   Bullshit.  Or post a pic.  But I say, bullshit :)

   Nope, here 15g is 15g, same size tub, sealed with aluminium foil,   
   small buds dried and grown in Canada.  I don't look at reviews just   
   grateful for the tubs delivered to my door.  I have a card and a   
   script carry both in my wallet.

   Bullshit again, straight from online reviews.  Post a pic.  What's the   
   harm?  If I'm wrong, I'll straight up apologise and we can get on with   
   it comparing the quality and so on, but I just don't believe you mate,   
   I don't.  I smell a rat.  And I don't know why, it seems compulsive   
   with you...

   For a seasoned smoker, a number or a pipe won't do much except make   
   you stoned, more vivid music noise colours etc, better taste and a   
   body stone, but that's about it.  In truth, I'm not a big smoker   
   anymore, it's prosaic.  I'd rather have a cold beer.

   >it's ok though, calm, warm and kinda glowy, and there's some nice   
   >hypnagogia/light-shows when i close my eyes... yeah, it's relaxing...   
   >meditative/contemplative...   
      
   See this is what I mean.  Who do you think you're kidding?  It ain't   
   me bub.  That's how a first time smoker who's 16 might describe it,   
   but not a 70 year old like you.  It doesn't pass the smell test.   
   Upload a pic, no details, just a pic of a tub with the lid off from   
   the top and your nick or my nick next to it.   
      
   Prove me wrong mate...
