International Oddities review: awful company 49

Your a fool. You didnt like the products but you didnt try them either. I find they are BETTER than that indicated by the company. You sir are acting rediculous... Int Oddities products are quite amazing but they are smoking products- and you must SMOKE them before wasting your opinion of them on others.

You are right Iknowbetter. This guy is stupid. If you are old enough to play with fire you roll up the bud, light a match and smoke it. Then you should like it... if you actually inhale. The stuff is good. A few products could be stronger but for the most part the stuffs the bomb and the prices are within reason.

Peace.

Though I find it absolutely revolting you were unwilling to actually TRY the product before you bash it on the internet, it took a two second search to find some info for you so I'm going to share. Might I suggest a better way to word your complaint than "This stuff looks like it may not be good" before you write your letter.

I don't like strong language but this guy really is a dumb ###. Wasting everyones time to say he didnt like the products he ordered and he did not try them. FYI They DO have a live 24 hour operator phone number...but I see why you cant find it (or your nose). They are mainly a MAIL ORDER company and that means you order from the mail. Open up a High Times magazine within the last 20 years and you can find their address and phone numbers.
I usually buy their products from stores but have ordered online. The stuff is good. I dont know how its legal.

Hey.. my biggest complain with International Oddities is in their marketing - I can not comment on the product itself, as I have never ordered from them. However, International Oddities is clearly inclined towards SPAM and FALSIFICATION... they have heavily utilized BLOG SPAMMING to give people the idea that their products were used in the making of the "Pineapple Express" movie, when infact their product has never been used as a prop by SONY . They fabricated a paragraph claiming their products involvement in the movie, which can be seen word-for-word on many blogs. There are no official press releases by Seth Rogan that endorse the use of internationall oddities products.

This is not advertising -- this is just SHAMELESS, and is absolutely false.

Uh, Mr./Ms. Terrible? You seem to have a lot to say about International Oddities' supposed "SPAM, " but you don't tell us what evidence you have of the "FALSIFICATIONS." I mean, you say "this is just SHAMELESS" like you have a vested interested in people believing it... Why is that?

Thirty seconds of Googling will take you to video of Seth Rogen smoking legal weed on the MTV Video Music Awards. Considering that I.O. is the biggest and most respected company in the market, chances are good it was theirs. And then there's "Leaves of Grass, " the new Ed Norton movie that was made using I.O. "stunt buds" (and I hear they've got some pretty good logo placement in the movie, too.)

Which leads me to "Richard's" original message. I don't know whose herbs he got, but it damn sure wasn't I.O. I've got three cans of the stuff sitting on my desk right now, and every one of them is filled with fat green buds. There was a competitor that got nailed for selling fake International Oddities buds though, so maybe you just got ripped off?

this stuff is crap i got a bag of shake that tastes nasty. It is the worst thing i have ever smoked in my life. it was called "ultra" wizard smoke. If they can offer me something that isn't shake i would probably buy it. but this is the worst thing ever good thing i only purchased 14gs so it wasn't a total waste.

You know I read all of these posts before I placed my order and I agreed with all of the people telling the original guy he was a [censored] bag... Then I opened my order. Not only does it not look like legal "bud" (unless your Ray Charles) but it does not smell like "bud" but it does not taste like it either.

It was not shake like some of the posts claim, it was little balls of herbs stuck together, and at a glance it looked similar to some brick "buds" before they were bricked up, but then you open the package... and the strange smell hits you like a brick to the face.

The best part is that I got Blueberry and completely different type, they smell and taste exactly the same, and the Blueberry tastes like barfberry! OK and now the "buzz" that some video reviewers talk about. Its more like nausea and a mild headache, I say go to the local hardware store and buy a framing hammer (a 16 or 20 ounce should do) and repeatedly hit your self in the head (do not hit head with hammer) and you should get about the same feeling. If the hit in the head only makes you dizzy and not nauseous, eat some at Long John Silvers before buying the hammer and that should do the trick.

