AskTrees What is this?
My coworker got this from a customer that he said is “sketchy at best” and wanted my second opinion on it. I told him it was probably a male plant (not completely sure) and I personally wouldn’t smoke it if I wasn’t sure whether or not it’s laced with something. He ended up stopping by my house so I could see it in person. It looks worse in person, it kinda just crumbles apart when you pick it up and it smells minty (which is the part that’s completely throwing me off). Neither of us are gonna smoke it but I was just curious if this is even weed due to the minty smell

That’s all the sugar leaves off the nugs. You could probably smoke this entire bag and barely feel a head change
After taking a closer look, this literally just looks like leaf trimmings

Sugar leaves back when I was young and innocent were actually pretty good bang for the buck. Did the job and It was 5 bucks for a baggie stuffed completely full. If you have any real tolerance built up it's useless but if OP couldn't tell what it was just from looking, it might be right up their alley

Any idea why it smells minty? Like there’s literally not even a hint of weed just a slight mint smell

u/Shoddy_Spread4982 1d ago
I’m honestly just as baffled as you. Let me talk to my grower and I’ll get back to ya

After consulting my dude, he said it’s likely an outside grow that had some environmental influence. I personally wouldn’t touch it, but you do you big dawg! Stay safe out there

I personally wouldnt throw away weed just because its trim. It still has some (nonzero) thc.

u/Wingzly 1d ago
Yeah I’m not gonna smoke it I was mostly just curious about the smell and if it was even weed.

I run a grow in CO.
The mint smell is interesting. We've gone through 160 strains in 5 years and only one smelled truly like a menthol. It could just actually be higher in ocimene or eucalyptol/cineole depending on what kind of mint you're smelling.
This is 100% just the trim. This is what we sell that people will turn into wax, shatter, rosin, or edibles.
Wax and shatter: essentially douse it with butane. Catch the liquid at the bottom, that's now concentrated THC. Do it outside, don't light a match or you'll blow yourself up.
Rosin: put it in a sock, put sock in ice water, shake tf out of it, scoop out the trichomes, roll it in a ball (you now have bubble hash), squeeze that between a hair straightener. That's now solventless concentrated THC.
Edibles: throw it in a crock pot with a couple sticks of butter. Give it a couple hours, filter out the plant material, you now have cannabutter that can go on anything. (DO NOT MAKE PUPPY CHOW!! It's a vicious cycle where you just keep eating more puppy chow and getting higher and higher).
I can't say I'd recommend smoking it, but there's other ways you can utilize what you have!

That's the answer we didn't even know we needed. Fuck yeah!

u/stumblinghunter 17h ago
Lol glad I could help. Feel free to ask any other questions.
I did read a few years ago something about slowly incorporating water into the crock pot somehow, it helps with removing the taste of plant material from the cannabutter. But I didn't read that until I'd been in the legal industry (and therefore employee discounts on edibles) for a few years, so I haven't personally done that part.

Catnip

u/mossyquartz 22h ago
Yeah, thinking this could actually be catnip if it smells distinctly more minty than loud lol catnip is related to mint

Also just want to preface that he did not buy the weed it was given to him so nothing lost here.

u/WheezierGryphon 1d ago
Just looks like a bag of shake and trimmings, could probably fish through it for nugs, but I'd just make edibles with it

u/Saruman974 21h ago
Man... Those don't look even like sugar leaves. Those are straight up fan leaves. However, you're gonna get maybe 1-4 good edibles with that.

You can make a cup of canna milk, should have some cbd, maybe thc. Great for pain. I make “magic milk” as my dad calls it with weed shake and turmeric, he says it helps for the chronic nerve pain in his arm.

trim.
or as some dispensaries I've been to in Colorado call it, "shake" 😩🤦🏼♀️
it's the bits and pieces that fall off the plants while the plants are being trimmed, after harvest.
it's low quality and makes me cough more, but it still gets me plenty high. and it's great for mining keef because it's so cheap! i don't mind destroying it to get all the keef

It’s minty cos leaf dries too fast - that’s the chlorophyll trapped inside. It’s just a bag of trim, make some dry sift hash or eddies or just grind that shit up and smoke massive blunts or bowls 🤷♂️ tis what tis

u/American-_Gamer 21h ago
Looks like reallllly dry sugar leave and a few crumbled fan leaves. If you can run your hand through it and it's not sticky it's real bad

Ahh, the 21st century.
A time when, even tho you're holding it in your hands, you still have to ask the internet what it is. 🤣🤣

About the only thing that would be good for is compost

u/shellsandsnails 18h ago
That’s shake and not even enough to make a useful amount of oil or butter. Best to just compost it.

Where the heck do you even find people who actually buy stuff like this?? xD (asking for a friend)

u/NUMBerONEisFIRST 14h ago
It looks like trimmings from good nugs.
Are you sure it's minty and not like pine?
If it's like pine, it's likely from good bud.
I had a guy back in the 90s that would sell 'shake' for $60/oz. It was basically trimmings like this, but he would throw in some finely ground potent weed into it, and it was basically mids when smoked.

That's what i use to make hash when I'm done trimming my plants. You would need way more of it to make anything

100% shake/sugar leaf trim you can still make fire edibles with it, you can also make pre rolls (a lot of sketchy prerolls are just left over shake like this stuff)

Sketchy at best? It’s shit at best. It’s poison at worst . Looks like the remnants after I mow the lawn mate.
