Idk, I know most people on SR aren't minding their wallets, but I tend to like some value for my dollar. That being said, the best on SR in weed seems to be the seller "fabled"..I'm nervous that its too good to be true tho, especially considering he requests people to finalize their order beforehand...has anyone dealt with this buyer? I'd really like some reassurance before I go ahead and spend my money

First things first is you have to realize what fabled is selling.
It is by no means "the best" weed on SR because of the massively lower price. He's not selling dank, and he's not selling mids. That is brick weed, very low quality regs that are compressed and browner than standard mids. Will probably have more seeds, stems, and other unsmokable bits in it. Weight wise it will probably take you three times as much of it to get the same effects as you would a higher grade bud. Still, if you need something cheap, there is no shame in smoking brick weed. Just be aware it's much lower quality than any other listing on SR. (don't think anyone else is selling brick here)
As for the seller, he's very new. I think I saw fabled make a thread a while back to gauge the interest of lower-quality herb. So I guess enough people were interested that he went through with making some listings. If you want to be the test-rat, by all means be his first buyer.

I am interested in some brick, as well.
I recall reading some of Fabled's posts on the forum and he seems like a good guy.
just wondering if it will be vac. sealed, etc - and I am just waiting on some buyer feedback.
god damn kind bud for the past 4-5 years gets to be quite costly, and I was thinking of mixing in a bit of swag to try and keep my costs down as I am a daily smoker, and there are so many other treats on SR I could be spending my savings on...
Looking forward to hearing from Fabled re shipping and some buyer feedback. Perhaps I will send him a PM.
All the best for the coming New Year - SR and this forum have been a huge resource for me.

Yes, I am not trying to sell this weed as good. I can't get good weed at decent prices here, so I smoke a lot of this and am able to sell it on here. One of my customers told me that he was ordering so that he could mix his good weed with some reggie to conserve bud, but you could also just use it to roll some nice joints or blunts.

Just to follow up on my previous post:
I grabbed 1oz and am quite pleased all around.
Now, for a new Vendor (although Fable has been an active SR/Forum member for 6 months) his shipping and packaging was spot-on - sometimes a new Vender needs some feedback to improve, but Fable had it Right from start.
This is what we call around "these parts" commercial/brick/compacted bud - it's green, not brown and it's got red-hairs. And for the price, it's a great deal. I am a KB snob, coffee snob, etc - but I figured grabbing a Oz of this would help free up some of the money I spend on KB to buy other treats on SR.
Not saying it's a replacement for the KB, just to help me stretch it out longer.
I think it's great that Fable has offered this product on SR - really filling a void that some buyers might want .
Cheers.

Thanks a lot for the review, I really appreciate it man. =)

This nukka is legit as they come. After a little mix up on his end, shortened cash flow etc... I had to wait a week for it to ship. I recieved my 2 oz shipment as a QP. Double what I ordered. The weed isn't the best, however that's not what was advertised/expected. For the price, it's a steal.
I only hope that this wasn't a mixup and someone expecting 4oz only gets 2 :( I messaged him and am waiting for response.

Fabled's SR profile says he got held up at gun point and is currently closed shop (potentially for good?)
That sucks man, definitely agree there is a market for cheap, high-value greens on SR
Fabled - can you elaborate on what happened? I'm imagining a scene like Omar busting a stash house in 'The Wire'

Hey guys, if you really want to get high and save money. Get a paperclip, and twist one of the ends as much as you can (try and get it into kind of like a ball without actually breaking the paperclip), then you can light the paperclip with a lighter till it turns red, and put some Butane Hash Oil or Budder on it, and inhale vapors through straw or a pen. If you are using medicinally there is no need to get high off regs, you are inhaling so much plant matter in the long run it'll be worse if you're smoking two packs a day. This is what I did before I was a glass freak. I love my bongs and oil rigs to death but concentrates are the way to go if you just want to get high and save money. But if you're in the business of pushing green then ignore this advice :P

Holly check this out, according to the New York Times marijuana smoking doesn't harm smokers lungs.

