty Extracts make a clear, solventless rosin vape cart. They won't disclose the process though.

Yeah the delta 9 was at 95% but also has 1% thcv. Which is welcome.

Sorry not 1% thcv it has 0.625% thcv.

Considering old strains use to have <0.05%, that seems more than enough, heard it's quite a potent cannabinoid, with added healing properties. Straight in my basket!

I watched a greenhouse seeds strain hunter episode and they had a Congo strain that had 1% thcv, which they said was basically unheard of .

Ultimately dab pens & carts are very different beasts. Most carts on here are distillate, which doesnt really compare to taking a dab, however there's a few live resin carts going about which are comparable.

For dab pens you only use a tiny amount at a time, then clean & reload.

The coil king AIO, is widely accepted as the best budget dab pen, however as the name suggest it uses a coil which is a bit more messy than coiless. Lighting pen is a good option if you want to go coilless.

Ok thanks, this makes me want to stick to carts. Tried a what I think was a real sauce cart recently and want to continue to replicate that experience in one form or another. I will try saynotodrugs. They have all sorts of dispensary carts;) cheers

No worries man, I'd say they are two different products. Dabs do hit harder than a cart, but there's more matience on the dab rig / vape compared with a cart.

Oh I do need to give sn2d a try! SensiMart have some nice 50/50 live resin carts at the mo, believe Drextracts also have some 100% live resin which will be closer to a dab in a cart 👌

You are right, carts don’t hit as hard. I have found a good workaround though;) you strap two or three c cell m3 ‘s together which doubles or triple your hit;) boom!

That's one way to melt your face off 🫠😂

Equally stupid is when I used the fat mouthpiece from a dyna on a cart & ran it through a bubbler. Huge clouds but my head felt like it might explode haha

Can combine 3 of the 510 vape carts on a device like this. For proper decent hits!

😲 3 really is nuts!

I use this one:

https://hamiltondevices.com/product/tombstone-battery-matte-black/

I like it because you can also pair up a pure CBD cart with a 100% live resin🤩

This looks really good!

This bit of kit lets you do both carts and dabs- screw in your 510 cart or load the atomiser with your extracts!-

https://recommendedvapesupplies.co.uk/products/ace-cup

YOUSA ALWAYS SO HELPFUL!

Divine Tribe Lightning Pen. Rice grain sized dab into the chamber.

Inhale very slowly.

Clean with a q-tip. Simples.

Not quite as portable as a cart. But you can try out some really far more interesting stuff than just distillate. Without the bulky dab rig your significant other might raise an eyebrow at, plonked in the middle of the coffee table. (Happened to a friend)

Hey Redeye jedi, hope all is well!

We make a beautiful selection of edibles with our Shatter we have to offer. We currently have 100mg Brownies, 150mg Cookies and 125mg and 250mg Gummies. The Gummies come in Blackcurrant and Black Cherry at the moment!

We've also got some lower dose, 25mg a piece skull gummies which for some people who are more sensitive to edibles, really seem to do the trick. These come in Strawberry flavour, will upload them in a day or so. New pictures of all the gummies will be going up soon.

SOTL

Got me eyes on your shatter:)

It depends a lot on your tolerance- particularly with edibles. Also advertised mg per sweet numbers can be hit and miss to say the least. As always good quality ingredients lead to quality outcomes and I’ve always enjoyed Bald Eagle Bakery products.

One of the nicest highs I ever get from edibles is Pistach’s Stoney’s Chocolooney bars and they last me for ages😍👍

I’ll second the Stoney’s bars, they really pack a punch. I’m not usually a big fan of edibles but they changed my mind. Decent price too.

Hi Polly, any chance you could link Bald Eagle Bakery? I can’t seem to find them since the .com move.

No worries buddy:

https://littlebiggy.com/viewSubject/p/4818234

Hey Redeye we have all of the above in stock apart from Shatter at the moment all top drawer and decent prices.
In regards to best value edibles why dont you DM your address we will send you a pack of something your choice so you can make your own mind up on how good our edibles are rather than us going on about them ;)

Much Love

D I

Thanks I really appreciate the offer but I have been taking 500mg decarbed shatter at night for a fantastic sleep. So not sure if your edibles would touch me at the moment anyway. Will take a long overdue t break soon :) thanks again

500 mg. I'm surprised you even wake up. I am a total lightweight 🙃 25mg for me

With my current tolerance I wake up feeling great. I only do it if I haven’t got work the next day. T break soon

At one point i was taking 1000mg capsules just to get to sleep, it was pretty awful towards the end. Always stomach cramps in the morning, with a fog over me for 4 or so hours after I woke up. This was a gradual increase over a year.

