Synthetic Marijuana Alternatives?

Frater Oz — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:15:09 +0000

Synthetic marijuana (aka K2, Spice, JWH-018) has been in the news again recently with new bans. It seems that as soon as a new synthetic marijuana comes on the market the government move to ban it. So the question becomes are there any alternatives for us that don't face a federal or local ban. There are lots of marijuana alternatives on the market. But which is best and which is worst? Which has some effect and which just scorches your lungs? Well the last one is hard to get away from especially when it comes to herbal blends and legal buds. We have three synthetic marijuana alternatives that LegalBudReview would like recommend. In particular order lets get started.....

NE146 Bud

NE164 Bud is newer legal bud. It has a smoother smoke than most without that "holy shit I think I just scorched a lung" feeling. The effects are up there with most of the commercial herbal soaking blends out there. Hardly any dry mouth or hangover. This is a good one to share with friends as it "promotes" some higher social aspects.

You can order NE146 Bud online by clicking right HERE. It comes in 1/2 Oz., 1/4lbs, 1/2lbs and 1lbs weights. You can also get it in a six pack with five other legal buds.

Black Widow Bud

Black Widow Bud is a hybrid legal bud that is soaked in a very potent resin. From the color and stickiness of the bud you would expect a thick and heavy aroma. But what you get is a light smell that transfers to the smoke when used through a water pipe or vaporizer. This legal bud does not go up in an instant when lit. The effects are on par with the higher quality synthetic marijuana's out there. We highly recommend you give this legal bud a try.

With the quality of these synthetic marijuana alternatives it's becoming less and less frustrating that the feds and local governments are baning the synthetic cannabinoids.

Happy Hour Herbal Incense Reviews

Frater Oz — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:18:50 +0000

A massive thanks to InPraiseOfBacchus for this awesome review of Happy Hour Herbal Incense

"Happy Hour is our new economical product for those looking for the smooth burn like Wicked X with lower out of pocket, but still a quality medium euphoric potency. It is manufactured with the highest quality of ingredients and all natural herbs. Here at HerbalMagics.com it is always Happy Hour"

Well, at least that's what the website said. I walked into my local shop and perused the various soaps and handmade sandals, and gravitated to the display case. The herbal smoking blends were arranged one a shelf, in their various "Trix Cereal"-esque packages. Orangey oranges. Lemoney lemons. They all looked good, but not all of them actually WERE good. I had been burned before, but I was broke. I asked the older, very nice hippy behind the counter "...How much for the 'Happy Hour'?" Fifteen dollars later it was mine.

When I got home I opened the container and smelled. It was very herby with a light perfume scent. Meh. A 4 at best. The product itself looked ok. There were a few stick-like pieces in the, otherwise fluffy, herb. Fluffy is really what it was. A one gram container looked like it would make 3-5 bowls. That could be a good or bad thing depending on the potency. I'd rate the appearance a 7 on a 10 point scale.

I packed a bowl. I have a typhoon pipe I enjoy using, and I was using it this time as well. The smoke was smooth on the entry. The taste wasn't bad, I'd rate it at a 6. I've had better and much worse. The smell was pleasant. Somewhat sweet and flowery. I'd give it a 7.

After 2-3 hits, I was feeling pretty mellow. No real dizziness. More like a floating feeling. Which was pretty nice. I started feeling pretty creative, so I decided to write this review. I thought about doing some other reviews on the other brands I've tried, but thought this should be the first. The effects lasted 20-25 minutes, I'd say, before a noticeably sharp drop off was felt. The effects didn't feel completely wear off until a total of 45 -50 minutes had passed. Overall, I'd give the effects of this blend a 7.5

For the price, I felt like I got my money's worth. I'd developed a tolerance to the other blends I've smoked, but I could actually get stoned in 2-3 hits. Cool.

Appearance: 7

Initial Aroma: 4

Taste: 6

Post Aroma: 7

Effects: 7.5

OVERALL: 6.3

Yeah, it was a positive experience.

Some notes for Incense users:

1. Use your incense sparingly. If you're not used to the brand you bought, or a friend is offering you some you're not familiar with, take ONE lungful, and then wait 10 minutes. This will make sure that you know EXACTLY how strong that incense blend is, and allow you to know your limits with it.

