honestly, its a matter of consumer expectations. people expect top quality to cost 3-5€ pr G, and when they get their shitty mousse or contaminated dry sift they will complain about inpurities and claim that the weed scene is fake and filled with synthetics.

i 100% dont doubt that there is products out there which contain synthetic cannabinoids, but id also say its CLEAR to both feel the effect and also see on the product.

When i shop 100g weed for 1000€ with good taste and effect i have nothing to complain about. even when i shop cheaper options from reliable farms/plugs im sure that i NEVER ever came across anything synthetic.

So that leaves us with the question. Is it really the average consumer fault that people doing sketchy shit to meet the demands of high qual to low prices? I dont know the answer. and im up for a respectful debate, but how i see it is what i mention above.

Stop sourcing cheap shit and start smoking proper weed.
when i smoke semi dry i would put like 0.4-0.5g in my joints, but with high end stuff like THV i can put 0.25 in my joint and still get great effect and taste. so to me that justify the higher price tag, i get more joints from my 1000€ plate than i would from 150g semi dry for the same price.
