Hash Consistency

[portishead]

Say you are going to buy some hashish. What should the consistency be? Should it be moldable? Is it okay if it is hard?

[ConcealedCulture]

There are different types of hash. Moldable, claylike consistency is usually bubble hash. The hard stuff is pressed, and you dont know wtf is in there. I would get some bubble if you can.

[Gixer]

There are many different types. The black morrocan stuff is usually soft and slightly squidgey, but afghan blonde is usually hard and quite crumbley. The stuff we get here in the UK now is shit, full of bits of crean wrap and god knows what else, but if you can get the pure real deal than happy toking to you! smoke in with a pin or hot knives, or if you have a hookah pipe fire up the charcoal. :)

[portishead]

So it's okay to heat the hashish over a knife then inhale the smoke?

[Gixer]

Yeah for sure, thats one of the best ways to smoke it if you dont own a shisha pipe. The other way I like is to get a beer mat or some thick card, a wine glass and a needle. Push the needle through the card, and put a small bit of hash on the end of the needle, light it and cover it with the glass. When the glass is full of smoke slide it to the edge of the card and inhale the smoke. FANTASTIC!

[Mordiana]

Last method is absolutely great.

Or make a waterpipe, take a plastic bottle, stick a pipe of metal in it by making a hole, find a piece of fine anti-flies in your room fence, put that in, put some water in there, not too much, not too little. put hash, light, inhale through the top. Oh and make a hole in the side, just above the water, and press your thumb on that while sucking the smoke up, then release hole and get the rest.
...
or just smoke a joint ofcourse, easiest. Don't put much tobacco in though. its gross.

[portishead]

In Amsterdam... Is it possible to buy some hashish in the coffeshoop and smoke it that way, on a spoon or something like that? I really do prefer that method...

But I guess that doesn't look very sophisticated does it?

[The Reverend]

I suppose no-one would say anything but you might get some funny looks. It's not what the romans do though and when in rome...

Take 3/4 of a cig, 0.7g hash and king size rolling paper. Empty the cig into a bowl, heat the hash slightly and mash it into the tobacco so you can't tell what's hash and what's baccy. Roll into a large cone with a big roach and a bit of tobacco right down the end by the roach so as not to waste any of your mixture. Enjoy :) Does the trick every time.

The stuff we get here in the UK now is shit, full of bits of crean wrap and god knows what else.Speak for yourself. I couldn't get soapbar even if I tried but can always get charas, pollen or skuff if I want it. Too much bud is everywhere and it's just completely knock you on your ass mashed all the time ultra hyper hydro shit which is nice sometimes but is no fun after a while. I can't get hold of mellow grass it's all hectic killer bud. So lots of people I know don't smoke the skunkweed anymore as it's too heavy mentally and so will only smoke quality hash. Too much grass is grown without love just as another 'product' to get you dribbling, I'm rambling again and don't quite know what I was talking about in the first place rah :)

[2cesarewild]

rofl, you get "good" hash but the nugs you get are stronger? makes no sense.

[peacelovebarefeet]

It doesn't really matter if its sophisticated or not, lol ur smokin hash!!! :D

Hot knives (to me) are the absolute best way to smoke da hashish... I got so high that everything was blurry, and I could not drive worth a shit. I tried, but then I pulled over and went to White Castle, hahaha

[steffan]

I get nanana nanana's from friends in the uk about there hash, the stuff we get here is either keef that has been shaken untill it is green and then they add oils or bake it untill it darkens. or its just pot, chemicaly broken down and compressed.
a ,umm, freind of mine got tired of buying seeds once and decided he was gonna grow a male and seed his own. when the little dude served its purpose it was thrown into the keefing wheel with a few of its sissters. now that was hash like i remember from high school.
P.S. it was a bad idea, the results where near disaterous, pot pollen is just so damn lite and sticky he would have needed some very extreme measures to keep it from getting where it didnt belong

[buffoonman]

nanana nanana's whats this mean.

[steffan]

Na na na, nanana my hash is better than yours

[buffoonman]

Nobody in the UK would claim the Hash is good as it isn't. Its £40 an ounce and who knows whats really in it. Its soapbar eurohash give it to the dog.
What ever happened to the Sputnik in the good old days.

[The Reverend]

rofl, you get "good" hash but the nugs you get are stronger? makes no sense. Hash and grass have very different effects as you will know, different types of hash and bud can be very dissimilar to other kinds of hash and grass. It's not case of being 'stronger' as to having a different effect if we're going to get anal. Too often skunk can be very head hitting and schizy, most people who get paranoid and generally go a bit funny have usually been smoking skunk for a while. If I'm smoking charas all night I might be obliterated but in a very different way, it doesn't compare to bud at all. I'm not explaining myself brilliantly here but hey, I'm hungover.
At the risk of sounding a bit of an asshole, when was the last time you smoked charas over thar in the states?? Trust me I've been smoking it for a long time, still do and *I presume* you don't have a regular supply of it so I have more experience with this than yourself, no disrespect intended. Hash and grass are different end of, it's all strains and grades and bullshit really. Just get stoned on good quality produce :D peace

Nobody in the UK would claim the Hash is good as it isn't. Its £40 an ounce and who knows whats really in it. As I said before, speak for yourself...