2. Don't do anything stupid. Don't buy this stuff for kids, and don't drive while using it. Those are always the two reasons the government uses to ban things...besides "Because we can" Remember: If you keep your smoke private, you'll keep your smoke legal.

3. Research and price shop. The people that make this stuff aren't stupid. If you find a CHEAP blend that works for you, use it. Once people move away from the overpriced brands, the overall price of the market will shift lower. That's one way of keeping these incense blends cheaper than the illegal alternatives.

Alright enjoy. I'll write another tomorrow.

Or Does Herbal Incense Get You High?

We've all seen the hoopla over Spice Incense and the others over the past year. Most of the press related to the herbal incense that possessed synthetic cannoboids has been on it's banning at the Federal and State level. Why is it banned? Well because it gets you high, and in America the only way to get high legally is to pay a pharmaceutical company for their goods. That and what else is the government for if not to keep us safe from ourselves. I digress....

Most herbal incense products on the market today do not get you high. That being said, we have found a few blends that do contain botanicals known for their...mind altering effects. Most of these herbal incense contain Damiana as their base ingredient and adding in other herbs like Wild Opium Lettuce and Valerian Root. Herbal incense blends that contain these herbs will produce a mild euphoric state. Nothing approaching that of lets say some chronic. But hey, if you wanted marijuana you'd get marijuana.

Of the herbal incense we've tested the following seem to posses a unique blend of herbs to produce excellent effects. Now keep in mind these herbal incense blend are designed to feel good no produce pleasant smoke. So, sometimes the drag can be a bit harsh but not overall bad.

K2 Sky Incense

A pure blend of natural herbs and botanicals formulated specifically to offer you an aromatic aroma combined with potent, relaxing sensation. Perfect for meditation and general burning around the house. The rich smoke offers a very pleasurable aroma full of yummy botanical scents.

K2 Sex Solid Incense

K2 Sex Solid Incense was introduced shortly after K2 Ultra, the K2 Sex Solid incense blend contains a proprietary mixture of ingredients designed to create a sensual aroma. So set the mood and arouse your senses with the new romantic K2 sex solid incense. K2 Sex Solid incense is one of the most unique incense blends ever produced and is currently unrestricted by any laws of any region of the world. We can also recomend this herbal incense.

*All of the herbal incense we've listed here are compliant with the Federal and State ban on synthetic cannoboids.

Legal Status of Synthetic Cannabinoids (Spice) by State

Frater Oz — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:47:23 +0000

Wondering which RC synthetic cannabinoids are illegal in your state? The answer unfortunately is most likely all of them. On the federal level most synthetic cannabinoids have already been listed as Schedule I controlled substances. Seems the government feels it is it's duty to protect us from ourselves. The five main synthetic cannabinoids are: JWH-018, JWH-073, JWH-200, CP-47,497 and cannabicyclohexanol. As these compounds are now Schedule I controlled substances, other cannabinoids of similar structure may also be deemed controlled substances under conditions where the Federal Analog Act is contravened.

Military Drug Testing For Legal Buds

Frater Oz — Mon, 30 May 2011 17:13:58 +0000

Department of Defense laboratories examine 60,000 urine samples every month. Every active duty personell must have a urinalysis at least once every year. Members of the National Guard and Ready Reserves are tested once every two years. Several protective measures are built-in to the system to guarantee exact results.

Individuals initial the label on one's own bottle. The bottles are boxed in batches, and the test administrator starts a chain-of-custody document for every batch.

Becasue the chain-of-custody document is a legal document everyone who's had something to do with that sample signs it. Be it the observer who observed the individual compile the sample, the individual who arranges it into the box or the person who takes it out of the box. There's always a written account of who those persons are.

The chain-of-custody requirement goes on in the laboratory also. People who are in contact with every sample and what precisely they do to the sample is documented.

Samples then undergo an initial immunoassay screening after they arrive at the lab. Samples that test positive for the presence of drugs undergo screening again. Lastly, the ones that are positive during two screening tests go through a much more particular gas chromatography/mass spectrographic analysis. The analysis can distinguish exact substances within the specimen.

If a specific drug is detected, but the level of the observed drug is below a certain threshold, the result is reported to the commander as negative.

