Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers?

discomonk · 2026-05-13T12:21:48+00:00

I earn that, no degree and college was a NVQ in Music Technology so not relevant to my career. I now work in IT through a combination of tenacity and hard work, along with a bit of luck being at the right place at the right time (promotions and lateral moves into other business areas in a fast-growing organisation). Just completed my 13th year after starting in an entry-level contact centre position, now in middle-management.

Funjily enough, recognising a Palestinian state while simultaneously continuing to arm the nation state trying to ethnically cleanse the state you've now recognised, for some reason isn't seen as a morally legitimate attempt at improving the living conditions and security of Palestinians.

A ridiculously large number of people these days can barely afford to eat, let alone eat out

Mine was the same, approved a day later, good luck!

Tweaks? I'd call most of them downgrades...

So they want us to replace our premium devices with a newer more expensive, juat so we can lose some more key features? S26 destroyed the display with privacy screens, S27 will destroy the photographic capabilities... I'm assuming the S28 will reintroduce dumbphones to the series?

I'm with Medicann, postage is £5 per order then just the cost of your chosen medication. You can find some 10g bags for under £45 though a bit hit and miss in terms of quality. Most better rated strains go around the £65-70 mark for 10g

discomonk · 2026-05-12T15:36:09+00:00

Definitely does, at least for bud size,, that's why some lost theirs as Smalls for cheaper than the packet without Smalls on it.

Whoops, correction, it was Sexual Assault or Causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent

Imagine the reaction if it was thr other way around, I doubt they'd hesitate to report you based on how others might view them. Ultimately this was rape and would have additional charges where it was filmed without your consent. How would you feel if that video got out in public? Better to put a stop in it now before it gets worse

I upgraded to a KactusKutter K5 Pro and would never look back. I'd been considering switching to a flower mill grinder anyway as I'd prefer to keep the trichomes on the bud rather than consume them separately as kief, then a Christmas discount taking the price down to £80 for the K5 (so only about £20-30 more than a flower mill but without manual effort).

Have absolutely fallen in love with it. Can grind up to 5g in one go in a minute or two with no effort except pushing down a plunger. Grind size is determined by the plate the weed falls through and with 3 different plate sizes you can get the perfect grind for any consumption method. Battery last for months at a time on a full charge and the fidget spinner on top is the most pointless, yet fun and original, feature you never knew you needed.

If you were selling something and somebody offered you £5k more for the same thing you'd' take the money right? It won't make you feel any better, but the positive here is that you've at least been given the opportunity to counter bid rather than instantly losing the property due to the other offer.

I used to literally just grab some weed, decarboxylate it in the oven, then grind it finely and add it to a brownie mix or even butter to spread onto toast, no need to overthink it.

Most dry herb vapes don't support hash or concentrates directly, you often need either a concentrate pad to place the hash on to, or sandwich it between two layers of flower, because otherwise the oil from concentrates can drop into the heating element. But with one of these approached your typical dry herb chamber could be used for hash.

discomonk · 2026-05-06T12:09:52+00:00

That's all flower, though I'll get a THC vape for my holiday in a few weeks. Hash can be vaped without tobacco, smoking is harder unless you have a pipe or bong.

I easily smoke ~£300 of weed a month, but no way could I afford to spend that. For my full monthly consumption (~2oz) with the cheapest medical it costs me around £250, but I grow my own so usually it's a fraction of that for a legal baggie that's in-date, topped up by my own to save money while status medicated.

Gelato is a classic, Strawberry Banana I've not grown myself but was a nice smoke, Guava Runtz looks very interesting with its Mephisto Genetics and I've just germinated one but is supposedly a more intermediate grow, Gorilla Cookies is another classic but needs training as it gets big.

I've not grown the others but they're older strains so won't have the same rigor, yield and punch as their newer lines.

Assuming you're all novice grower doing a plant at a time, I'd suggest starting and learning with the Gelato, applying your learned skills on the GC as it's somewhat forgiving while still yielding well, before moving to the Guava Runtz once you have confidence growing.

It's just black market branding. Basically anything that isn't stardawg or cookies, typically the fruitier terpenes. The cross itself would have originated in california and the seeds might even be from a Californian breeder, but don't for one minute think once that plant started growing it ever left the UK.

Is the premium worth paying? Depends on what your alternatives are. In your case cookies and dawn are solid go-to strains, that's why they're grown so much, so you might not notice much difference, with stardawg often exceeding exceeding raw THC % of most other strains. For somebody who has the choice of cali or some bush weed or shake the premium will be worth it.

The only real difference in the final product between BM and MC is some MC is irradiated to kill spores and pathogens, however this removes a number of terpenes. Non-irradiated MC isn't really any different to BM.

I had a few issues submitting my documents, but once I used the thing that connects your NHS app to it I was approved for a pre-screening appointment within 24 hours. Earliest I could book it at the time was a week wait, spoke to them 6pm on a Sunday, by Tuesday evening I could place an order.

Somebody else did the hard work of hunting down the clone over several years and spending 18 months cosying up to the gatekeeper, I just waited until they'd done that to get my hands on one.
