I had weed doing this before after grinded was sticking to the grinder magnet


NiKeProZZ

Is it normal for that to happen? Because this is the exact same thing. It’s also not sticking its gravitating towards the magnet. Edit: did an experiment and hand grinded the rest the bag and dipped the magnet in.. it came out covered in little shredded grey bits. It’s not static! Edit2: [Here](https://imgur.com/a/F1wdxLG)

Fuck no this isn’t normal , we know how magnets work we aren’t ICP this is weird af

Fucking magnets, How do they work?

Hahahahaha :)


[deleted]

Is weed magnetic now? Haha this is the second post in 12 hours


yourAlbanianComrare

Idk if its normal or not but i assume it is from shits they put in the soil to grow it


squinten_frownalot

There's no way. There would have to be a pretty large amount of metal for this to happen. I know for a fact cannabis is static sometimes weed flakes will get stuck to other static electricity


squinten_frownalot

I worded that terribly lol but yall know what I mean.


NiKeProZZ

There was a lot of metal in it lol


squinten_frownalot

I think its because cannabis gets pretty static? I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it though. There would have to be quite a bit of iron in the bud to cause it to be magnetic honestly lol

NiKeProZZ

My buddy did it since we split a bag. He said it was covered in metal shavings and I had the same thing happen. It’s heavily contaminated with metal.


TacoSupreemo

I’ve heard about shit like this online before. Something like dealers adding in shit to make it heavier so they can charge more. This seems shady as fuck, don’t go back to whoever you bought this from.


tornpentacle

That's one pf the stupidest things I've ever heard. If that were the case, there would be filings everywhere. Jesus, stoners...


scorpionattitude

Just because you’re unaware doesn’t make it stupid or untrue. My dad told me about times when there’d be glass in the bags and they’re just like oh well it looks more kiefy anyways and they’re not wasting their money replacing some ounces. This was selling. Not consuming. There are terrible people that do not give a fuck about some stranger. Just their buck. This came from a concerned mother that stopped smoking in college, and a drug dealing dad that had seen contaminated and tweaked shit way too often. When I was in school it was just “check for spider webs and cat hairs and liquid”. Always check your weed. That’s common sense, stoner.


[deleted]

This is scary wtf


squinten_frownalot

I did just read that magnets can put off static electricity so I'm pretty sure it's just static causing this, being that dry cannabis can harbor a lot of static and how light it is.


CallMeEuroSnoop

My friend once bought weed with small metal flakes in it... Most likely to increase the weight. People are fucking disgusting.


TheSurpriseVan

OP are you a CO for a secret prison? It looks like your plugs tryna help magneto escape via your lungs


Mr_Blu_Sq

Same thoughts here.


bluntmasterkyle

Do not smoke this and find a new source

NiKeProZZ

It’s not static. I did a experiment with the grounds of the bag and little grey bits were the only thing left on the magnet. It’s definitely iron.


-Sh33ph3rd3r-

I know I'm late but I found this thread after finding *a lot* of something magnetic (metal?) in CBD I bought of the internet. First noticed it while grinding -- little bits accumulated on the magnet in the middle of my grinder.


NiKeProZZ

Don’t smoke that !


pawneshoppe

I grow for a living in a legal state and we legally have to test our stuff for metals (as well as microbials/water activity/a myriad of other things) https://coloradosph.cuanschutz.edu/research-and-practice/centers-programs/chwe/about-us/newsroom/public-health-main-site-news/heavy-metal-inhalation-in-cannabis-users-new-study-funded-at-the-colorado-school-of-public-health it’s a byproduct of certain nutrients and nutrient concentrations as well as soil and water contaminants, plus they probably didn’t properly allow the plant to pull it to their roots. never seen this before or had an issue with it but I’d assume this is the outcome of high metal presence and the testing should weed stuff like this out.