Anyone telling you that International Oddities stuff is like the real thing has never had the real thing, or was paid to say so; and I have the shipping box, the receipt, the can on the "red" and the tube of the Barfberry to prove it. This was not fake stuff form a competitor, it was legit and tasted like [censored].

I will re-post once I get a few replies with pictures... so no one else gets burned! HighTimes should be ashamed for allowing them to buy add space.

ultra wizard smoke does smell funny but makes a hell of a cut

Absolutely fake - no high - and dangerous to your health.

IO is all ###. And all of the posts made here supporting IO, were made by IO representatives. Here's a message...Stop selling ### products, and cut the aggressive, deceitful, spamming marketing approach. Not only is your product total ### and fake, you piss people off with your ###ing ### attitude towards those with a brain about or have experience with your ###ing ### product.\

### off you corporate money-[censored]s.

I just received an order from Intl Oddities and I am very disappointed. I ordered the 420 Special package for 55.00 which includes Dro and Stunk buds with a small gram sample of Black O (hash like resin). I was also given free items which included a lighter that didn't work, which they say is a 30.00 value, some hemp rolling papers and a hand held rolling machine. The buds of both the Dro and Stunk "look" real in the package but when I opened them up they smelled like cigarette tobacco with a hint of blueberry. I broke up the buds which were pressed together leaves with no sticks or seeds in sight, rolled them and lit up. The smoke smelled just like a cigarette and tasted like it too. I quit smoking cigarettes 13 years ago and hate everything about them, the smell, taste and smelly fingers etc. so these were very disappointing to say the least, but I tried to give them the benefit of doubt and smoked 1/2 joint of each herb. I was so disappointed when I felt nothing at all except deceived. The extinguished joints smell just like a cigarette ashtray too...gross. The best thing in the whole package is the rolling machine and papers, which are not not worth the 55.00 plus 10.00 shipping I paid. There is no contact info for refunds or customer complaints, the 800 number is totally automated so you can't speak to anyone either. I warn all others contemplating ordering from these guys to forget about it and go and buy a pack of cigarettes instead for a whole lot less.

you took the words right out of my mouth do a quick IO search here and see the 90 other complaints against these ###

also disgusted and cheated you ordered pot from an online company...thats your own fault for being so stupid

bought some bahli bubble herb and it really looks great. taste like burnt marshmellows and had no effect whatsoever... hella lame

Thank you all for the REAL info about I.O. I was about to order the skunk stuff, thinking Man a buz would be nice, I am afraid now, thinking I will just be wasting my money, and I have NEVER been a smoker of cigarettes, I think they stink like ###, and are harmful for everyone, And I hate the option of getting HOOKED, , Cigarettes is additctive, and that is stupid, I wonder why the world allows that bull ### to be sold legal. That is Totally Stupid, thinking of Inhaling, smoke and blowing it out, and all you get is Nurve Control, LOL, thats dumb, It gets good people Hooked, , Think about it, Thats how the companies are SUPER RICH, getting their customers HOOKED, , I like Marijuana, thats my deal, thats what I like, Nothing else, and I will NOT purchase from I.O. Hell now, , Thank you all for telling me that, I would not be very happy taking a toke of Standard Cigarette Smoke, , Hech now, , Thank you, thank you, thank you.. TO all telling the truth.

I.O. is very good at "scamming" their customers. I purchased 4 oz. of 6 different kinds of "legal bud" from them. I smoked a little bit and ended up throwing it all away. It doesnt absolutely nothing as far as effect except hurt your throat and give you a headache. I highly doubt there is anything in the product to give you a "buzz/high". Every single product on their website is the exact same thing. All they do it spray the "buds" with some sort of chemical that makes it smell and taste different. Trust me whe I say this "DO NOT BUY FROM THEM". If you need a MJ substitute, this is not it. Virtually all products called "legal bud" are absolute rip offs. The ONLY things that do anything are "herbal smokes" and "herbal incense" (i.e. spice gold, K2, serenity now), but those are still way over priced and do not produce an effect anywhere compared to MJ. I see a lot of people are giving the thread started ### because he didn't even smoke it. If you have ever bought this stuff, you don't need to smoke it. The smell and look alone is enough to make you feel sick, not to mention the smoke is more harsh than filter-less tobacco. Tobacco will give you more of a buzz than this stuff. If you really don't believe me...go ahead and buy some. It is nothing but an absolute waste of money. You will see. Don't go crying to anybody after you buy it, as I have given you a 100% honest and truthful review. I only need 2 words to describe I.O. products: "Complete Garbage".