I had to knock it on the head, I had real with drawl symptoms for 72 hours. Hardly any sleep ( i got out of bed and did work, rather than stare into the dark), I would absolutely recommend a T break.

I'm back to a good nights sleep after 50mg.

I will try to get there. I just had to up my usage recently for withdrawal from another drug. So hopefully soon I can reevaluate how much cannabis I use

Hey not a problem jedi we understand ;)

Stay Blessed

D I

RSO or Rosin Edibles I have found the best effects.

Most bang for buck would probably be making your own with shake / trim as this will likely contain more cannabinoids than the equivalent price amount of concentrates.

Very good Trim. Normally has 7g+ of buds minimum.

I have 1000mg THC oil, made with decarbed shatter and MCT oil, ready to go into edibles, this will stand you at $45 plus the postage.

I also have 100mg thc (shatter) milkshake powder at $11.

100mg Thc Candied almonds for $11.

Bit expensive as a daily for me. Thanks though

I don't have much experience with edibles, but the ones that worked best for me so far have been Bald Eagle Bakerys d9+RSO rainbow belt things, and also a surprise freebie from the Great Vape Company. The shatter infused Candied Almonds absolutely knocked my socks off! A really pleasant high too! 💚✌️

Eddy has some 4 and 8g options at reasonable prices. Could drop him a message for custom order.

It’s always worth asking a vendor for a custom deal/price when you see what you like👍

Sotl is pretty good. Thanks

MJ has 5, 10, 20 deals 👀👀

"organic" should mean grown in the ground using sunlight without chemical nutrients however organic nutrient additives are always added into the soil as the soil gets depleted of nutrients after long periods of growing.
Organic bud tends to be known as stemy and leafy, however people should understand that indoor grown cannabis is technically lab grown. That being said, organic bud is a dying breed of cannabis, the art of growing naturally is kind of getting lost to the tech side of it.

Organic is like marketing label nowadays. As long as no chemicals , pesticides or other artificial chemicals used, its organic to us.

Thanks for this;) apparently aquaponics can also be considered as organic. What’s your opinion about this? Also the sunlight has many parts in the spectrum which are not used by the plant, so why does organic have to mean using natural light if photons are photons wherever they come from? Thanks

First off, aquaponics is probably the most clean way of growing as the flush is not needed and there is no nutrient build up or deficit as its easy to spot any changes, that being said though, the plants require regular feeding through soluble nutrients and unless the feed is naturally occuring minerals i wouldnt say it could be organic, secondly although there is much research on the spectrum of light used by certain plants and the lights that get made to produce those usable spectrums, nothing can replicate the sun and the entire light frequency used, regardless of what is used or not, also the quality of photons released from an led cannot compare to the intensity of a star 😂 but its speculation whether or not the the lights are up to par with what's is required by the plants.

Agreed with the aquaponics;)

Just not sure what you mean about photon quality? I thought the sun emits more photons and in a wider spectrum but a single photon emitted from a light bulb at say 5000k and a single photon emitted from the sun at 5000k wouldn’t they be identical? Thanks

Well in terms of the amount of photons falling onto leaves, yeah they would be identical .... hypothetically the amount of photons would be consistent but the energy stored within these photons would be different from the sun or a lamp... that's because the lamp or light will have to add in frequencies for uv and ir and visible light, however the sun emits the full spectrum including radiation that isn't included within the lights that we use, outdoor plants using sun have access to xrays and gamma etc however light grown plants don't have access to those frequencies... much research is still to be done on this subject of photon quality and energy stored within and the ionising effects it has on plants and whether or not its uses are advantageous to plants.

As I said it's speculation and only solid research can provide clarity on this but I would assume logically that plants have adapted to utilise as much as they need from the sun and discard what's not needed but I also feel that just because a plant doesn't use a certain frequency regularly, doesn't mean that it doesn't occasionally use these other frequencies for imbalance regulations. But again this requires much research and observations.

I would agree with most of that.

Apart from that photons are massless particles and the only energy in a photon is kinetic energy and as all photons must travel the speed of light, that means no more energy is stored in one photon than the next photon. But then I found this which contradicts what I just said so you are right;)

Do some photons have more energy than others?
The higher the frequency, the more energy the photon has. Of course, a beam of light has many photons. This means that really intense red light (lots of photons, with slightly lower energy) can carry more power to a given area than less intense blue light (fewer photons with higher energy).

There's still so much we don't know about plants, we think we know but in reality we know fuck all( speaking for all humans). Plants and trees are an insane phenomenon that we have just taken for granted, it's completely mindblowing if you can understand what these things have Done for mankind and will continue to do.

Here’s what organic means to me:

Weed (or food) grown with non synthetic nutrients. That’s really what it is by definition.

Naturally grown is something else.

