Hey guys, some amazing pictures in here.

I don’t want to divert the thread but wanted to ask you guys from Africa a quick hash question.

My friend said he could get me some Somalia hash, I got 7g to test it out, To me it looks like afghan black, not quite as dark, it has the same consistency. i would say the flavour and high is more of a Indian charas.

Do you guys know if Somalia even produces any hash? Or is it more likely that it just came though there on it way here? The guy he got it from was positive it was Somalia hash so what do you reckon? iv never heard of it before

Thanks

Somalia is very close to the northern hash producing regions, i dont think it came directly from somalia homwgrown, but perhaps down the east coast of africa to land in our pipe in South Africa. Tastes like indian charas, enjoy it.

Thanks lowrider.
Hey smokeyjedi. Afghan consistency hash can be made with any plant really; It is in the method. You basically stroke buds all day long (that sounds really weird) then collect the residue on your hands at the end of the day or the next morning; it is basically like scissor hash.
Here is a little curing bud from a bonsai I had:

Hey base

thanks for the info, I mainly smoke hash so I was surprised when he said it came from Somalia, I just never heard of any African countries producing hash commercially, the guy I get it from can get lb's regularly so I figured it cant be home grown.

Its very interesting stuff, up high like the Indian charas iv tried. it kinda tastes charasy,
i used to be able get some ice hash called Jamaican gum, it has a very similar flavour to that, But it defiantly not bubble. looks very much like afghan gold seal.

I just wanted to find out its origins as the guy was convinced it came from Somalia, I suspect that’s just what he’s been told, I don’t like to get into debates with people even if i know there lying,

i keep my grow/smoke knowledge to my self lol, don’t want anyone asking how i know so much lol, stealth

Thanks again

None of my kwazulu seeds germinated! In the past few months out of 40 or fifty seeds only about 5 haven't sprouted, and three of those were the kwazulu. Bummer, it looks like an awesome plant! Put up a smoke report after you harvest, maybe I'll have to try again...
I lived in the drakensberg mountains just south of Lesotho for a little bit, I'm looking for some of that fiery quick finishing sativa...something to elevate on!

i'd love to know what in the hell kwazulu really is. i live in the region of Kwazulu natal and i have been smoking for nearly 20 years now. i have never seen any land race plant like that down here ...

Hello!

I apologize for writing in this thread, but I don't know where I can ask you.

Do you know where can I get or buy a plant of catha edulis (khat)? I'm not interested for seeds because I bought the seeds, but germination was not good and the seeds was expensive.

A internet store or something? I know that this plant is very popular in Africa.

Thank you for answers and greeting from Poland

PS: Khat is legal in Poland
