Laughable viewpoint.
Shatter has been around for 200+ years lol
I sometimes have shatter beer, makes a right mess of your kecks.
Legalisation has turned the industry through innovation. Making concentrate products without use of harmful chemicals .. so Legalisation is the key factor here !
Fake news
Amazing how selfish people are. You live in your home and next door to you is some prat with a bomb. This is why i hate the idea of livign in an apartment bloack.
LMFAO at this bs fear-mongering piece from journalists who have zero clue what they are talking about.
“Shatter” has existed for nearly 20 years now and there is absolutely nothing dangerous about its consumption. Legal production of cannabis extracts is also nothing new. All legal and done by legit companies in the US.
“BuT mAkInG iT iS dAnGeRoUs”. So is the production of literally every single pharmaceutical compound in the world of modern medicine also happen to use volatile solvents for extractions. “Ban paracetamol!” /s
Which brings me to my final (rhetorical) question… You dunces in the UK haven’t legalized cannabis yet? Lmfao. 😂
"No coppers on these backstreets"… there will be now lads 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol..amateurs …
Globally, 10 million people per year die from alcohol and tobacco.
WOW !!! Absolutely sensationalist garbage from the government mouthpiece media. What a one sided piece journalism should be ashamed
Shatter is nice
don’t open blast indoors, guys
Deadly?
Kin nonsense.
Should be done in a very well vented room or better yet outdoors man… your putting all that gas into your house and it doesn’t take much to blow it
Regulation is the only way forward now Criminal markets are having to compete with imports from legalised nations. this should have been resolved years ago and we bury our heads further in the sand….. A Uni student recently told me she estimated 70% of students on a night out were using cocaine…. The war on drugs failed a long time ago
"Deadly" 😂😂😂😂 Be honest . Production by dumbasses is dangerous .
BS
Got loads of ot here 😂😂😂😂🎉
Just make live rosin nice and safe. Taste is also better
Shatter has been about for donkeys years.. only issue is clowns doing in indoors with little ventilation..
Any common sense tells you not to have a room full of butane gas
This is a joke because this method has been around for decades late catch on it
if it was legalized this would not happen..
The most important thing here is that people put the dangers of weed into context, weed is about as dangerous as alcohol, alcohol is actually a very dangerous substance, but realistically weed does have a lot of benefits, and there will be a lot of people that would prefer to use weed instead of alcohol, weed is also easier to come out of an addiction with than alcohol. Weed is not satan lettuce, but it’s also not some magically all healing plant, it’s just a drug like any other drug, it has risks and benefits, but realistically there is no reason it shouldn’t be legal.
What a bunch of boomers
I don’t smoke but I have seen on line how shatter is made. I grow my own weed and make a tincture with it. the only added ingredient I use is alcohol. I’m not a big drinker either but do have a jug of Scotch on hand.
So not the use then the making. Everyone knows ganja MAY effect your mental health but ain’t blowing up when we blazing it 😂😂 also new breed of weed but it’s been about for years
Lmao this is ancient history
its old ffs
Sounds like the problem isn’t the shatter, it’s stupid people trying to produce it from their living room, not ventilation and no knowledge of what they should be doing.
Actor reconstruction proper hard to watch so bad acting 😂😂😂
Exploding plants 😂😂😂😂
Y’all are Stereo Typing Concentrates the same way the United States did with Cannabis Flower back in the 1930s. As a US Citizen who has been using Cannabis for 32 years I’ll give you the honest breakdown. 1. For us Cannabis Flower takes way more Product to get that Classic High which is a huge waste as Cannabis Flower is like drinking a Beer. Concentrates on the other hand a little bit goes a long way so the Veteran user will have to use far less product which will allow the substance to last longer. Or in other words Concentrates is like Drinking Shots of Hard Alcohol. But to say it’s deadly is bullshit. Cannabis whether thru Flower or Concentrates Never Killed Anyone unlike Alcohol which kills Daily… Stop With The Reafer Maddness Propaganda as No one is Falling for the Lies Anymore.
Cancer cure
The guy saying he got burnt is bollox he burnt himself from smoking a bong is he alright in the head?
Scaremongering by someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Guess anybody can be a journalist.
all of these people trying to justify it by saying alcohol this and that
24/7!!! Yo chuck us ya number 😂😂
Ignorant blokes.
Fake podcast . Do not follow this man LIES….. FACTS 💯
Deadly hahahaha more fridges causes fires than crops
This "new" trend is so old that nobody’s vaping it in legal states, anymore. I just came to laugh at the propaganda! Oh, now he’s on about the potency! 🤣 And now the butane explosions! 🤣
I’ve been smoking for over 40 years. Nobody’s falling for your propaganda, anymore!
Its fckn plant resin
Even according to official UK government statistics which clearly underestimate the numbers there are
at least three quarters of a million alcholics ( people addicted to alchohol) in England alone.
How addictive is cannabis? Hardly at all.
In the UK at least 384000 reported violent crimes are related to alchohol.
Criminality related to cannabis is ONLY because it is illegal!!! A problem CAUSED by the
law just as in the US " as Prohibition progressed, violent crime rates surged, with gang rivalries leading to infamous events such as the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre in 1929. Organized crime not only supplied illegal goods but also established deep connections with local communities and politics, leading to widespread corruption." ( EBSCO)
Idiotic ban on cannabis leds to similar stupid unnecessary consequences and keeps the police busy!
As is evidenced in this report and everywhre in the media "drug laws have been used to criminalize communities of color and minorities. Legalizing cannabis can help reduce the overpolicing of these populations." ( Bloomberg school of Public Health)
Should be legal! Free the weed! FTS!
Well when you legalize and regulate, you don’t wind up with people cooking drugs in apartments.
All messed up how y’all making weed try sound bad. Weed is amazing! Never done anything stupid apart from eat to much or start crying with laughter! When I used to drink I was locked up fighting all the time and taking coke and doing stupid stuff. Weed needs to be legal so it’s done controled and safe
Get a grip. Ban alcohol that’s the killer
WHAT YEAR IS IT ???????? LOL