A few years ago I tried IO products. I think it was the ti-stix and some other bud in a tube.

The ti-stix was nasty, just a bunch of herbs pressed into a stick and coated with a thick brown spray. Never mind the product was hard to work with, couldn't be "broken up" due to sticky crap, but after a while I managed to somehow smoke something of it only to be dissappointed by the awful flavor and harshness of the smoke, only to go on like many others I felt nothing but a headache coming on.

The other bud was just as much of a waste as far as what it was worth smoking. Although not nearly as nasty as the ti-stix crap.

MJ like experience 0, feeling of being totally ripped 1.

Recently I have tried the incense, and am very pleased. Someone mentions Serenity Now. All I have to say is serenity now, insanity later! Indeed these incense are more es pensive. My experience tho, is that this incense nearly works in one hit. At least one "small bowl" in a bong, and you're done. So no stems/seeds 3 grams is probably more like 5 grams of mj, and also it's pretty potent so you don't have to smoke as much. I would say potency of SN is right up there with $400/o mj. Unfortunately, I also feel products of these types may be subjected to counterfeiting more easily than most, because packaging is not readily identifiable or known and quite frankly anyone can print a bag to look like something and fill it with some herbs and what not. I highly doubt the SN I got is counterfeit, as I'm VERY WELL satisifed with it (and believe me I know good mj).

I recently bought some International Oddities...The products are very presentable, the shipping is fast, and you receive free bonus gifts. They hype their stuff up to sound like wow, I am going to get super duper mega ultra stoned! After smoking an entire joint and bowl of each on separate occasions, I came to the conclusion that I will never order from this company again. They all tasted similar, in the sense that they taste...odd to say the least, maybe similar to that of some cheap incense or potpourri. I didn't feel the least bit high, but I did get a super relaxed feeling. Nothing can replace my love for MJ. Good try International Oddities. I recommend that none of you buy from them unless you want some tobacco that tastes like potpourri!

I have tried virtually everything they carry. It is all ###. Total Crap. It smells like ###, tastes like ###, and if you are posting here defending, than we know who you work for.. lol. International ### in a bag should be the name of the company. There are other legalbuds companies that have decent product, again as long as you understand it's not giong to be just like the real thing. Internationaloddities.com products actually clogged my bowl in 1 smoke, ruining another bowl for my water pipe, and than I gave up. they are sticky, smell like total crap and make your lungs hurt.

420Tokin could you recommend some legal bud companies that are acceptable?

Their products are total crap. Their videos are all fake. There are good legal buds out there, just not from this company. THey are all marketing and fake videos and pictures. They will not refund you either when you buy their crap and choke on it.

what are some REAL companies that arent sellin ###?

tried all the "legal bud" products with no luck. all suck! spice worked but is laced with chemicals. can't wait to be off probation to toke the sweet leaf again... [censored]!

International Oddities is a fake, scam, peice of ### comapany that should be taken down and thrown away into a black hole. I.O. and their products were completely fake, I ordered the 420 special and I opened the box and rolled a joint of each and they both smelled "rank" it was the most discusting thing i had ever smoked, it was just a bunch of mushed herbs that were held together with sugar and the herbs themselves had food coloring that rubbed off on your fingers. I can say not to buy their products but if you want to waste your money then go ahead lol but i sure as hell will not buy from them ever again. Also you cant talk to anyone for a refund or anything you get a address and phone number but the phone number is automated and you never speak to a real person and the address is fake also, i sent a letter and got the letter returned because it was a fake address. I advise people to not buy their products because this company is fake and they are scammers and need to be taken down! so do not buy their products because you will be fuked over.

