Here's How To Make Sure You Never Accidentally Buy Synthetic Weed

 

People are reportedly being tricked into buying “synthetic weed” — so how do you know if you’re buying the real thing?
Substances like K2 and “Spice” are sold as “synthetic weed,” but in actuality, it’s just random plant matter sprayed with a variety of man-made chemicals that can be very harmful to your health.

“Synthetic weed” vape cartridges are also on the market, but none of these products contain any real cannabinoids and some of it is being blamed for the multiple deaths across the U.S.

So how can you tell if what you bought from your dealer is the real deal? The absolutely best way to ensure you’re getting quality bud is by going to a trusted source. If you’re in a legal state, this means going to a dispensary. Also, never buy cannabis from someone you don’t know.

Most of the time, Spice and K2 don’t ever look like real weed, so knowing what cannabis is supposed to look like can help you identify the fake stuff. Make sure to check the stuff’s structure, smell and color — if the bag you get is all shake or smells like chemicals, or if it’s any other color than green or purple, the quality of what you’re buying is probably in question.
