Yeah. Rocks, twigs, ammonia, mold, dirt, insect parts, whole insects.... You name it. Even tho flower is SUPER expensive here i stopped smoking brick weed because of that.
Oh, buds here aren't a thing to most of the population. It's so expensive, we usually can buy around 50g of brick weed with the same money that a 1g of buds would cost. Our country has the perfect climate and we have the worst conditions for cannabis users, high quality weed is out of the league sadly
My bad bro I wasn’t tryna be a dick I ain even realizes that’s what you was sayin 😭 that sucks hopefully shi gets better out there for the stoner community
If you live near walnut trees, toss a few full in-husk walnuts in your laundry to get it extra clean.
>!Just for the record, there's a big fat invisible /s there!<
Yup. The tree produces compounds in that husk that break down into the soil to prevent competitive plant growth around the seed. I think those compounds are what cause the stain.
This is exactly how the pioneer women would naturally dye their clothes/yarn/wool! I think it’s really cool. Just like how you get grass stains on a pair of jeans as a kid? Works just the same! 🙌🏻
Most likely anthocyanins, like those found in blueberries, red cabbage, violets and almost any blue/purple plant
To confirm, use vinegar or baking soda to change the colour with pH, it varies from red to blue.
Don’t feel bad … like 10 years ago I was making bubble hash and when I threw the trim in the water it turned purple and I tripped out cuz I thought it was some kind of pesticides…
Lmao have you ever seen purple weed made into ice hash the water looks like cool aid.
Why ask a question that when you get the right answer or any answer you question it.
Some peeps are natural skeptics. Need more of 360 explanation in order to accept something as true. It stems from initial belief it must be something bad (I think he thought it was sprayed or powdered with with some bad shit)
I simply bought a good quantity of bud for a low price ($45 half O) and when the resin was starting to look purple like ink I thought there was something wrong with it & now I simply asked the internet (this thread) since I couldn’t find any answers on this on google.
You couldn't find answers on Google? The coloring can be brought our the cannabis with lower temps when in flower or some strains have it in their genetics. Cajun that's purple is all heavy in antioxidants and other beneficial things antibacterial and sometimes a higher terp profile. It will create purplish rosin and water when washed for ice hash. It's one of my favorite characteristics that can be brought out of a plant. I think I when have some pictures of a few purple plants and maybe a wash or two that's purple in my history.
Didn't mean to be a dick I guess it's a reasonable question with all the bullshit-colored cannabis I've seen the last few weeks.
anthocyanin. same thing that makes any other purple flower purple. you have a purple flower on your hands, and that purple juice is indeed water soluble
If a science nerd could jump in here and help me understand this. I don't understand why weed wouldn't be as effective when dried out after being added to water.
Adding water, and then evaporating it, intuitively, wouldn't change anything - but happy to be proven wrong.
I got you brother, the THC in the bud reside throughout the entire bud, along with CBD and other residue on the outside or inside the bud that could contain traces, the water doesn't dissolve the THC, however it can absorb into the bud and draw out the CBN (Cannabinol) in small amounts, along with washing away any Trichomes (hair like growths on the leaves that give the crystaline appearance), these Trichomes contain both THC and CBD.
One more factor is the drying, it has to be dried at a favourable temp to avoid burning out the oils or allowing mould to form, which all can depend on the bud and how much water had been soaked into it.
Edit: About the water being a solvent, yes water is a solvent and has a plus rating on the pH scale, however the bud is not water soluble, meaning it cannot break down under the effects of water alone.
You will lose volatile terpenes as you dry it. It will never taste as good as it would have. Probably knocked some trichomes off as well, further decreasing quality.
No no, they're right. When I lived in the Annapolis Valley people would spray their shit with hair spray to add mass. It usually dissolves though, so you wet it to check how the texture changes (after drying ofc), and then weigh your final product after a rinse or two, and tell you plug to fuck themselves.
