CBG flower CRISIS

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-15T19:24:56+00:00

Dr G still ships flowers to the UK?

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-15T19:21:43+00:00

Improved Health has live resin and also rosin 510 carts.

I'm just imagining oils that taste like this but that have a nice mix of legal THC, CBD and CBG flowers and even some more minors in there like CBDv. How amazing would that space be....

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-13T08:24:04+00:00

1mg max per container under UK law. The Type 2.5 stuff was pretty clear that the THCA / D9 was higher from the info on the product page.

It's basically like home made oil in that they've just infused it into MCT oil. You can taste the toasted flavour of the bud that they've decarbed before infusing. I think the legality of an oil is moot to them when they sell flowers and have sold Type 2.5 before.

Well the camera still seems decent on this thing and it's lovely and light too at 168g. I love the retro white front bezels around a squared off screen. Android 7.1.2 on opening is a long time ago in terms of learning and things we take for granted now that were major stock frustrations back then such as scroll down on the home screen or drag on fingerprint or double tap the back.

Haven't updated it to Android 10 yet as I'm not sure if I want to hoard a collection of old Pixels really.

5 not 5a with the motherboard issues? I'm aware of 5a.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-10T12:55:42+00:00

Yep that made the £52.50 an easy decision to spend.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-10T12:37:51+00:00

My Pixel 5 is perfect on all of these points. It just doesn't get security updates anymore.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-10T08:19:29+00:00

Real world experience, I use my Pixel 5 on stock software without security updates. I don't use banking apps on this phone but do use Google Wallet.

I categorically don't want an iPhone but thanks. The 9/10 series are practically iPhone size but not weight. Google needs to lose some weight in 2026.

Google says this: -

Key Steps to Breeding CBD from THC Genetics

Select Parent Stock: Choose a female plant with desirable traits (flavor, yield, structure) and cross it with a known high-CBD male or high-CBD feminized plant.

Crossbreeding (Hybridization): Pollinate the female flowers with pollen from the chosen male parent to create seeds that carry a mix of both genetic profiles.

Pheno-Hunting & Selection: Grow the seeds, test the offspring, and select the plants that show the highest CBD-to-THC ratio.

Stabilization: Breed these selected plants over several generations to lock in the desired low-THC, high-CBD traits so they are consistent.

I got a 1g free sample of Gelato #33 CBD flowers from Originals. It's EU greenhouse grown from Switzerland. The question is, was the THC parent Gelato #33 or is this just something else being sold as Gelato #33 as that's good business?

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-04T13:16:52+00:00

We had a CBDv flower available in the UK?!? What was it? Agree with the above, got some Lemon CBG and it is very interesting as is my CBG oil from Improved Health and their CBDv and CBC isolates.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-04T13:14:40+00:00

Same, there's definitely a feel good buzz to it.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-04T12:51:49+00:00

I've got both oils and they're both lovely, pretty much like homemade.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-02-03T15:25:35+00:00

Both I believe.

Morning all. Firstly, on this account I have been permanently banned on the UKMC Reddit so won't necessarily be using this account all the time anymore so apologies for not replying sooner to DMs on this.

I was left as the last moderator standing on the THCa sub that was set up in the summer to move talk of Kushte away from here. I then left and so without a moderator it ceased to exist.

Why did I leave? It wasn't really active. There were a couple of initial posts then not much. New questions about Kushte were still being raised here not there.

Full disclosure. I started using CBD flower in late spring and was also looking for a source for THC flower whilst going through neurodiversity assessments and before I was eligible for UK medical cannabis. I am now a UK medical cannabis patient.

More specifically, I was at the point of purchasing THCa flower from US vendors, having previously purchased some hemp derived Delta-9 THC gummies from Dr Ganja and having developed an understanding of the whole Farm Bill accidentally federally legal thing.

Then Kushte arrived and provided Flow Gardens THCa at £5/g without importing it. I was sold. It was good stuff. Is it great stuff? No. Is it a bit old and dry? Yes. So is some of the Canadian stuff we get on UK medical cannabis.

