A wolf (dank) in sheep's (shwag's) clothing?

So I had to find a new dealer recently, and at first I was pretty sceptical about his wares. I figured I didn't have much choice and paid the $30/eighth. The weed is pretty brown, a little dry, and has plenty of seeds and a fair share of stems. Hell, I'll post a pic. I should have thought of that first.
Anyway, after a chilly outdoor session, my opinion and that of a few very experienced stoners is that it's GREAT weed. We passed 2 big bowls between the 3 of us and were all very baked.
The pic made them look more green than they really are (if the attachment worked?), but whatever.

Who else has found a metaphorical diamond in the rough like this?

 

Im finding it hard to see in that picture its really blurry. But thats really cool how it turned out to be better than you expected. Especially since its a reasonable price for a good stone.

 

Looks like lettuce to me.

 

Oh, and some of the buds look really funny

 

i've definitely come across stuff like that. good weed that is probably too dry and has a few seeds. i've also had some great looking weed without seeds fresh as can be and it sucked. it's just goes to show that you never know until you smoke it. in general though, if it looks like shit it probably is but one can always be fooled.

 

some sativas are naturally a little brownish . . but still good or great