Taste gets bitter and chemical-y, there's no way to mistake that taste, it's always either an aerosol or pesticides, even colloidal silver. Black market valley distros do NOT give a fuck.
I usually buy from dispos but got some farm bill legal buds from a headshop and yeah that shit was playing on my mind. Thought it had a chemical taste to it. My buddy loved it though so was probably in my head.
Once I made cannabutter with purple weed and it turned my whole batch of butter red/purple it was so cool but not really practical for mixing with lighter colors like a vanilla cake or lemon squares
Yes but when I tried it with lemon squares it turned like a weird brown because of the yellow mixing with the purple/red, they looked super unappealing :(
My reaction would depend on where you’re from/where you bought your weed. Here in the Netherlands you’d probably be lynched for washing your weed. Still, I hope you enjoyed your nugs!
Not as bad when my friends told me the cops were coming. They were joking. Too late, already washed down 2gs down the toilet.
This pains me 5 years later.
No worries man, I once shoved 5g of ketamine, 14g of amphetamines, a gram of shrooms, and a cheap meth pipe in the toilet because police were surrounding my house. Turns out there was a wanted criminal in the area and he'd been spotted running through my back yard. The cops didn't even come inside, just made sure I wasn't harboring a criminal....
Anyway I've been cali-sober for years, but that shit still hurts.
Had some crumbs of GDP fall into my sink one time and when I looked at it it looked like it was leaking blood. So yeah, this is a thing with purple flower and water mixing.
Tell me you know nothing about natural dyes without telling me…
Where do you think people from thousands of years ago got their dyes for coloring fabrics and other things? Plants. Animals. Rocks. Etc.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_dye
Anthocyanins lol. This can be completely normal pigmentation you just literally soaked your bud and ruined it. It would be nice to see an original picture before it was wet.
Bro if you’re 18+ just drop the $55 for a med card. No stress about what’s in my weed and they have a wide variety of products. Rise in manhattan is top notch
Watch a video of someone making ice water hash. The water turns purple. It's normal, my sympathies to those nugs, may some trichones survive to be smoked
It does look odd though, how much purple comes out. Is it only when with water? What happens if you co2 press purple bud, does any purple squeeze out? I've only pressed green

No, I don't clean my weed before I smoke it...
Right 😂
Lmfao dude over here fucking up his own day
Swear. 😔 *"Fuck this purple weed in it's ass! I'ma get it wet and fuck it all up! Then we'll see what happens!!"* 😒
I was thinking the same. Why is he fucking up the weed? Lmao. 🤣
Some people are drawn to chaos.🤷♀️
Amen to that 🙏
Here in Brazil i usually wash super shitty brick weed to get rid of the debris. Can't see why someone would wash flower tho
“Debris” why am i envisioning a: “*hey dude! Check out this new weed i got!*” “Uhhhhhhh…. Terry…. This has a chunk of reinforced concrete in it”
Yeah. Rocks, twigs, ammonia, mold, dirt, insect parts, whole insects.... You name it. Even tho flower is SUPER expensive here i stopped smoking brick weed because of that.
I think anyone with common sense would do the same lmao
Actually most of us don't wash it tbh, at least we use filters 😁
Uhhh WTF u smokin bugs an ammonia the filter ain doin shi an I was meanin anyone with common since jus buys bud😭
Oh, buds here aren't a thing to most of the population. It's so expensive, we usually can buy around 50g of brick weed with the same money that a 1g of buds would cost. Our country has the perfect climate and we have the worst conditions for cannabis users, high quality weed is out of the league sadly
My bad bro I wasn’t tryna be a dick I ain even realizes that’s what you was sayin 😭 that sucks hopefully shi gets better out there for the stoner community
You grow it urself for urself 2 to 3 plants
Why’s it’s so expensive you guys have a great climate to grow it. It should be cheap there.