Defense Department laboratories are equipt to screen for cannabis, amphetamines, cocaine, LSD, opiates (including morphine and heroin), barbiturates and PCP. However, not every sample is tested for all of the listed drugs. But, every sample does get tested for marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines, including ecstasy. Tests for other drugs are done randomly on different schedules for each lab. Some labs will test each sample for every drug.

Available substances like golden seal and lasix are regularly used as "magic pills" that can disguise drugs in urine. In point of fact, those pills can make it more likely to be busted. Those substances are diuretics, so if one were to take a pill prior to providing a urine sample all that individual is accomplishing is flushing chemicals out of the body - into the specimen cup. When it comes to diuretics the truth is drugs can often be more saturated in the urine after a service member takes one of these substances.

There are even crazier methods to disguise drug use. Some have drank vinegar. Some say they have heard of drinking bleach. None of these will trick the urinalysis.

Nonprescription cold meds and supplements may result in a screening test to give a false positive, but the secondary tests would distinguish the medicine. In that case, the commading officer receives a negative report.

How results can be used, hinges on the reason for the urinalysis.

Random Test. By regulation, every military member is tested randomly at least once a year. Reserve members must be tested once every two years, at least. The way this is accomplished is by "random testing." A commander can order that a random-selected group be tested, at any time or the entire command. The results of random testing can be used in court-martials (Under Article 1128a of the UCMJ), article 15s (nonjudicial punishment), and involuntary discharges. This includes using the results to determine type of discharge (honorable, general, or other-than-honorable). Members do not have the right to refuse random testing. However, commanders can't order specific individuals to "randomly" test. The selected must be genuinely "random."

Medical Testing. This is a test carried out in compliance with medical requirements. Urinalysis given to new recruits comes under this category. Results for medical testing can also be used in court-martials, article 15s, and involuntary discharges, to include service characterization. Members do not have a right to refuse medical testing in the military.

Probable Cause. If a commander has probable cause and believes someone is under the influence of drugs, the commander can ask for search authorization from the Installation Commander, who's cleared to issue "armed forces search warrants" after consultation with JAG. Again, results of urinalysis tests obtained through search authorizations can be used in the same manner as random screening and medical testing. Members cannot refuse to provide a sample which has been authorized by a military search warrant.

Consent. If the commander does not have probable cause, he/she can ask the service member for "consent to search." If the individual grants consent, the urinalysis results are allowed in court-martials, article 15s, and involuntary discharges to include service characterization. When this procedure is used, the service member does not have to grant consent.

Command Directed. If a member does not grant consent, and if there is not enough evidence to warrant a probable-cause search warrant, the commander can order the member to present a urine specimen anyway. But the results for a commander-directed urinalysis are not allowed during court-martial or article 15 purposes. The results MAY be used as a reason for involuntary discharge, but MAY NOT be used to determine service characterization. Put differently, the member may be discharged, only what sort of discharge he/she receives (honorable, general, other-than-honorable) depends on his/her military record (WITHOUT applying the urinalysis results).

"Legal Buds" are a safer alternative to illegal substances. Not only will legal buds avoid any potential destruction of a military career, they are legal in the civilian sector as well. Additionally, the ingredients can be so complex that testing is not yet advanced enough to detect these unique products. Legal bud products don't contain conventional ingredients that would be common enough to test for. Unlike other drugs, legal buds are available in a wide variation of molecular combinations. In simplest terms, cannabis is cannabis, vicodin is always vicodin, morphine is always morphine,codeine and so on and so on. Legal Buds, on the other hand, can be: Dro, A'hia Bud, Rasta Smoke, Panama Gold, Krypto, Bahlia Bubble Bud, Skyscaper.....and this is just naming a few. These products are not banned under any state,local or federal laws. Legal Buds are a safer alternative to smoking marijuana. That they can be purchased and distributed legally is just a bonus!

The chain-of-custody requirement goes on in the laboratory also. People who are in contact with every sample and what precisely they do to the sample is documented.

Seattle Hempfest

Frater Oz — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 00:41:07 +0000

Largest Pro-Cannabis Event On The Planet!

Seattle Hempfest is held the third weekend in August each year. The next Seattle Hempfest is August 21-22, 2010. The event hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Admission to Seattle Hempfest is free.

Below is an important message from the Seattle Hempfest. You can either donate via Hempfest.org, or participate in their new ‘Fundraising Crew’.