But smoking adulterated weed can intact have a negative impact on your health, check out the shwag report. A lab did a bunch of tests one street level weed and found nearly all samples "had lots of visual contaminants like mold, and dirt, suspected insect droppings, along with other unidentified contaminants, and were loaded with pesticides"...anyways an interesting read: http://northernlabservices.com/uploads/The_Schwag_Report.pdf
fabled, I wish you all the luck in the world, it sounds like you went through a terrible ordeal.

Hey, toelessJoe sent me a PM asking about what happened on Silk Road and I haven't gotten a chance to get on the forums. I am kinda busy atm with school work, so I am going to copy/paste what I wrote him a few days ago. Lol, sorry I'm so lazy.
"We do not feel like we were set up... we actually trust our middle man a pretty good bit. We actually fronted him the money, and the robbery occurred whenever we went to pick up the bud.
We were sitting in our car waiting for our guy, and as soon as he got to our car, two guys walked out of a nearby house. I had met at least one of them before, and they yelled at our guy if he had any kush. He told them to wait because he was trying to do business right now. Then my partner asked our guy if he had a light, and he didn't so he hollered at the two guys to see if they had a light.
They walked over, pulled out a small pistol (it looked like a .22 or something similar) that was spray-painted orange. They told us to get out of the car and get on the ground. We didn't have the bud yet, our guy was carrying it under his shirt. They took the bud from him and then told us to get out of the car again. After we got out of the car and were getting on the ground, one of the guys punched my partner in the eye, and they asked for our wallets. They took all the cash and threw them back at us. Still at gunpoint, they told us to get back into the car and slowly back out the drive. Our guy was screaming 'don't shoot, don't shoot' and ran off into the hood (ducking behind cars and shit). Luckily they only took the cash and left all of our cards and IDs, but they did take our cellphones which really really sucks. I have replaced mine, but my partner is having a hard time with his insurance. It's a pain in the ass. We lost over a grand and it's fucking hard dude... that was all the money we had been saving up.
After catching our bearings, we have decided to continue whenever we can get our money straight; however, we do not know when that will be. I met a new supplier and will probably continue using our old one. We are just not doing any-fucking-thing in his hood again unless it's in his house.
First time being robbed. We are looking into getting handguns for ourselves.... shit really fucking sucks. It isn't happening again.
Thanks for your concern... hopefully we'll be able to do business again soon.

Just want everyone to know that while this is a major set back, and we did lose over a grand, that we are going to try to continue with our little operation. Luckily we still had some money in escrow and an order on the way here to sell and make some dough so we weren't wiped completely off the map. We are still in quite a bit of debt... we were actually celebrating a bit about finally breaking even and then we got fucking robbed. So, just keep us in your hearts as we try to start up shop again. Just wanna thank everyone for their support. =)

That blows man, sorry for BS like this.
Best of luck getting up and running again.

I ordered a few months back and everything went fine.
was just browsing fabled's page because i'm in the market for some mexican brick and i see a couple negative reviews.
just bumping this thread so that maybe Fabled or the disgruntled customers might give us more details so we can make up our minds for ourselves

I ordered from fabled quite recently and both the weed and the transaction were good. It certainly was brick weed but not excessively stemmy or seedy, and I thought it packed quite a punch. At under $5 a gram, impossible to beat.

Hey guys. Trust me, we see the negative reviews too and we're pretty puzzled. I just got on this morning to see the latest one in all caps detailing what an awful seller we are, however we haven't had any problems with any of our latest shipments so I'm not sure what went wrong! Just checked the latest DLC's as well and everything is on point, so perhaps it's just someone with a stick up his ass. There's another bad review from about 2 weeks ago that was totally our fault, however we sent it to resolution and gave the guy a 100% refund (hoping he would change his feedback...HE DIDN'T).
Anyhow..long story short. If you're an honest buyer you won't EVER have any problems with us. Most negative feedback is from pricks trying to get their product AND their money back. We hope to have some listings back up within a week. If you have any questions or just wanna chat, feel free to contact!
best and happy toking