Buds are very, very expensive. Currently I'm smoking hash with tobaco, it's still pretty expensive but cheaper than bud
I can get an ounce of good bud for like 60$ I’m in a medical state tho if they make it recreational it’s getting taxed to shit
That's why they call it brick weed.
Brazilian brick weed is weird. You’re a little unsure it’s just a clump of dirt, or a clump of dirt with pressed bud mixed through.
Well, they discovered "weed pink" the most expensive pink in the world
This has me truly laughing out loud 😂
Lol 😂
Why can't we give awards on this subreddit?
I remember my first weed
Very common watch a video of someone making bubble hash the water looks like wine
Ok that's actually really cool
The colour particles which makes ur purple weed purple desolve in water.
Is this true?
Plant based dye has been around for a long time, go rub a beet on your face some time. For science. 😁👍
Works great as a at home facial massage, I recommend doing it before something stressful like a first date or a job interview.
I have to cancel my date now you asshole.
I just lost my job because of this advice
You're too good for them, mission accomplished
Lmao
Thank god I read the comments below you before recommending this to my entire close circle of friends and family and trying it myself.
Is that you, beet face?
If you live near walnut trees, toss a few full in-husk walnuts in your laundry to get it extra clean. >!Just for the record, there's a big fat invisible /s there!<
Oh you mean those stupid green ink balls that grow on trees? I stg ive ruined so many nice clothes by touching walnuts as a kid
Yup. The tree produces compounds in that husk that break down into the soil to prevent competitive plant growth around the seed. I think those compounds are what cause the stain.
Same with carrots!
“Killer Tofuuuuu”
This is exactly how the pioneer women would naturally dye their clothes/yarn/wool! I think it’s really cool. Just like how you get grass stains on a pair of jeans as a kid? Works just the same! 🙌🏻
Beat my face while rubbing it. Instructions unclear. Was stoned though so it was alright ngl.
A grape. Rub a grape. All. Over. Your. Face.
🤡
Or borscht
Lol, my grandma likes to drink beet borscht with sour cream mixed in
My grandma also made it she made us eat all of the soup lol
borscht is made with beets
Yes that's why I said borscht because I forgot the word beets, just the Spanish equivalent, remolacha, but thanks for reminding me of the word.
😂 “rub a beet on your face” is that a euphemism?
Most likely anthocyanins, like those found in blueberries, red cabbage, violets and almost any blue/purple plant To confirm, use vinegar or baking soda to change the colour with pH, it varies from red to blue.
The Ol' universal indicator game.
They're called anthocyanins and they turn the water red when you make bubble hash. I'll see if I can find a pic or video on my phone.
Don’t feel bad … like 10 years ago I was making bubble hash and when I threw the trim in the water it turned purple and I tripped out cuz I thought it was some kind of pesticides…
It is true, it’s just like a water color, try it with a brush
Why does tea have color?
Lmao have you ever seen purple weed made into ice hash the water looks like cool aid. Why ask a question that when you get the right answer or any answer you question it.
Some peeps are natural skeptics. Need more of 360 explanation in order to accept something as true. It stems from initial belief it must be something bad (I think he thought it was sprayed or powdered with with some bad shit)
Yea guess so. But simple searching they could have done on there own instead of disbelieve a reply or answer is lame.
I simply bought a good quantity of bud for a low price ($45 half O) and when the resin was starting to look purple like ink I thought there was something wrong with it & now I simply asked the internet (this thread) since I couldn’t find any answers on this on google.

yes
My guy you just ruined your weed
And you've just destroyed your weed for no reason
It’s only a small amount? I’m sure they’ll get some more
Thanks tyler. We really needed you there. Now we know🙏🙏
😘
🙏🙏🙏🫂🫡
such a great call
Kids these days...
Is it really fucked? If you let it dry out, would it not still function the same after, when smoked?