There is no hyperbole when one states that the now 19-year-old Seattle Hempfest is the largest pro-cannabis rally on the face of our good green earth. Over 200,000 anti-prohibitionists pour into a beautiful, mile-long park that faces Puget Sound for two days of speeches, education and music in support of ending America’s longest war–the US government’s 73-year-old war against cannabis consumers and the plant itself.

(To place this in some perspective: I grew up in a small town on Cape Cod that has a population under 6,000…to see over 200,000 citizens peacefully gather in protest annually has been truly an awesome and informative experience I encourage others to have as well.)

Over 850,000 Americans will likely be arrested this year on cannabis-related charges in America–90% for possession only. How many people will likely be arrested at the Seattle Hempfest despite massive, protest-driven and open cannabis consumption? Likely, not a single adult.

The Hempfest has helped pave the way for medical cannabis laws in Washington State, the virtual decriminalization of cannabis under one ounce in Seattle and is setting the stage once again for big changes in cannabis laws: a state-wide legalization ballot initiative, as well as legislation to both decriminalize and legalize.

What does it cost to see over 30 bands on three stages, get educated and motivated by the most active cannabis law reformers from around the world, have access to over 200 booths that sell glass and hemp products, eat great food and use cannabis without fear of arrest?

Zilch. Zip. Nothing. Nada. Free.

That’s right. No kidding. Free!

This entire massive two-day ‘protestival’ is put on entirely by volunteers–hundreds and hundreds of volunteers.

What Is Spice Incense?

Frater Oz — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 23:35:34 +0000

Questions about spice incense have been coming up lately. Spice incense isn't new to the legal bud market, but we have been seeing it more frequently on the web. We have never tried this legal bud, so where curious as to it's properties and effects too. After a bit of research on spice incense this is what we came up with.

Spice is both a brand name and a slang term for a legal bud (herbal mix) that has synthetic cannabinoids like JWH-018 added to it. There are actually many manufactures selling this product both online and in smoke shops. It seems that not all spice incense is made equal though. We have had reports of some Spice having no cannabis like effects and causing major headaches.

Spice incense contains a mix of herbs traditionally used to create relaxation and a chill sensation like that of cannabis. Herbs listed on the packaging include Canavalia maritima, Nymphaea caerulea, Scutellaria nana, Pedicularis densiflora, Leonotis leonurus, Zornia latifolia, Nelumbo nucifera and Leonurus sibiricus.

However, a German laboratory conducted test on some samples of Spice and found that the lower quality blends to be inferior and may even be harmful...

"...when the product was analysed by laboratories in Germany and elsewhere, it was found that many of the characteristic "fingerprint" molecules expected to be present from the claimed plant ingredients could not be located. There were also large amounts of synthetic tocopherol present. This suggested that the actual ingredients might not be the same as what was listed on the packet, and a German government risk assessment of the product conducted in November 2008 concluded that it was unclear what the actual plant ingredients were, where the synthetic tocopherol had come from, and whether the subjective cannabis-like effects were actually produced by any of the claimed plant ingredients or instead might possibly be caused by a synthetic cannabinoid drug."

The major plus side for users of legal buds is that spice incense does not cause the user to test positive on drug test. So like other legal buds, when you can get the quality spice you'll enjoy the cannabis like effects without worry of failing a drug test.

As we learn more about spice incense we'll report back to you!

Does Legal Bud Pass A Drug Test?

Frater Oz — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 02:36:10 +0000

Does legal bud pass a drug test? We haven't tried all the legal buds out there so we can only go on our experience. Most quality legal buds contain one or more herbs, that when smoked produce a pleasant effect. Although smoking legal buds can be compared to it's mostly illegal counterpart, they do not contain THC. THC is found in cannabis and is what drug testing is designed to detect. Since legal buds contain no THC, the likelihood of you coming up positive for THC is minimal.

Now, we can't say that you pass 100% of the time. The fact is that tests designed to detect drugs in your system are often inaccurate. The horror stories of innocent people wrongly fired or even convicted of a crime due to shabby lab work are appaling.

Many of us have jobs that require drug testing. That is the reason why most of us turn to legal buds. The legal buds below of all been used by us while also being drug tested. None of us has ever failed a drug test while enjoying legal buds.

Does legal bud pass a drug test? These buds have been safe for us....
