Some good commentary on this subject.

i miss supergrass, they were a cool brit band.

Kersal massive 🤣
I used live near Kersal

"They" took the magic out of music when the standard pitch was changed to 440hz.

This has been a long time coming.

Never liked pop particularly. Ghost written junk with no soul with the odd exception.

In short, yes! 60's, 70's and even through to the 90's we dominated and now...it's pretty much garbage, don't even listen to the radio anymore!

Culture is too atomised due to the internet, and the arts in general are increasingly more like a status game for the rich than in the 60s-90s: there are few financial incentives to be a good musician anymore and only the very biggest, well connected, and commercially safest acts can now make a living from music. Plus all the stuff in the vid cloudeater posted.

Shouldn’t need a financial incentive to be good. Not in any hobby. Your either good or your not. This is Gained by natural skills or just brute force hard work. Although that barely matters these days as per the headline of this topic rightly suggesting a low. It’s a yo yo. Electronic / new age is the current theme with low quality and high output. It will go back to guitar rock as soon as the uni students decide that is more cool

Agree if it's just a hobby. If you are going to be a professional musician full time, and are not independently wealthy already, you eventually need to make some kind of a living and pay the rent. And you probably won't get pro-level skills at an instrument/performing/production without being able to put a ton of time into it.

The only solid revenue for musicians these days is touring and merchandise. The income from single & album sales is much lower than it was thanks to mp3 & streaming platforms
Everything is so disposable these days 😪

😂

I think your intro price should have been less…just sayin’ 😉…these kind of carts need a lot of reviews to get traction…

Thank you, any feedback is welcome and appreciated. We sell locally and have been for years anyway - just trying out a new option to see how it goes!

Welcome to LB land :)
I started not long ago we got traction and doing well

Hope the same for you!

I think there are two types of buyers on here, those that understand it's not Amazon, who understand vendors take a huge risk in doing what they are doing, and that we are vulnerable to numerous issues by selling online, including BTC crashes, postal strikes, LB maintainance issues... not to mention transporting large quantities of an illegal substance just to get it into the postal system... plus the time and effort for stealth to keep customers safe.

Then there are those who have absolutely no idea what vendors go through, and assume this is one big walk in the park.

I've been here for best part of three years now (and I've seen them come and watched them go) but one thing I can say for sure is its getting more and more difficult to justify selling on here, especially as a small vendor. I'm certain there are others that feel the same.

Leaving shitty reviews because you think you deserve your premium cannabis delivered to your doorstep within 24 hours, might just be the straw that breaks yet another small vendor's back.

I'd ask the members who leave those kind of reviews to ask themselves - what they would do when vendors decide the risks aren't worth the rewards?....

Eventually it'll be zero artisan products on LB and 100% monopoly by the mass producers, and we all know that doesn't work out for anyone....ever.

So yeah, a bit more love and understanding from the usual critical subjects would be great, but I won't hold my breath.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻❤️

Well said BB, as a solo artisan vendor here doing everything by myself i fully agree this is definitely no walk in the park so I’m sending out some love to those vendors working day and night to keep people happy. Your all doing a great job and the ones that understand that will appreciate your hard work and the risks we take. ✌🏻❤️much love Eddy

Big love to you too buddy. Your products look fantastic. Keep up the good work. 👌

Take care and have a lovely Christmas. 🎄🎅

Cheers BB 😊👍🍺❤️

All the best bud👍🎅❤️🍻

Agree 100% with you brothers and sisters. We are working hard to make sure all our customers have products sent ASAP and reply to messages when we see them come through. Appreciate all the love and positive comments coming our way. ❤️😊👍

You vendors are heroes to me, always have been even the street vendors.
I'm pretty sure if you go through my buy reviews every single one is a 10 lol
Love you guys and gals out there!❤️💚✌️

🍭❤️✌🏻

Love you too BBD. Have a great new year mate and all the best 🙏❤️

I think this is a symptom of wider society. There’s so many angry, hateful individuals out there that like to moan and complain and make someone else miserable because their lives are so shitty it’s their only fun in life.
This place has been an absolute godsend to me with some top drawer vendors. I’ve been here for about 3 years or so.
And there are some genuinely good people on here, I’ve had overwhelmingly good experiences.
And it's the hard work and effort of vendors that keeps me coming back. Thanks for your service! Salute!