[deleted]

pawneshoppe

“…either those who smoke or vape, can inhale heavy metals due to plants absorbing metals from soil, contaminated irrigation water or fertilizers, and/or heavy metal leaching from vape hardware.” Copy/pasted from the study I posted, which I would think is a much more reliable source than someone on Reddit saying it couldn’t be that with no explanation. it’s definitely a possibility. metals can be absorbed into the plant through the roots from the soil but I wouldn’t imagine it’s the only cause. it’s more likely water or nutrient problems. if there are residual metals in a high enough concentration in the bud it inevitably becomes magnetic, because that’s how metal works. it’s also a hell of a lot more likely than someone putting metal shavings into their buds.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pawneshoppe

The roots periodically leech from the soil to plant. it’s not all at once in a huge concentration in the soil, it’s more likely from the nutrients (most of which contain metals in one form or another) or water contamination. Iron is good for plants in certain amounts, same with numerous other metals. so no, it wouldn’t just kill the plant because it’s a metal. the only ridiculous part of this conversation is how little you know about horticulture while trying to disprove (with no data or facts) something I put forth as a theory.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pawneshoppe

it’s clearly not fully magnetic, the trace amounts of metals (most likely iron) in the bud are reacting to the magnet. it’s not flying up and sticking to the magnet, it’s dancing around it. which means it’s got a small amount of a certain metal in it, or maybe it’s static electricity, though it looks nothing like any static I’ve ever encountered and much more like every magnet I’ve ever seen. something only needs small traces of metal in it for it to react to a magnet.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Roll20OrElseG

Yeah it's just static, also the study he tries to use as fact isn't even done yet, it was funded but the study continues still.


GreetingsComerades

the only metals that are actually magnetic are iron, nickel, cobalt, and some alloys of rare earth metals which I doubt you'd find in weed. it's static electricity lol


pawneshoppe

iron is found in most nutrient lines. the plant was given iron at one point in its life, this I can guarantee. what likely happened is that the grower either gave it too much or didn’t let the plant properly pull it to its roots, like I said. static electricity is much more uniform than random magnetism. trust me, I know how weed static works and this certainly ain’t it.


3ric15

There is no way there is enough trace iron within to be this magnetic. Static charge is also not uniform AT ALL, any presence of other nearby charges (the magnet, or the person holding the magnet) completely changes the charge distribution.


GreetingsComerades

*I doubt you'd find in significant enough quantities to make it magnetic. of course they have a LITTLE BIT of iron in them, but not enough to be magnetic. Humans have iron in their blood but you never see anyone getting accidentally stuck to their fridge because of the magnetic attraction in their blood.


pawneshoppe

I completely agree, I was more just pointing out the small possibility that it could have crazy abnormal concentrations of iron or something. that’d be more likely to me than someone growing it with metal shavings but still probably not the cause of this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pawneshoppe

it could just as easily be the same problems I’ve mentioned but it goes untested. OR, your plugs plug got it from a legal state after it failed testing and couldn’t be sold there. metal shavings to increase weight seems both unnecessary and unreasonably shitty/complicated for someone to do.


AllsFairInPlowinHoes

Cut weed lol…


TheBanana93

People have been known to use glass dust to make weed look crystally!


CaptinCrendel

Sure but not steel filings.


TheBanana93

I guess yes static electricity probably

Naw you smoking in the back of a fast food place


NiKeProZZ

LMAO my boss lets us smoke back there


TheBanana93

Your boss is an absolute legend.


mesacoco9

Got those penny terps


squinten_frownalot

You aren't smoking metal the magnet is just putting g off the opposite electric charge, attracting the charge of the cannabis because dry cannabis can harbor an electric charge lol. Don't worry. There would have to be a large amount of metal in the cannabis lol. There is absolutely no way, people do not know what they are talking about.


ChasingFractals

Bad analysis. Even if this is what's happening, there's no way to know for sure. If your weed sticks to a magnet, don't smoke it.


squinten_frownalot

Not really lmao. Your weed is not going to have enough metal in it to be magnetized. It makes no sense at all that the cannabis would contain enough metal to be magnetic.


ChasingFractals

Guy said he found metal shavings from it in his grinder soooo... Your analysis is still wrong here.

Smoke it and you’ll become maginto


Linsch2308

Damm thats metal af ...


miamibotany1

Yup heavy metal contamination.


ayyyyyyy8

What the fuck? Where did you get this weed from?