Yeah i was going to buy that ### but ### em it does seem like a scam, if anyone wants to get blazed off of something legal buy some k2 summit incense, i took 3 hits and felt like i just soloed a blunt of corn to myself i thought it was pretty close to a marijuana high and it only took three hits and for 40 dollars you get three grams so it lasts a while i stayed high for at least an hour ! this ### aint a scam

International oddities products are all TOTAL SCAM BS. They taste, smell and smoke like crap. They will not give you a refund and are rude as heL when you call for a refund or return. They shouldn't be allowed to be in business.

Yep I got some I.O. on Friday and I was SUPER disappointed with what I had gotten. I have tried the SPICE and it does work like MJ but not quite the same but damn near close though. I suggest if you want a marijuana alternative to either just quit sm oking bud or get urself some kind of spice

thanks guys, i filled out the order form for $55 to international oddities but before i put my card info in i decided to look for reviews. there are a [censor] ton of international oddities only review sites and that seemed sketch and this [censor] seemed too good to be true. as it turns out, it is. Thank you to all and to all a HAPPY 420!

for the record i am a customer who recently ordered...i just received my packaged of which i ordered 3 4oz cans and get one free..and let me say i am highly dissapointed the bud on all of these io videos are complete falsified and they should be ashamed the ppl who say this is a good company obviously do not know what real weed looks like or they would not be saying this...and just to prove i am tell the truth about what i am sayin i will provide a phone number where you can call an talk to me yourself and i will gladly send you pics of this [censor] my name is gerald and # is [protected] this company needs to be put outta business

I tried looking for I.O.'s email and found nothing. I called the phone number on their website and found no live customer service report after going through each option. After receiving my order and feeling giddy...I opened a fresh can of 'Krypto' to find white pieces that looked ALOT like mold on it. I picked about 1G to roll up and found stems being covered in this mold like substance and on the 'buds' itself. I anticipated to send pics of the 'MOLD' it to I.O. and see if its normal, guess im STUCK with this. Feeling disappointing sucks..but i already expected it after seeing multiple negative reviews online. Even worst is I.O. got me venting HERE instead of their email or to them. Jerks! -10 Karma for lying to us, bad International Oddities!

WOW! So glad I read the TRUTH about International Oddities. I was not believing what I was reading anyhow, but the pictures looked so GOOD that it ALMOST got me to buy some of that [censor] everyone says to STAY AWAY from! They post pics with pot leaves making you think it is BUD, but it obviously is NOT! They even offer you HEMP rolling papers to make you think otherwise as well...it is all [censor] from what I am reading now. How deceitful. How can this company stay in business? I read everything on their site and I could not find one honest answer to the question does this stuff you sell get ya high? No. INSTEAD it was a run around, avoiding answers to questions asked. I keep thinking there is no way in hell this can be the REAL deal. NO WAY. And their ridiculous [censor] talking in freaking wacked out ways...so Californian it is not funny! Like WOW man...just WOW! I mean really, this company should NOT be legal if it makes you think you are buying pot when you are not. They keep talking hybred this and that..and it is all [censor]. They might have been in HIGH TIMES for years but so the hell what? What DOES that prove IO? NOTHING. YOU ARE A SCAM COMPANY. YOUR PRODUCTS ARE [censor]. AND I BELIEVE THOSE WHO ANSWERED THE NEGATIVE POSTS WITH AN ATTITUDE TOWARDS THOSE WHO CLAIM YOUR [censor] IS [censor]...WELL WE ALL KNOW THAT IO MUST BE ANSWERING THE CLAIMS THEIR [censor] IS [censor] trying to make others think that people actually like that crap and it gets you high! There is NO way FAKE pot can work to get anyone high! PERIOD. Sorry, but I am NOT gonna try YOUR [censor] product ever now that I have read the truth about what it is, and your company. YOU ARE A [censor]ING RIP OFF AND I AM GLAD I WAS NOT ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE YOU RIPPED OFF! [censor] INTERNATIONAL ODDITIES for the [censor] advertizing and lies! FAKES, PHONIES, THAT IS IO! I will stick to the REAL DEAL myself...at least it gets you HIGH and does NOT taste like [censor] like the [censor] you get from International Oddites!