I think 'organic' means the plant was grown with organic feed, soil etc but i suppose a true organic would be outdoors natural.

Organic means to me, Northern Organics weed, not tried all vendors tho.
Smoking NO weed is different.

My interpretation is just to use organic nutrients rather than mineral nutrients from the start. Including any possible mothers. Could be done outdoors under natural light or indoors, In soil, organic soil obviously or any inert medium such as clay pebbles. Of course tap water is not organic. All methods organic or otherwise can produce fantastic results!! Living soils are great. Just add water (not tap) very easy organics!

Organic or synthetic it's the same elements presented to the plant. Only difference is the delivery. I'd say it's more about how the ingredients are sourced. As for needing natural sunlight to be classed as organic???? I don't think so. I'd say if you have a hipster beard, a pair of sandals and a vegan diet you can call your weed organic

Now this is a better thread mate 🍻

you've got some real experts in here and no doubt more on way.

for me it's, literally plant it in local soil, rain water and sunlight.

the result for me would be plants that didn't do to well cos soil, sun and rain on my area. 😂

the first crop I did way back had no neutriants added other than the initial batch of growing soil.

they didn't do too well, buds weren't amazing and yield and taste was meh.

better than my street vendor still lol, and it was good knowing I grew it.

a year later, I was running a fully automated setup (bar changing nute regime)

and I kid you not was getting some chronic that put heavy smokers on their back after 1J, tasted divine and burnt pure.

As long as the nutes are decent (they ain't cheap either) and you flush really well at end + a proper cure under right conditions you will get fantastic results.


sorry I bashed your post a bit, I should've been nicer but was in mad withdrawal and lashed out for that I apologise ❤️

id recommend not pigeon holing smoke either I. e. chasing Canadian / cali etc.

some of our UK growers here, fucking kill it and give you bud on par or better 👍

ive smoked too much like you lot on here, smoked stateside, had imports, smoked loads of uk and grown my own.

each have been good, and a lot comes down to just the strain and the love and care that went into the grow.

No worries;)
I got some of pistachs blue zushi on the way as well as pink piscasso from CI;)

Local soil could mean soil from anywhere anyone is local. So IMO any soil or combination of soil that has a soil food web and no petrochemicals should be ok;) I think.

Where are you BB we need your knowledge;)

https://organismalbio.biosci.gatech.edu/nutrition-transport-and-homeostasis/acquisition-of-nutrients-in-plants/

Imo this is how organic weed absorbs nutrients ;)

It's an intresting emotive subject for sure.

My take is soil is the broken down material of life which contains the left overs of that particular area. This in its self causes soil to contain different nutrition materials. A pine forest soil would be different to a heathland soil in its make up and nutrients. So this in itself dictates what plant will grow there due to soil conditions.

So if you grow plants, you need to mix the right type of soil to get the right conditions for that plant to grow. So in mixing the soil you've already lost the 'true' essence of organic soil in the mixing to achieve the desired 'organic' mixture. You've change the natural organic ingredients already!

So taking that a step further, roots work two ways one to stabilise the plant the other to feed the plant. These roots spread in the search for water which contains leeched nutrients from the surrounding soil. They don't take feed from the 'soil' they take nutrients from the water in the soil. The water contains the leeched nutrients the plant needs which you've already mixed from your 'organic' soil.

So it's the plants taking the nutrient rich water from within the soil, so how is that different from hydroponics where the plant grows in water that contains the required nutrients for that plant to thrive....

Have you looked into "Korean natural farming"?

Nature has everything the plant needs, and more. "Organic" soil, along with your organic amendments, contain billions of healthy fungi and bacteria that the plants can use. It also contains bacteria and fungi that the plant doesn't need, however, the plant only uptakes what ever nutrients it requires at that time. All of the healthy bacteria and fungi are killed when synthetic nutrients are added to the soil, so your plant relies on the new chemicals that have replaced the natural biology in the soil.

This is the reason many people say it's hard to over fertilise or burn your plants when using organics, as the plant only uptakes what it requires.

Soil has been left alone for billions of years without humans adding chemicals to it. Nature has progressed over billions of years and has more experience than all of us combined. Look at the size of some trees in nature which have grown huge without anything added to them.

For me, organic is most things that are natural or derived from nature, like living soil. It doesn't involve synthetic chemicals or man made nutrients.

TL:DR Nature is awesome.

My take is that organic is when there is a soil food web, which imo means you can add guano, worm castings etc and there are symbiotic relationships between the fungus and roots. Also when the plant produces the chelates to absorb what it chooses.

The process of decomposition and adding the right amount of nutritionally correct materials for the plant to thrive once its been broken down to a liquid state the plant can absorb via its roots and the process that involves with charge ions for its needs.

So you believe organic can only exist in soil?