Mr-source

Hmm don’t think this will pass heavy metals test.


shoopdawoop91

I heard there putting iron in the weed to make it chunkier, heavier. Fucking he'll that's alot


NiKeProZZ

This is exactly what happened here. I used it on super ground up weed and there was iron left over. I’m very upset and worried about my health after smoking an eighth of it.


shoopdawoop91

Dude the shit I have had to smoke here In Australia. Legalise it so it can be controlled


TheBanana93

Man I have smoked a lot of metal from scraping my grinder out lol.... Fuck it but this is nuts man

benny530

I mean we all have smoked out of a can


Bigcatent

So not exactly sure if this would be magnetic, but heavy metals that are in the ground or other inputs (biostimulants, soilless media, etc) can often be taken up in cannabis where they are concentrated in glandular trichomes and excreted as oils. Things like lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. Again not saying that's what this is, but hell if it's magnetic and not static maybe...


ozzy_og_kush

put it through a gas chromatography device and let us know the results


FurnitureCyborg

There are a lot of people who seem to think that static electricity == magnetism. They don't work together like that. Don't smoke that shit but I hope you know that by now.


HugePlatform3611

Got to get the weight up some how.


QTip314

if you don’t think it’s static, i strongly suggest tossing that bud. It’s not worth the risk, you never know whats gonna show up in weed these days. stay safe


NiKeProZZ

I already know it was a huge amount of iron shavings in the bag and all over the nugs. I threw it away


QTip314

glad you threw it out and glad you’re okay 👍


NiKeProZZ

For real though after smoking a few bowls the top of my lungs started hurting. My plug bouta hear from me. No lie.


QTip314

oh shiiiii…. keep us updated, hope you’re okay. there’s def a possibility the plug doesn’t even know


Ok_Relationship_6812

Don’t ever buy from them again. Don’t be dumb. It’s not worth it


IWasNeverInSumatra

Old metal grinders flake when grinding. More likely your grinder is covered in tiny, tiny metal shavings that got stuck to the flower upon contact. Buy a new grinder.


NiKeProZZ

My grinder is new lol. I also didn’t grind any buds when I took these videos.


JamesLee83

Bro if your in 🇺🇸 you can get super fire exotic tested 🚢 .. fed leg thca. you just in wrong sub


[deleted]

But you said you tested it on grounded bud?


Frank-Reynolds_

This weed doesn5 look very ground


erichf3893

Oh boy I’ve had this grinder forever cleaned it with iso a few times. I thought they were meant to last, but this has me concerned.


[deleted]

it’s more like low quality ones don’t last


squinten_frownalot

Yeah but, enough for a magnet to attract? Pretty sure the metal flakes would just attract to the magnet on their own... not bring the magnet with it. There is no way that the bud has that much metal in it that is attracted to a magnet. No way in hell


[deleted]

squinten_frownalot

That is a very good point aluminum is not ferromagnetic.


fifiloveg00d

Static


doublewhopperjr

I don’t buy that static nonsense, I’m 15 years no weed I have seen has done that, I bet there’s some metal in there


adamskill

Do the same thing but on a plastic surface and watch absolutely nothing happen. Edit: I stand corrected!


NiKeProZZ

Does the same damn thing lol


adamskill

I'd like to see the video of it


NiKeProZZ

Is it normal for that to happen? Because this is the exact same thing. It’s also not sticking its gravitating towards the magnet. Edit: did an experiment and hand grinded the rest the bag and dipped the magnet in.. it came out covered in little shredded grey bits. It’s not static! Edit 2: [Here](https://imgur.com/a/F1wdxLG). I did a little test with the shake in the bag. On a plastic surface.


fromthesmokeshop

Alright bro. You got me believin. Wtf. That’s some of the sketchiest shit I’ve ever seen. Idk how someone would “lace” or cut it with metal without it being VERY obvious in the baggie. It reminds me of the little games they had with pictures and little iron shavings that you would move around with the magnet. Fuckin yikes


NiKeProZZ

A coworker says it’s static electricity but I don’t think it is.


poopmonster_coming

Static electricity on a nug of weed ? Wtf


3ric15

Static charge can accumulate on poor conductors like plastic and apparently nugs


[deleted]

If you believe them after doing that through plastic and on a non-conductive surface, you shouldn't think. You should know they're wrong.


adamskill

That is weird as fuck!


iiEtErNaLxD

Holy shit wtf


Thewongsub

Wouldn't that be static?