Well said mate.
All vendors am sure are trying to get parcels out soon as possible.
Royal mail strikes and Xmas etc dont really help with all the back logs. Patients is the key 🔑 👌.

So well said!! And I'm sure there are many of us who respect you so so much mate! I hope the minority don't spoil it for the rest ❤️❤️

🙏❤️😊

I agree with you entirely and Bulldog’s & Eddy’s comments sum up the vendor’s perspective perfectly.

Because it’s the internet we have some weirdos and it’s not worth trying to understand that small minority, (although from time to time some of them are vendors!). Some others seriously medicate and seem to struggle to cope if things go wrong or are delayed and so vent their frustrations. A few think that growing weed is a virtually zero cost game and are permanently angry at what they see as huge profiteering. Some are just permanently angry, because they are 🤷‍♂️ and as always the anonymity of the web gives them a platform to rage. It wouldn’t work on the street!

That leaves the rest of us who know just exactly how lucky we are to have this site and everything on it! I certainly feel I owe a debt of gratitude beyond a few Bitcoin. I still pinch myself to check that it’s real🥰

But as with all good things we take it for granted. Vendors sometimes don’t help themselves by offering unrealistic delivery speeds, or charging for one delivery method but using another. This ‘need for speed’ causes more problems on here than anything.

Things are also not entirely what they seem- there are less vendors and a whole lot less Biggas than it appears- it’s way too easy to set up alt accounts for nefarious purposes and that can create an environment of suspicion.

After speed, the next hot spot for trouble is comms. Good comms solves everything but again we have an expectation for immediate response. It’s weird, there is hardly an institution left that responds quickly to anything even if you are dying in the street, but we expect it from our order of illegal drugs 🫣. But in my experience good vendors maintain good comms.

It would help if the Borgs actually talked to us more imo. There are some silly and frustrating aspects to the functioning of this site that we all know could be improved but despite huge efforts we can’t seem to effect change.

Quality, range, accuracy, stealth, even price are a lot less contentious it seems than speed and comms. And so they should be- check out the other genuine clear net sites in the UK and see what a limited range and huge prices are on offer!

LB is Great, and most of us know it. Long Live LB! 💥🥳😻

Well said PP. Agree 💯

Cheers BB 🙏👍🍻❤️

Hi ive been using the site for about 6 months and it is amazing, only downside so far has been the comms, been waiting 2 weeks for replies from 2 vendors, only instant response ive had has been when I raised a dispute after nearly 3 weeks with no comms, ive had amazing stuff on here and alot of great vendors that I will keep buying from but think it has to go both ways, hope everyone has a great Xmas and New year

Reckon it's dying but I've been using it a long time and often, and am seeing what's happening. Chasing a load of lost money as we speak.

Preach Polly, well said ☺️

When stoners don't get their weed, they can sometimes act irrationally. Strikes are a subjective issue and this can further inflame things. More love, less hate, and more importantly, less virtue signalling during this stressful time. Currently under a blanket in the dark, shaking.

Agreed, as a fairly new bigga with the kid in a sweet shop feeling still fresh, I was taken aback by the amount of seemingly petty mark Downs. Yes, if everybody got a 10 for simply successfully delivering weed in the post, the review scores would be pointless, but there has to be some consideration for the vendors.
Quite frankly, it's unbelievable that so many do take the risk, bur that is great for the buyer.
This is an Alladin's cave for the stoner so having unrealistic expectations akin to some secret society is delusional.
Big love to the good vendors, true of heart...please keep goin.