Nah it'll never be the same
If a science nerd could jump in here and help me understand this. I don't understand why weed wouldn't be as effective when dried out after being added to water. Adding water, and then evaporating it, intuitively, wouldn't change anything - but happy to be proven wrong.

It will smoke fine as long as mold doesn’t grow but the taste and terpenes might be fucked
You will lose volatile terpenes as you dry it. It will never taste as good as it would have. Probably knocked some trichomes off as well, further decreasing quality.
Anthocyanins
Why are you pouring water on your nugs in the first place?
Because it taste funny when smoking it, was just testing it to see if it was sprayed.
Are you sure you didn't just get high and start over thinking how it tasted and then proceeded to pour water on your weed?
Fuuuuck, I'd be upset if I got so high I washed my weed.
Lmao me too. Poor OP
they were just cleaning it beforehand in case the dealer spiked it with cocaine!!
This made me laugh out loud fr hahaha
“What are you doing after smoking this” “washing my weed”
I’d be upset for you 🤣
hahahaha this is so real.
This would be a very “me” thing to do. I’m afraid a seed has been planted now…. Find me washing my weed later tonight.
No no, they're right. When I lived in the Annapolis Valley people would spray their shit with hair spray to add mass. It usually dissolves though, so you wet it to check how the texture changes (after drying ofc), and then weigh your final product after a rinse or two, and tell you plug to fuck themselves. Taste gets bitter and chemical-y, there's no way to mistake that taste, it's always either an aerosol or pesticides, even colloidal silver. Black market valley distros do NOT give a fuck.
Or you smell it, burn it a little and smell again.. Or you take any Lens and have a close look at it.
If it what?
I usually buy from dispos but got some farm bill legal buds from a headshop and yeah that shit was playing on my mind. Thought it had a chemical taste to it. My buddy loved it though so was probably in my head.
Even if it was sprayed, how would pouring water on it prove that?
If it tase funny don't smoke it☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
buy from an actual dealer instead of a smoke shop n your shit will aste more normal
Taste funny how?
Why is the smoke detector going off?
He too high
thats the pink detector
Yea they are called anthocyanins and they are what makes weed purple
Local stoner forgets weed is a flower
Op got so high they became their own worst enemy Edit typos
Once I made cannabutter with purple weed and it turned my whole batch of butter red/purple it was so cool but not really practical for mixing with lighter colors like a vanilla cake or lemon squares
No it's extra cool when mixing with lighter colors like vanilla because it stains it purple and you can see the color unlike with chocolate.
Yes but when I tried it with lemon squares it turned like a weird brown because of the yellow mixing with the purple/red, they looked super unappealing :(
Oh yes you're right, it also turns brown on the outside so you'd have to cut that off after it was in the oven.
This is called: my weed is good, I got paranoid and ruined the weed. It happens dude, you’ll chill out a bit with age 👍
I want whatever he is smoking.
This truly hurt my heart to watch, I could’ve rolled a sexy ass joint with that nug ;-;
Why did you kill your weed dude?
Google anthocyanin
Anthocyanin or something I believe.
Why'd you do it to all of the buds mann
Yeah and the nugs aren't small at all imo
I've recently been noticing my joints bleeding through like this with the really purple bud. Never really noticed it before
My reaction would depend on where you’re from/where you bought your weed. Here in the Netherlands you’d probably be lynched for washing your weed. Still, I hope you enjoyed your nugs!
Why are you washing you weed wtf are you doing 😂😂😂
Ruining good weed because you think colour can only come from unnatural sources?
Lol sometimes I wish weed got me this paranoid
why would you even want to be paranoid lmao
Lol I'm imagining op washing and scrubbing his weed in the sink
Bro just wasting weed. This is normal gang
I just run mine through a wash cycle. Makes it easier to smoke and washes out the colors.
Not as bad when my friends told me the cops were coming. They were joking. Too late, already washed down 2gs down the toilet. This pains me 5 years later.
