How does hash smoke compare to bud smoke?

[chronicinjury]

Is "smoking" hash really just vaporizing resin?

 

[Space Ghost]

no, it actually does get smoked

However in a sense you are correct at the same time as seeming wrong. How so.
well vaporizing herb, is basicaly melting the glandular heads off the plant. WHile leaving all the vegatative matter behind. Hash itself is usualy the extraction of these heads using different methods, most consider a solvent extraction, or a wet water wash or a dry sift technique to be hash . HOwever hot air extraction is another form of hash extraction, its just been given the name vaporization> I find the high from smoking hash to be different from vaporization, however with that said. The only thing that can get me as high ( clear and cleanly ) as a phat bowl of hash, is some vapor hits.
My two cents


bubble man

smoke less, much higher.

smoke less, much higher.

I prefer hash and oils to smoking pure plant. Yes, the plant retains more of the flavinoids. However the additional carcinagins are what damages you in the long run. So instead of smo0king 20 joints a day. I'll take 20 tokes of bubble and find myself much better off.

So is it accurate in saying hash is better for your lungs since there's less burnt plant matter and tar? Besides, the flavinoids, what else is lost? Do you lose some of the amount you smoke (i.e. is making hash efficient)? Basically, why doesn't everyone just do that? (I'm thinking also that hash is probably much harder to detect by cops than the dried plants and takes up less space.)

It's great stuff. I don't have any experience with hash, but grinder kief is pretty similar from what I understand. I took one half bowl hit of kief from mids after a week long break today and it was one of the best stones I've had in months. I feel like it's healthier because there was much less smoke than if I'd smoked a bowl of bud.

Of course, if you're a real pot head you'll just sprinkle hash on top of a bowl

I believe yields on hash can range from 10-25% roughly depending on the method and the strain used, but hash is so much more powerful, and it's a totally different stone if you ask me. Like bubbleman said, much cleaner, but much more powerful. Gives a good kick in the ass and doesn't take much. Damn I can't resist that gooey stuff...

Oh, you don't lose ALL the flavor, but hash has a distinct kind of waxy flavor if that even describes it that I find very cool and quite delicious!

Bah..EDIT> Meant to say yields 10-25% roughly by weight....