How do you go about checking on the mycorrhizae occuring to your required levels for example?

Organic as stated to me means non petroleum/ oil based manipulation of the growing environment. Be that avacados/ worm casings/ singing or cuddles but non synthetic based

Excellent point! As aquaponics can be considered as organic;)

You don’t need to check because if conditions are right the mycorrhizal fungus will thrive, as will the soil bacteria;) as long as they are present in the first place.

When we were at school it was literally some gold wrapping on the hash, we also got red seal.

Exactly what i was going to say, it was the colour of the wrapping. The gold seal was kinda yellow and the red seal was red. Just coloured stickytape wrapped around each bar basically.

Pretty sure it was mostly squidgy black?

Not sure if it means something else these days but that's what it was in the 90s if my memory is correct.

Cheers. BB

Yeah it was squidgy black back then and i saw the red seal with red cellophane. But I used to also get gold seal with actual gold colour on the hash which was also smoked

Cellophane is the right word. Yes.

Maybe I'm misremembering the gold seal? Getting old. 😂

Cheers BB 🍻

Yep, I remember the gold seal on the hash from the mid 70's. Only saw a hint of it on your 1/8, unless you bought a large chunk and saw most of the stamp. And yep, squidgy black it was. Its something i'd try again if it could be sourced, but can't imagine it will be the same as was. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing :-)

Yes it was all squidgy....man we are old!

Some of Hashishins hash has the gold on the actual hash maybe I can ask him;)

Red seal had the red wrapping but I used to buy gold seal and it had a gold colour on the actual hash.

I remember some gold seal back in early 90's that had flecks of gold on surface. Was amazing 🤯😵

Your are right, thinking about it the gold seal was painted on, is was all very good quality

Gold wrapping, 2p and 1p weighing with no digital scales. The good ol' days!

Don’t forget the half penny for the tinth;)

I remember a gold left star stamped on them too. I also remember red seal and golf ball black look like it had a golf ball rolled across it.

I never saw a piece big enough to see the pattern but used to have a sixteenth with one side gold colour on it

This is about the same stamp as was available here. minus the english writings. original Mazar-I-Sharif.

Oooh that looks nice. Gimme gimme, i'd give that a go.

The teenth! My first teenth was gold seal :)

We got golf ball hash which were about the size of one, calculator was another squidgy I remember, no idea it was called that!

Do you mean gold ball or golf ball?

Golf ball, it even had the indentations to mimic the real thing!

Yes, a other squidgy one from memory.

Golf ball.

Sounds like you had some good access back in the day;) I never saw a golf ball. Just nine bars of red seal;)

Yeah I got to see a lot of stuff back in the day. 😁

id forgotten about golf ball. Not seen any since the 90s ...

Nah dude, it was red seal but gold stamp. Probably just made from the jizz of a panda

Back in the late 80's early 90's it was just the plastic wrapping on squidgy black hash. This hash was not always superb quality and sometimes was polluted with all sorts of shit but if you got the good stuff it was lovely. Then came the gold stamped hashes from Afghanistan I think - Lucky Strike logo was a common one and it was always amazing quality - the logo was done in gold paint onto the hash and it looked cool as a bit like gold leaf. It was black on the surface but inside was lighter with a yellow or green tint and tasted amazing with a proper strong high.

What is the gold though? Can’t be real gold;)

Hi! I also remember up until the early 2000's a very high quality afghani black hash with gold stamp pressed onto the hash itself. we used to treat the golden stamped part of the hash as a bit special because of it's shiny top :-) considering the era I don't think gold food coloring was available in the remote places where the hash was made and though I was never present in a gold stamping of hash bars my best guess will be that the stamps where made of real edible gold leaves which are quite common especially in India are are fairly cheap. as I've mentioned above the gold stamped black hash that used to arrive here was of high quality, so it's not unreasonable to spend one gold leaf to press on it to give it a prestigious appearance. one crucial evident (imo) for it to probably be real edible gold is that it burnt perfectly clean with no residue as much as I can recall and no nasty smells or harsh taste to it. it was actually a bit of a fashion not long ago using gold edible leaves as rolling papers for special joints/blunts, cute. thank you for posting this subject! fun time remembering...

love really informative posts like this,
and agree it was as fun reading, as you had remembering lol

That’s really interesting, I never expected it to be real gold. Thanks!

gold leaf is pretty cheap you know - 100 sheets for five quid - its because you can get it very very thin. See google

I kind of assumed it was probably spray paint and a stencil bug hopefully it was more artisanal and less toxic! 🤣

We used to get red seal that was wrapped in red cellophane like a quality street wrapper.

That's what i remember it reminds me of the wrapping that use to be wrapped round the old glass bottles of Lucozade back in the day