🙏❤️

was reading reviews yesterday, one bigga got a full refund then left vendor a 5/10, saying it never arrived.
I got a full refund recently too, i'll just leave the review till it expires, that or give the vendor a 10.
Full refund can't be sniffed at.
I don't see much hate tho, perhaps just not enough LOVE!🤩💚❤️

I saw this post a few weeks ago and forgot to pin it, of course I wanted to add and reiterate comments made on the tread.

Before all that I just have one statement for all the haters that jump the gun by posting unjust posts on the topic's board

YOU ARE NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON ON LB

You get what you give.

I have had numerous conversions in DM's with bigga's on this issue and they venders and people that have commented are right on the money as per. Tho I do find it strange that after all the posts on the topics board, calling out venders! Not one person has been negative on this thread????? If you take the time to call venders out at least have the time to give your point of view on posts like this.

Before I rant on first things first venders we salute you. I still can't believe the service and quality on offer here and the fact I only have to press buttons and only get up off ma ass to collect my illegal drugs from the postman.

Most of what I would add is been said but A few things that I do want to add and this ties into previous comments.

What the actual fuck is peoples expectations before they order? Do they read the manifesto? Do they do the leg work and check reviews (That's another story) Do they check when they where last on line?

Now no one is perfect of course and I did get caught being a bit moany when I started using the site. As the first vender I used comms where within the hour.
Another vender a day.

I ordered 24 hour signed for with the expectation of having it the next day like special delivery. When it never came I DM'd them and they expanded the process. I felt like a pure nob and apologised for my impatience.

I have had a vender send special delivery's late so again had to wait another day. Was I happy no but shit happens (It's always at the stage where your licking your grinder like a bulldog eating beetroot) The vender apologised. Gave a reasonable explanation. We both went on our way.

So a few points that I would add and this might be a crazy idea and a bit out there but bare with me and just imagine that venders have other stuff out with LB. I'm just guessing but any venders correct me if I'm wrong

Family's and all that comes with that
Work that is not illegal
Bit coin. I'm fucking raging when my £1.25 in BC has dropped to £1.20. I could not deal with the stress of all that jazz
Illness
Walking the fucking dog
And the best of all that has been stated but need said again the fucking FEDS they are putting themself's at a massive risk by doing what they are doing, actually not just themselves but the impact that could have on there family, future employment as they can't sell fucking weed!!!!

I think I've made that point, more so with the one man band venders. I can just imagine it the now. A vender is sick and can't get to his order's or has to deal with an emergency what ever that my be!

Hi is this Indeed ?
Yes how can I help?
Looking for someone pronto to help with my manufacturing business.
What would be involved?
Replying to messages and packing
What are they packing?
My kick ass weed to cunts all over the shop

Naw of course they can't

So before ordering as stated what are peoples expectations of Comms? 30 sec 3 hours 3 days

Dr Extracts has a good line in his manifesto stating that he will reply to comms at 09:00 each day. I'm not saying everyone should do that of course but what it does do is manage peoples expectations. (I'm going to hazard a guess that he might have other commitments, like work)

I have learned that of course different venders have different comms habits and that only comes with using the venders.

A bit of advice I was given early on by polly and reiterated lately by Mr Rabb1t. DM the vender before you order anything just to test the waters with the comms.

In regards to the posts on the topic's page. As we all know there are no date stamps on the post's. So the post could and does keep popping up on the feed? Is that fair if it has been resolved. I'm not sure if you can get it removed?

The vast majority of negative posts has no context
Comms are shit? explain then. Are we talking minutes, hours, days
Gear was shit? How was it shit? 1000 reviews and you think it's shit that's fine but is that not your opinion not fact as it's very subjective. Again not my words but is it "As described "

I will back any bigga to the hilt if they have been wronged and of course they should be highlighted to the community BUT with context please. So people can make there own judgement.

Just under a year now and lately I have seen people on treads asking for updates as and if it has been resolved. Which I think should be a given.

In this time, not once have I seen a retraction or an apology posted when a positive resolution has been agreed? I find that rather strange

Long live LB and the kick ass venders fuck the haters and ignore the posts. Unless justified of course but with context please and updates.

