Afghanistan Today.

[Luther Burbank]

The Taliban has their claws mostly in the opium market these days. Far more profitable than hashish. There still has to be quality hashish being made as it was in the '70s, but I doubt that it's being made in anywhere near the same quantity.

They'll lose their market soon.....legalization is imminent a couple years here and maybe 10 max for entire US my opinion of course

Morocco keeps its best, exports lower quality

Afghanistan exports it's best, keeps lower quality

I found the relation to be related to economic status of country
Afghanistan is much poorer

apparently a clerk at a local store in afghanistan will make X amount, and by selling hash, that person doubles her pay days making 2X in a day

That's not true about Morocco, have you been there? It's a lot easier to find good Moroccan hash in Amsterdam than it is in the middle of the Rif (and I know several farmers there).

All the best quality is specially made for export, particularly to Amsterdam. Going to a Moroccan hash farm (when you don't know the owners) means spending hours there refusing lower grades, to hopefully get something reasonable! Half the time you end up leaving with nothing as it's too low quality!

About Afghani, the first time I got high back in the day was on some good red seal hash! That and also gold seal. Since then I've had a few good samples in Holland, but that's about it unfortunately.

There's something special about relaxing at night with a nice joint of decent Afghani

All this talk about hash..........is really making me want to smoke some. I save all the scrapings from my scissors and press it in a cheap pollen press I have. It tastes so good. Closest I can get to the real thing. I haven't seen hash on the streets for over 10 yrs......

 

[genedigger]

dude scissor hash is the bomb that shit gets me higher than anything else.dont knock your scissor hash i bet it rocks!

 

[stasis]

scissor hash unprocessed = charas..! Celebrate..!!!

Bubble hash is better than the imported concentrates, but the intrinsic flavors of each region's hash is what makes it interesting. Dry sieve is different than processed.

Henna and paraffin, as well as manure and other 'shizzle' makes the flavor of imported hashes what they are...

Been to AMS and Spain so many times, lost count. Love the hash, but other than RIFMAN's organics, and some of the better Asian hash (nepalese, I cannot replicate, etc)- I'm OK here.

I'll stick to my closed-system Triple Diesel hash and charas.

that's good shit and like mentioned above, you can make far better hash then you could ever buy.

Exactly the same experience here, first quality is really hard to come by.impossible if you have no solid contacts.The best Morrocan I had was in holland, by far...and I was born in Morroco...

 

[SoufLondon]

all of you people have access to fabulous hash- use the internet!

 

[zachrockbadenof]

that's good shit and like mentioned above, you can make far better hash then you could ever buy.

best hash we ever had was some (we were told) afgan in 1969/70... it was great... never have seen anything remotely as potent since, even in the 'dam ..we have been making hash for the last 10+yrs.. water as well as dry sieve... sometimes we use the popcorn, sometimes we use tops... either way, it does not compare to the hash of ago...

and todays weed is suppose to be stronger.. I think that's a CROCK..

 

[mack 10]

@ zach, What did you like so much about that 69 hash?
Effect?

You really think it was that good?

I wasn't even born back then so i can't really say anything but the 99% heads drysift
that i make in my kitchin is way better than any import i have ever come across.

 

[stasis]

The purity of well made bubble hash is far and away better than most imports. Especially Afghani Black hash, known for impurities. As for the flavor, well, some is strain specific. Some is climactic conditions - or the fact that much is sun-dried (maroc), as opposed to our method of curing and drying the flowers first.

There is a lot to be said for a Bit of plant material in the product adding flavor. Just a bit though.

I do not want to be forward , but the black hash from Afghanistan is the worst quality hash Afghanistan produces , basically trash . The afghan primo from 69,70 was a rich brown to dark brown it was imported mostly by the brotherhood of eternal love .I have had an acquaintance with cannabis for over 50 years , and have never seen that quality since .The flavor and aroma alone was enough to put you in an euphoric state ,and the high was devastating ..

 

[mack 10]

So another believer in the 69 hash.

I think these batches where indeed some amazing hash.
But I bet we could match it today.
They just have a few thousand years on us.

 

[Luther Burbank]

Mack, the evidence is that hash production isn't that old in Afghanistan, at least in regard to broad-leaf varieties we associate with Afghanistan. Maybe early 20th century when broad-leaves floated in from Uzbekistan.

We can definitely match what they did. I think part of it is making hash out of a diverse number of plants to get a more balanced product, and the other is variety. I wonder if despite increased productivity and potency whether we've muddled what used to be more distinct highs. I got some Afghani recently and it wasn't the strongest but it left you with your cheeks aching and then you realize you've had a huge grin on your face for an hour.

hey gekolite,,,,,
I am assuming your an "oldie"like myself and I remember the hash from the mid-late 70s so I hope you may have some insight into the hash that came speckled with white spots on the inside and we were told back then it was "opiated hash" ...
in your experience was that true? or just myth?,,
thanks mate,,
peace and regards s2

hey hydro,,,,,
thanks for that,,,,,i remember the hash we are talking about being very strong and you didn't get a lot for your money even in 78,,,,s2

 

[meltybubble]

Yeah man, I also remember this topic being discussed from time to time.
Also the strength in comparison to the leb, 00, 000. lol
The economic situation, army, invasion I believe led to quality falling.
Making quality hash they need the time etc, something the invasions
etc didn't help. Once realised people will buy crap unfortunately some sold
the lowest for the most cash, to get by.
I expect a lot was adulterated even back then, but no where near what's
I have seen around these day's.
Also people in the country its going too, mixing pressing.
A bloody sin I tell ya!

peace bro!