[buffoonman]

I've been smoking many years and have very seldom seen charas in the UK. Many years ago occasionally you got nepalese or kashmerie. 99% is soapbar thats a fact any smoker in the UK will tell you. If I or any other grower were to make some charas it certainly would not leave a tight knit group of friends.

[The Reverend]

Maybe it's just a regional thing but where I am (Brighton), if you know the right folks there's a lot of charas, nepalese, various moroccan grades and sometimes iffy afghan about. I don't want to come across as some 'yah look at what great smoke I can get I must be super cool obviously to tell the internet about it' type, just telling the truth. With all the hippy types down here you're a lot more likely to find *proper* hash than skunk every time even though in the bigger picture skunk is more popular.
Sometimes it's hard to sell decent hash because all the crackhead kids want their zombie schizout fix from smoking skunk and will turn down hash through ignorance.
That said I need a little variation, smoking one thing all the time is boring and I can get as sick of hash as I do with weed. As a grower you wouldn't be able to make charas unless you have fields and fields of pot and a few years spare, it's a complicated process to do it traditionally. Like I said I couldn't score soapbar even if I wanted to but I've got top drawer hash coming out of my ears, it's just the circles you move in etc I spose. No ill will. Peace

Hash and grass have very different effects as you will know, different types of hash and bud can be very dissimilar to other kinds of hash and grass. It's not case of being 'stronger' as to having a different effect if we're going to get anal.Sure depending on whether the plant you're smoking or the plant used to make the hash was more indica versus sativa, then you get different effects. The fact is, hash has more thc in it than buds do. That makes it stronger.

Too often skunk can be very head hitting and schizy, most people who get paranoid and generally go a bit funny have usually been smoking skunk for a while. If I'm smoking charas all night I might be obliterated but in a very different way, it doesn't compare to bud at all. I'm not explaining myself brilliantly here but hey, I'm hungover.That's probably because you're smoking sativa buds, and charas made from indicas.
At the risk of sounding a bit of an asshole, when was the last time you smoked charas over thar in the states??The last time SWIM made some.

Trust me I've been smoking it for a long time, still do and *I presume* you don't have a regular supply of it so I have more experience with this than yourself, no disrespect intended.No offense taken, but really, charas is the lowest grade hash. It's inherent in the process. Most people here don't bother wasting the time and toil it takes to stand out in their fields rubbing buds all day to get tiny balls, when they can get better yields and higher quality product doing bubble or even dry sieve.

[peacelovebarefeet]

I'm all about the bubble bags.... thats the way to go, and dont fuck with 2cesarewild, cause he knows what he's talking about!

[2cesarewild]

lol thanks but i don't think he's 'fucking' with me peacelove we're just chatting it up.

[buffoonman]

Agreed if I were to make hash it would be via the ice (bubblebag method.) Reverand if you don't mind me asking what do you pay for charas and what country does it come from. My point being charas is not a very economical method of production hence not many commercial ventures bother with it. The only people i can see making it are in far off lands (nepal, India etc) and then only in small amounts. Its a lot easier and cheaper for dealers to ship over weights of soapbar from Holland.) Once in a while somebody may come back from travelling with some but the only person I ever met that got charas more often was a Pakistany who imported novelty goods from Asia.
Mostly though people keep the top draw charas in the place it was made.

[The Reverend]

Down here prices vary extremely widely (sorry for late reply only just noticed this post), sometimes you're paying as little as £70 on the ounce for nothing special just a squidgy dark hash usually pakistani or low grade indian. Tastes good in a pipe or chillum and does the trick but nothing special. Sometimes you are paying up to double that, £140+ for some nepalese grades, that you have to keep in greaseproof paper etc cos if you put it in a baggie it just sticks to the sides and you lose loads. With these sometimes people will only sell an oz or two at a time if there isn't a lot.
There are always grades in between and for something of a pretty decent standard (usually indian) you're looking at on average £90-£125 on the o. £15-£25 on the 1/8th depending on source. Moroccan will go from usually £60-£120 depending on the quality, at the mo I'm smoking some really lovely soft sandy stuff that crumbles real nice when you squeeze it between your fingers and that's £100 a go.

It is a lot easier and cheaper for dealers to ship soap over as you say yes but as I mentioned before lots of people I know don't like smoking bud at all and so want quality hash. And lots of travelling hippies here have their little circles (almost everyone knows everyone in brighton) so there's always mysteriously new batches coming in around the time people come back from india or a few weeks/months after when they get mailed large crates full of statues and sarongs etc, some people keep this up for years....

Out of interest, where are you that you find it so hard to score it???


PS People please stop PMing me asking for drugs. I can get hold of them, yes, but I'm not a dealer and why would I sort out randoms on the internet? Thanks

[buffoonman]

I grow my own so don't need to score. I do know Brighton has a big smoker community so I can accept what you say.

[2cesarewild]

LMAO PM's for drugs are teh suck.
