Do you guys have any tips on how to recognize sopabar? things like, smell, taste, the way it burns etc....?
You can tell by its price. Around £40 an ounce. It takes a lot of burning then goes hard again as it cools down. If you were to see a quarter weight it is in the shape of a soapbar. It does get you stoned but the effects arn't as strong or as nice as good bud. I slag it of a lot but when I had no bud the other day i soon smoked it. About 20 years go when I was a kid its mostly all i smoked and I was happy with it not knowing any better. It has a distinctive perfume smell that is hard to describe. Its a shiny brown colour on the ouside and a dull browny/green on the inside. Easiest way to tell though is the price.
yup, buffoonman rounded that off pretty sweetly. soap bar is mixed with all kinds of shit, even ketamine in some batches. some of the shit in it may give a sudated effect. You need to smoke A LOT of it to get a hit but considering it's real real low in THC content, you'd be getting high off whatever else was in it. It's made by rip off merchants who get 1 bar of decent hash and 2 bars of turpentine, beeswax, caffeine and plastic (aka GAK which is DIRT cheap like 80-90 quid a bar) and mix the 3 bars together. the outcome will look crap but have a "bit of a tang" to it - and the dealer passes it off as 3 bars of genuine hash foir standard price. it's an evil fucking way of making money, and i hate any conning bastards that have any part of it. this is what the shit looks like. yuck.
Turpentine is used to wipe it with just to make it shiny. Some bees wax is used as a binding agent. Any plastic is missed bits where it has been repressed. Some of it isn't that bad. it will get you high. But if you have a choice get something better.
dude, it will not get you high. honestly, i've been lumped with half ounces of formula "weed" in the past and you just feel monged, lazy and you get a banging headache if you smoke enough to feel any effects. thc produces the high and this shit contains practically 0%. it even smells like chemical waste. and for christ's sake NEVER make it into space cakes because it can really fuck with your insides if digested. if you get high with this then you're obviously not familiar with a hash high.
okay it will BURN YOUR FINGERS. you need to burn it for a long time to soften it. by the time you've heated it long enough to soften, it will burn your fingers to dear fuck and stick to them. it sprinkles like dust, loads of small miniscule rocks. it isn't sticky at all (as nice hash is) and you're often left with a small ball in your fingers after sprinkling that is impossible to break down with your fingers or fingernails and so you need to either bite it into small pieces or get the lighter on it again. i've written that it smells like chemical waste and that's all i can comment on the smell. you see, there are so many different types of soap shite, so many different ways of making it that you can't really define a smell. i've smelt different types of soap bar, all smell shit but have their differences. usually bitter, and if you smoke a joint of it, you normally can't stomach the rest after half a joint coz of the taste. can i ask why you're asking these questions? do you want to try some of this polluted soap bar? just google soap bar and there's tonnes of information on it. you'd find what you want and more, so why don't you try researching a little??
hey psygrunge thx for your answer. No I am not asking coz I want to buy some soap, it's just that I wanted to know if what I've been smoking for the past 2 years is some good hash or just soapbar. I live in egypt. Here thee's no such a thing as getting different types of hash each for a different price. You useually just get what the delear has at the moment for a fixed price. which is about $8 for the piece in the pic. I ll just post a pic of some hash I bought a while back and tell me what you think about it.
PS: the guy I bought it form told me that this was "original morrocan". He's not the kind o guy that would lie to me oz I've been buying shit off him for qute a while, but it could still b possile that he has been lied to.
from that distance i couldn't really say. i've had weed that colour before that turned out to be good tooting, but i've also seen soap bar that looks like that.... however that looks like flatbar? it's unusual to find flat bars of formula around here but that's not saying they don't exist. around here though, flat bar is known for it's quality effects so if it's the same stuff, well in lad. as for the guy's comment, pah some dealers will feed you bullshit to get you to buy something. most hash is morrocan (hence the nickname "rocky"), and so when he says "original", what does he mean by it? to be honest though that hash does look on the dodgy side... ...but it's not in focus enough so i can't tell sorry!
honest after reading these replies and what i saw on the telly the other night Im never smoking this rubbish again. I always thought it was the amount of tobacca that gave me a pumping headache after smoking Q a night lol silly me. when I first started smoking in the 80's blow used to be good we even had plenty of choice of hash red/gold seal tempel ball and a hole manner of blacks,leb,slate and even proper rocky black but these days its mainly so called rocky black... dont even bother with it smoke bud or blow ya make ya self
luckily i can still get ahold of the good stuff, but formula is a disgrace to humanity. i wouldn't even advise testing it on animals.
Eeugh, formula is shitty stuff. I used to work in the heroin rehab industry, and we urine tested our clients twice weekly for all drugs. More often than not we'd find THC, but sometimes we'd have a client who admitted to smoking doob, yet tested totally negative for the stuff, so it was clearly formula crap. It was kinda funny, a bit of a running joke in the industry really, you'd think long term drug addicts would be able to tell the difference!
these so-called long term drug addicts were obviously gettin off on a placebo. i got angry and frustrated when i was lumped with a half of the gak. sometimes, i wish i could placebo myself.
