Everyone Likes Buds But What About Shake?

well im bored so i just thought id make a thread about this. ive thought about this when i get my bags all the time. i know most everyone will say they would rather have nice lookin nugs. i love big nugs and breaking them up is always fun. but what im here to post is that the shake is just as good and its all the best stuff that fell from the nugs. another downside to big huge nugs is that they sometimes have huge stems which can account for alot of weight.

i know some people that break all their nugs up and clean all the stems and seeds out so they can just pack up a pipe realy quick right from the bag. what does everyone else here do? i usually save the nugs as long as i can by smoking the shake and the small nugs first. im not sure if its a real big difference or not but it seems to me that alot of the crystals would be in the shake. wouldnt that make the shake more potent since its whats been shook off the buds?
i know some people really dont like shake in the bottom but ive never really had a problem with it.
would you really hate buying a bag of all shake if thats all you could get?

 

if i get shake i jump the person who sold it to me. Around here shake means dried, ground up plant leaves and kids do try to pass it off as bud.Random people have tried to sell me this bullshit 3 times so far just to try to make like $10. so yeah i would rather get nothing then shake. when i get a personal bag i always break off all the stems and take them out, but i dont bust up the nugs until i smoke

 

well i always keep my bud in this case so when i break it up little bits always fall off so when it builds up enough i throw it in the gravity
it provides a nice high for just a couple of hits

 

usually take the stems out immediately,,, they tend to poke thru bags n such leavin lil air holes to dry my stuff out.. then i ration it out into week long portions and grind it up ... saves time when we need it no pickin junk out or seed bits etc

 

It really depends where the shake came from. If its shake from well groomed nice nugs then its prolly going to be about as potent as the nugs them self but if its shake from poorly prepared nugs its usually just alot of leaf and such that tends to not be as potent. Allthough Im not gonna lie the guy I get from every know and again will be left with good amounts of shake and he will sell it off really cheaply. Next time he offers I will prolly buy some and make some hash oil. Usually if its around I can get a half oz of shake from dank stuff for $65 which isnt a bad price to take a stab at making some hash oil.

 

sometimes a bag of shake is all you get in ga lol. You dont know how many times i've been sold shake. weed here is crap. But its funny because sometimes i get buddy bags and i'm like damn the shake i had got me high as hell and this stuff is okay....... so i know what u mean shake is okay. I think we all just like see that nice big buddy weed

 

I dunno If'd I like a big bag of shake haha it just can't see it smoking very well.

but for sure when I get a bag I usually do it opposite as you, I smoke the big nugs and save the little ones and the shake for the last bowl. I don't just get rid of it, it's still good!

 

depends on what strain the shake is from. my friends dad had the best shake i ever had, it was the last of a couple pounds of white russian, and after all the shake collected at the bottom (like an oz or 2) he sold it hella cheap, like 1/4 a ziplock for $15. we would roll like 7 blunts out of it and.. wow...goood shit. actually the best shit i could get for the price --

 

if i have shake from my own nugz leftover i like to use it as joint filler when my dank is really sticky icky & wet....knowin the shake is kill makes for a nice firestarter

 

shake is stuff that falls of the buds, so if buds were good, so will the shake be.

 

yea i didnt mean shake from leaves you can usually tel if its from that kinda. i ment like the shake from the dealer when hes near the end of his batch. sometimes thats all you can get if hes running low and needs to reup. and like someone else said if the bud was pretty decent then the shake should be aswell. i know i dont mind getting shake i like to think of it as buds that broke themselves up lol.

 

I work on the smallest nugs first then the big nugs, and then the shake.

 

i dont mind shake from my own big bag, but i would never buy it

 

haha. If I ever have stuff with shake(Hardly ever) I smoke the smaller buds first, then the finally the biggest bud, then the shake.

 

I already chimed in on this but I have something to add. I generally smoke the shake last due to the fact that when I get my pot its usually in solid bud form and its only until Ive broken up all the other nugs I start getting enough shake to make it worthwhile to smoke.

 

i just sprinkle the shake over the bud and smoke it all

 

When I get my bag i usually separate the nugs up to about bowl size, then brake it up when i need it. I always brake my stuff up by hand and sort for stems and seeds, I hate grinders I think doing the hand work is part of the whole experience. Theres nothing better than smoking a jay while you roll up a few more.

 

True, you can't show off a new bag of bottoms.

 

yea it doesnt happen very often but when i get bags that are nearing the end of the dealers batch then they are shakier. i dont really like buying bags with shake but he usually does cut a little break on it. i figure if its shake from like a pound of nugs its prolly still just as potent. i do admit i love breaking up big nugs. its wierd how some people are the opposite and smoke the nugs first. i always like saving the nugs as long as i can before i have to break them up.