well have 2 give it a try on proll cant aford 2 fail pist test order it a couple days ago havent got it yet but i let u know if its good or [censor] hope 4 the best

Bought a pack of Anti-Gravity Promo Mini Blunts. Smells like incense. I smoked one complete blunt and it had no effect on me at all.

I tried it (Krypto) and it was a total ripoff. There is no way to contact the company to complain. It tasted terrible and the ONLY effect it produced was a sore throat for two days. I paid $55 for their fancy can and a "free" cigarette roller. I'm submitting a complaint to the attorney general. Maybe they can get a response out of them. Has anyone had any better luck with another company?

FYI - Anyone who has ordered from International Oddities and has discovered it is a total scam and paid by debit or credit card may call their bank or card issuer and dispute the charge. I did get a number from my bank to try to resolve the issue which is [protected] but I got voice mail for a general manager and my phone call was not returned. I encourage everyone who has been scammed to dispute the charge and hopefully you can obtain a refund. Also apparently the only "legal" product which was supposedly somewhat worthwhile K2 Blonde has been banned nationalwide as of December 19 so don't be fooled into buying anything else.

DON'T BUY THIS CRAP IO IS [censor]TING EVERYONE

Bought "Krypto" and its garbage. It smells so much me and my friend agreed to febreze it because we cant stand the smell and it looks like theirs mold on the product...wow

I want my damn money back.

I am stunned that IO is still in business. We need to get the word out that it is a worthless product. I have tried it and it is worthless! Why High Times accepts advertising from companies like this is beyond me. It lowers High Times's reputation in my eyes.
California Sec of State shows IO to be a california corporation active since 1998 witha PO Box 14627, Torrance CA 90503; Fred Crawford appears to be its attorney, the CA bar shows his address as 404 Torrance Blvd, Redondo Beach CA 90277; His web address is crawfordlegal.com and other info: work phone [protected]; fax [protected]; email: fred@crawfordlegal.com
This company needs to be SHUT DOWN.

i bought from i.o and was stupid enought to pay the extra 30 dollars for express shipping its been a week and i have yet to recieve my product but if and when i do i will let you know what i think. i have been a pot head for 12 years and had to quit because i started a family and couldnt risk getting busted and lets face it who like messing with ghetto [censor] dealers when i heard there was an alternitive thats legal i went to the smoke shop and got some... i loved it thats when i stumbled upon the web site. boy i am starting to regret it. i spent a total of 75 dollars wich i realy cant afford and now im getting the run around on my shipping. i just want to get high legally is that too much to ask?

I finaly got my shippment and have smoked three joints and got nothing but a small buzz. im so dissapointed i didnt want to spend 30 dollars for 3 grams of the other [censor] but i guess thats what its come down to i cant afford getting busted with the real [censor] so its either smoke the fake or go sober [censor] [censor] [censor] i feel like an idiot! 75 dollars down the drain. its tastes and smells like chewing tabacco ewwww and thier customer service is extremely rude. wtf SCAM

this company is a rip off and all the comments about them being anything but are from the company itslef read all the other complaints and all the possitive comments are the same. i was STUPID enought to purchase some of thier dro it smelled like chewing tabacco and smoking it was horrible but i didnt stop because i wanted to share with eveyone out there what would happen if you did smoke the stuff for a long period of time. it made me extremely ill and i ended up going to the doctor with complaints of chest pains told him what i was trying and gave him a sample. my doc had it anilized and come to find out there are extremely harmfull chemicals in this [censor] that proplonged use can cause cancer, not reffering to the fact that it is a tabacco based product but the other [censor] they put in it so all in a nut shell if you smoke it you will die!