Top words spoken in the true Daz style. 😻

An example:
“It's always at the stage where your licking your grinder like a bulldog eating beetroot”….😂😳😂

Well said Dazz 🙏❤️

Thanks, Ninja7227 !

i was just going to go back under my blanket when i read this ;) thank you bigga, we have a lot to be grateful for, basically a world none of us could have imagined just a few years ago. i can't imagine it's easy for anyone involved but attitude makes all the difference when things get tough.

Great topic and so many amazing comments. I’ve been meaning to comment a while now. I joined in the summer and found out FAST the hate is very real indeed.

It’s so difficult to navigate from normal buyer acc to alt acc, spam, trolls etc etc

I am learning fast but doing your best every day for your customers to get random abusive messages and 1/10 reviews is a tad soul destroying.

Only two days ago I received an order for almost 2oz of my new strains, so as always I done my due diligence and the buyer is 2 years on LB with over 100 buys.

I clicked sent and started to pack the order with love to go to the post office straight after with the rest of today’s orders as it came in just before 2pm cut off.

So about 5pm that day I get a message from the buyer saying I really hope this isn’t old mouldy bush weed I’ve ordered or I won’t be happy.

I was blown away as surely if you were sceptical about a new vendor first of all why order so much first then message that, rather than reach out to me first or even order a 3.5 to sample the quality of cannabis.

Safely to say it arrived today and I got a message saying this is the worst weed I’ve had on LB in months and there giving up on the site. I am lost for words honestly…

However I’ve had some great help and advice from some top Biggaz “You know who you are” and now understand it’s just part and parcel of this beautiful platform.

If I am not packing, replying to messages or at the post office then I’m trying to source more amazing strains for my customers.

LB changed my life and I won’t let any of my customers down ever! It’s a buzz sending orders out and then getting lovely messages and reviews it truly makes it all worth while.

The love outweighs the negatives so it’s still a joy and such a positive experience for myself.

All the best over the holidays and in the new year. This community is amazing and a real eye opener.

Here’s to the future my friends, long live LB 🙏❤️

You guys have 100% the right attitude for LB….hopefully your rogue buyer genuinely did fuck off - and good riddance to them 👍😉

Thank you Polly we move forward stronger together 🙏❤️

All the best for the new year 🥳

Hehe ..with a GH Prize Hamper on the way how could my NY be anything but 😶‍🌫️🔥😶‍🌫️?…..have a great one guys! 🥳🥂

You sure do! Will be with you real soon my friend! All the best 🥳🍻

unfortunately people think that here sellers must necessarily profit/cheating/earn more than the right etc without realizing that they are simply people who sell their product (often with lots of love) and do not force anyone to buy anything

sometimes there are misunderstandings and this can inflame things especially when buyer and seller are at their first ‘exchange’
But comms have the power to sedate any problem.

I’m still surprised that profiles like BB and Reald are now restricted..
they should be considered heritage of humanity.

we hope that in time all the assholes go elsewhere and only remain who loves little Biggy and loves the sellers who work on here.

Peace ☮️❤️

25+ buys @ $959 average.

Flower, shake, hash and edibles.

I’ve only been let down by one vendor (Hootan)in 2 years. I could argue that one other tried it on, but he did put it right, so one fail in 2 years it is.

Better vendors experience overall then than Amazon, eBay, Tesco even.

As for the LB platform, lack of date and timing of threads, reviews etc is a little frustrating, but it’s churlish to expect any more of the site, considering the context.

Let’s not end up (can you imagine?!) in a “..don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone..” scenario.

Meanwhile, if you can’t be without, order in good time.

And remember- venting, ranting, dissing and shit-stirring just leaves a bad taste.. for you, for the vendor and for the reader.

❤️✌🏻🍭

I started using this site in October. I've been noticing a huge increase in complaints as well which is mad to me because I have had no problem what so ever. Vendors have been communicative, delivered stealth, and great products.

