As the fight for legalization of cannabis in Texas continues,
the general population is becoming more accustomed to bud, and therefore it is easier to access. Unfortunately, there exist greedy people. These people are scamming good paying customers every day, and keeping the profits all to themselves. How you ask? Terpene. Spray. Terpene spray (or terp spray for short) is basically a tasty, smokeable perfume for weed. Want your lemon haze to smell like lemons? Spray terps on it. Terpenes interact with the receptors in your nose and mouth to create what you smell and taste in weed. They also interact with the THC in bud and create a new compound, one that gives you a different high. Now, don’t get us wrong, terpene spray is by no means illegal since it has 0% THC. However, it is essential to the scammers and here’s how they get you with it. They’ll take low quality buds and put them into prepackaged bags, spritz terpene spray on them, and boom. You have shitty weed that smells like a lollipop and can sell for $150 an eighth. We don’t expect first time or inexperienced users knowing any better. The nicotine crowd has started shifting towards cannabis and with it comes the smokers looking for fruity flavors. SO. How do you spot sprayed weed? Well first compare the price and the quality of the bud. Good flower should be rather sticky from the trichome content, both on the inside and outside of the nug. It should also have great smokeablity and have a good taste. Now if the bag doesn’t smell like bud and the flowers don’t look very appealing (looks dry, not very sticky, doesn’t taste good, etc.) then it’s probably sprayed. Scammers will generally charge more for sprayed weed because it’s different and people like new things; supply and demand. When in doubt, take the nugs out of the bag and first smell the nugs and then the bag. If something has been sprayed you should smell a noticeable difference or if you really in can’t tell, dm us! Help stop this BS in Texas, keep smoking on that real za and hopefully next time you’ll know what to look for💯