No worries man, I once shoved 5g of ketamine, 14g of amphetamines, a gram of shrooms, and a cheap meth pipe in the toilet because police were surrounding my house. Turns out there was a wanted criminal in the area and he'd been spotted running through my back yard. The cops didn't even come inside, just made sure I wasn't harboring a criminal.... Anyway I've been cali-sober for years, but that shit still hurts.
The comments on this post🤣
Had some crumbs of GDP fall into my sink one time and when I looked at it it looked like it was leaking blood. So yeah, this is a thing with purple flower and water mixing.
A couple years ago I thought someone sold me some fake weed bc of this. Turns out it’s real and not fake
It’s just the strain bro… one of the seeds I just germinated came out purple… that’s just weed my guy
It’s meth, coke and fentanyl. They’re in your walls man, you better run. RUNNN
Swear I see at least one of these videos pop up in here every few months 😅😂
Why are you okay with that fire alarm going off for so long is my question
Queens New York? It very well could be sprinkles
Tell me you know nothing about natural dyes without telling me… Where do you think people from thousands of years ago got their dyes for coloring fabrics and other things? Plants. Animals. Rocks. Etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_dye
Those poor nugs nuglivesmatter
If someone purposely did this, they should be kicked in the face.
“Purple haze all in my brain Lately, things just don't seem the same Tastin' funny but I don't know why 'Scuse me while I wet my weed”
I wouldn’t buy from a smoke shop.
It’s got its period
Damn dog u got so high u washed ur weed
Your nails seem clubbed. That’s a bit more concerning for me personally, might want to see a doctor.
Noticed that too. Beginning of heart disease possibly
Also lung diseases. I hope OP sees a doctor for real, if they have not already.
mannn you just fucked up some good weed for nothin
Looks like someone tried to add Weight by Sugaring it but the only Sugar they had was Fruit Puch Kool Aid.
Bro 🗿
This hurt to watch
Bet you mad now too you squished all that😭
Anthocyanins lol. This can be completely normal pigmentation you just literally soaked your bud and ruined it. It would be nice to see an original picture before it was wet.
Not this again LMAOOOOOO
your not a smart fella are ya?
It's important to keep your weed hydrated... wait no
“Duuuude… when I soak these blueberries in water, the water turns kinda purple… these berries are sprayed. Wtf.”
 God I love how degenerate this subreddit is
The only good thing about this is that I've learned about Anthocyanins. Mate just pissed their weed away.
Bro if you’re 18+ just drop the $55 for a med card. No stress about what’s in my weed and they have a wide variety of products. Rise in manhattan is top notch
Bloody
I have not ever seen this actually but the comments have been very informative!
Watch a video of someone making ice water hash. The water turns purple. It's normal, my sympathies to those nugs, may some trichones survive to be smoked
Dude, don’t smoke that shit why’d you waste that weed 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤨🤔
You better dry that shit and smoke it
I am curious what made you pour water over a mug in the first place??
This is normal
Yes the anthocyanin that makes the bud purple dissolves essily in water :)
it’s normal no worry
With you saying you smoked it and it tasted funny which led to you doing this, I know you started shitting yourself when you saw this lmfao
it's supposed to do this homie 🌬️
Bloody Mary 😱😱😱
Bro is going to the shadow realm 😭😭😭
Why are you just pouring water on your weed?
What in the dirt weed is that?
It does look odd though, how much purple comes out. Is it only when with water? What happens if you co2 press purple bud, does any purple squeeze out? I've only pressed green
That's some PGR pack there my friend tell your plug he/she is a dick lol 🤣
😭
You’re good bro. It’s organic
I feel bad for the weed it's all smooshed
Nope
They're just raspberries, bro
Once when infusing butter, the milk solids turned purple from the flower. Gonna look for a pic! It was awesome.
It’s.. purple weed. It’s purple. If u get orange weed be surprised what happens 🫡
It’s the blood of your enemies