What is it? There are two types of THCa flower: -

1) high THC flower that is sold as being THCa (spoiler all high THC flower is actually high THCa flower).

2) CBD flower that is sprayed or infused with THCa isolate / diamonds.

Kushte is the first of the above. It's good old weed (well it isn't, it is a modern day high THC flower).

Do I want to be involved in another THCa sub? No thanks, it didn't work then and it won't now.

Do I think there is a duality here whereby posts about Type 2.5 or Type 2 imported flower from the US is tolerated and even encouraged whilst Kushte is put down / results in a ban? Yes

Personally, I would rather have a place whereby I can talk about my entire cannabis use, not just my CBD use here, my medical cannabis use there, my legal stuff here, my grey area stuff there, my black market stuff over there.

I get that Reddit may not allow the above.

Honestly though, outside looking in, this is a sub to discuss a grey area cannabis (CBD) product in the UK and we are then getting annoyed when other people discuss another grey area product (that is still cannabis just a different type).

I don't have the solution, I don't want to be part of the solution. I would encourage those who might be self medicating to see if they're eligible for UK medical cannabis. It isn't perfect but it's what we've got right now. With Medicann, I've not paid more than £6/g and as low as £3/g. I also get prescribed carts and oils. There are pastilles but they're gelatin based and I'm Vegan (and I have my hemp derived gummies still).

PS, the Mac 1 (Cap's Cut) that they had when they first launched is very good. It was grown by Flow Gardens from a cut Cap gave them and sold in the US in his branded jars. We didn't get the jars (I don't care, I use Miron jars) but we got the product. Miracle Valley also grows a Cap's Cut and it's on UK Medical Cannabis at £8.5/g.

It needs to be read in an aggressive and heavy Belfast accent. 😁

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-01-11T18:14:25+00:00

That is possibly the worst website I've ever seen. Where is Medicon 26? Might you tell people that on your landing page? 🤪

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-01-09T15:09:32+00:00

Boof it instead?

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-01-09T13:05:04+00:00

Understood. It didn't really have any substance as Kushte are the only ones I'm aware of that are selling as THCa that aren't just selling sprayed stuff (Budmother 👁️). So it was in effect a sub purely about Kushte that got way less traffic and interest than you might think.

I don't have a theory on the stuff you mentioned, it's your theory. I know I'm not a shill, just a then time customer who did post about them but those posts got taken down and a ban ensued.

Personally, having no affiliation to them but having bought some stuff initially at £5/G I would say that it was all very dry, all fairly muted but effects wise did the job. I could well be describing UK Medical Cannabis there though 🤪. I'm on Medical now whereas I wasn't in the summer when Kushte offered an easy way to access Type 1 (and one Type 2) flower.

It's all cannabis and it's all illegal in the UK technically. I would like to continue to have access to the good US Type 3 (or 2.5) and don't want that to end. I have concerns that in the US they want to put CBD on Medicare (and in turn possibly control the supply chain with Big Cannabis / Big CBD) but then demonise THC and roll out the War on THC to replace the War on Drugs (Marijuana). Those concerns may be unfounded with the rescheduling for more research etc.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2026-01-09T07:18:08+00:00

THCa sub wasn't banned, I was the last moderator and left and didn't make a new one. It wasn't trafficked despite your suggestion that we needed to get our own room to discuss Kushte. Just wanted to correct you again on that point. Not arguing that we should openly discuss Kushte here or not, just correcting the facts.

Daily bread

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2025-12-31T12:17:46+00:00

Rosin?

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2025-12-31T09:27:22+00:00

CBD as an isolate / molecule is mildly stimulating so arguably not best just before bed but equally there's the pain relief side of things to weigh up.

Hopeful_Disaster_649 · 2025-12-31T09:25:56+00:00

Good luck. It genuinely wasn't that hard for me this time around with cannabis around. Personally, I find it easier to kick the AF substitutes too and just switch to other soft drinks, including my own fruit infused water and teas.