It is our duty as the customer to be aware of the strikes, that things won't go perfectly, and to responsibly stock up on product if dependent on it.

i can say love genetic hub! lightening fast delivery .they have easy earnt my respect . outstanding smoke amazing flower! and 20 hours to arive! blessed

I always got you my friend thanks for your honest and kind comment ❤️

Happy new year and all the best for 2023 🥳

You are wise to question it, and personally I do avoid most cheap carts. That said, you can take confidence in some very highly reviewed and long term carts available on LB. Dr. Extracts would be a very good example with over 3,000 reviews!

If you want Lab figures then a way to go is to pay more for top shelf brands. G6 Extracts provide all the numbers. If you buy brands from the US via SN2D they are highly regulated and tested and come with Lab data.

All good products👍

Thanks Polly. Yeah round my way in South UK lots of those 1010 boys vapes floating about which just taste off.

I’m going to give doctor extracts a try and see how I get on.

More suggestions welcome!

I would strongly suggest looking into dry herb vaporizers. Same old trustworthy flower, without the ill health effects of smoking. Look at the Mighty for an endgame vaporizer experience. There is a slight adjustment period for some people, but once you get there it's just as satisfying as a smoke. I love carts too, but you can never be sure. Dry herb vaping is optimal imo.

My issue is that when I had a mighty I would always turn the heat up and then basically end up smoking. Because I have no will power and I love weed.

That's still a million times better than smoking! The mighty only goes up to 210c. I think combustion only occurs around 230c and higher. I would always advocate for doing your own research but for me it is the far healthier choice, even at max temp.

True, but you shouldn’t consider carts as a “lightweight” option. Some of these demons are nearly 100% THC and although I use a high end battery with low voltage options they hit a darn sight harder than my Mighty. Nothing makes me cough more than carts 😖
What they offer over dry herb vaping for me is stealth and convenience…the Mighty is a bit of a stand out down the pub😉

Hi, the distillate Candian Imports use has been tested, not sure what percentage of Terpenes they use though?

People are sheep, XMR is privacy based, what we are buying is illegal (in most places) so it would seem obvious to use xmr

but btc was the first coin and now the biggest

People follow crowds etc

the more research i do on monero the more its everything people told me bitcoin was! Cheap, fast, secure and ACTUALLY anonoymous. How do we get monero on here?

Yeah it pretty much better in every way, It would make LB a lot more secure

i agree xmr is a more secure option
it is at the end of the day deemed as a privacy coin

the only trouble i feel with this process is that customers may find difficulty creating theyre first transaction

as syncing the wallet can take upto a week using a regular hdd and a local node

this must be done, as without syncing the wallet no payments can be made

this is the issue i had when setting up and using xmr, my coins where basically stuck for a week while my getmonero gui synced

I would be open to monero as a payment option

Bitcoin is to mainstream now,

What happens when they audit the Bitcoin block chain. Which they probably will at some point...

People are going to have big problems

Works for sellers but buyers will have a hard time exchanging into it.

I agree it does make more hassle for the buyer, but if you kept the btc payment system as well at leastpeople would have the choice

Think it's about time for a change to avoid future problems

yeah no brainer for obvious reasons.

I think we should use XRP? :D

Aren't they being investigated by the SEC for fraud.

I am but how do we change?

I guess hopefully some body from the LB staff sees this and might work on making it happen, I can't really think of another way we could make it happen

More secure probably not, harder to trace maybe. But the dept for homeland security has had tools to trace it since Aug 2000.

they are truly amazing. not only is that before monero was invented it's before the department was established.

It's a typo, should be 2020.

;)

They’ve not cracked it, they are able to get a general idea but not the specifics, it’s gonna be a cat n mouse. OxMR has the new zsnark tech and maybe it’s the next gen

No !!!!, as it's getting banned. Got some xmr on Binance and can't fucking withdraw it.

Brilliant, whenever something gets banned the price goes up

Greenfinger has a bit of a promising breakthrough.