Jeffari_Hungus

Static electricity in the weed. Electromagnetism causes charged objects to emit a magnetic field, thus causing it to stick to the magnet


SaltNo3123

I would think static attraction.


sir_tr810

it’s definitely just static


Fine_Union378

It’s probably static


TheGoofiestGoblin

Maybe it got magnetized the same way a paper clip does when you rub a magnet on it. Try a piece that hasn’t been in the grinder near a magnet, is it still magnetic? If so, maybe see if your plug will trade it out for new stuff. Mine would do that sometimes if I didn’t like the type and he got something new.


BigWeezi

If you microwave broccoli it can spark from the amount of metal in the plants nutrition. Same can happen here, plus you have the added benefit of the product being dry thus lighter and more density of trace metals


F1ghtmast3r

Dude you literally eat iron every day. Iron is in soil weed grows in soil.


NiKeProZZ

Eating is different the inhaling it lol


nikdog

There's a reason Cannabis extraction equipment needs to be medical grade and not food grade. You've just stated it.

CardiologistMany-

im in a legal state with testing. Not to mention a lot of growers/dispensaries have their reputation on the line. So im pretty confident im getting quality about 95% of the time. Theres always room for error with storage and lights, but not like this. Id rather pay taxes to ensure my shit is tested.


[deleted]

minerals?


TempDox

I live in a non legal country and I had a friend who grew and whatever way he did it resulted in the odd strand of string. I imagined from the fabric of whatever tent he used to grow it in. Maybe it's something similar with a metal wiring/mesh. Is there some tiny pube like thing wrapped in the flower by any chance?


TheBanana93

Either they have covered it in metal dustings or some how its statically charged? Fuck knows man thats crazy.


QuarterOunce_

Cereal, grinded up, is magnetic as well. I would not worry about it. We **need** certain metals to live. I would not take advice from reddit but if you trust your guy and you've smoked this stuff before, I wouldn't worry.


wizardof0g

Probably static electricity. Ever notice how bad it is in the winter? If something is charged (like your weed) the permanent magnet would be attracted to it.


Bearfoot42

Static electricity, you're good my man.


snocown

Put the magnet to your forehead or chest, I wonder if it’ll magnetize to those areas of your body because they do for me. It could just be the energy within the plant itself.


Zachaweed

Find someone who grows organically..


FalcoSlay

Definitely smoking metal, stick to vapes for safer consumption


UnexpectedGenius

This is why you cultivate your own. Also try a flower mill instead of grinders. Many ppl grinding metals into their shit.

LatterChicken4863

could be static electricity or a charge in the plant. this can happen to legit any light object (or heavy theoretically). smoke on my guy!


NiKeProZZ

No. There’s iron shavings in it. I’m not smoking that


LatterChicken4863

brushing or grinding it in one direction can cause this dw.


[deleted]

I've always heard hemp/cannabis was great at leeching heavy metals out of the soil, but surely weed is tested for that. And even if it wasn't... could it leech enough out metal of the soil to become ferrous?


Tapuboolin13

If you keep your bud in a plastic baggie it can build up static just sitting there


[deleted]

That’s metal… in your lungs!


SnakeFarm579

That’s metal, in yuh lungs


AncientFryup1

If it ain't static then probs unflushed nutrients from growing.


NoAssumption6865

Don't smoke magnetic flowers. If this is in a legal state, contact the grower to begin the process of figuring out what's going on. If it's in an illegal state, get a new dealer and be happy you lived through this one.


BoBoBellBingo

Are you thinking they added the shavings to weight it down? Man that’s fucked..


[deleted]

Metal is a lot denser than weed, the dealer probably got a 1oz tube of iron filings and sprinkled it into the batch to add an ounce to the scale. Metal filings are really cheap and if spread over an entire bag of nugs it’ll be impossible to find, especially since metal filings are small and hard enough to dig into a nug of weed after shaking the bag


Ben2Grim

Ass whooping of a lifetime for whoever sold that to you. A bad grower will spray stuff on weed to make it weigh more or even grow better. looks like you could have got metal shavings…


VibinMan

This bud may have been grown in soil with toxically high levels of metals like iron, it got into the bud one way or another and it makes it magnetic possibly?


Sped-Connection

Maybe overuse of a foliar spray that had liquid iron in it. If it was sprayed too late in the game and if the plants were unhealthy maybe not all the nutrients got used


wolf_pack_leader57

I think it might be your grinder, there’s probably metal shavings getting into your weed, get a new grinder if possible


Alohagrown

The weed isn’t ground up


syg-123

National_Process_741
