hi,
i have a new question for charas.
it will appeal less to the purist.
I would like to know if it was possible to know where to find a charas maker? or how to make one?
I would much rather do it by hand, and I'll try, but I have a hand disability, and I'm aware that I might not be able to do it, even though I'm very determine.
I read in several places that in India such machines were used. I never let my disability prevent me from getting what I want, for that I seek all possible alternatives

Bubble hash is not even in the same league as good true Nepali charas. I lived in Kathmandu for ten years and saw lots of charas.
I make seeds and get a nice bit of charas rubbing the seeds out of the buds with my hands.. i don't like the job, it makes my hands hurt, but the finger hash is a nice bonus !
I used to occasionally see imported Manali Charas in the UK... but not for some time.

I prefer charas too, a friend give me two different tola after a trip, was the best flavour, the scissors hash very good too. Bubble not the same, very potent but low flavour.
Good bonus
more work for better results

Importated charas in uk, you're very lucky, in spain it's impossible, just marocan dry and Spanish modern hash, it's very potent for a low price, but don't have the soul, the effect or the flavour of asian hash'sI prefer charas too, a friend give me two different tola after a trip, was the best flavour, the scissors hash very good too.

They don’t make much charas in Nepal anymore the best at the trade could make about 30 grams a day, once they learned more about sifting and the yield from the crop improved they made more sift in the villages, at least that is how it was in the 90’s when I was there.

Here's a sort of follow up video to that one. I dunno, I've always dreamed of trekking in the Himalayas, but I think Malana is hyped up and probably not a good place to visit. There are countless mountain villages throughout the Himalayas, so I guess one most search for what they seek. I grew one of these Himalayan strains a few summers ago and as enticing it was to try and rub some, I ended up just making bubble hash.

Interesting, the "age-old tradition" of hand rubbing was taught to them by some Italian guy called Galeno.

I'm don't want contrary you, but I have read every titoon trip, they make some much charas, dry sift too
I think now in India go to be difficult find original charas, the Landrace are contaminated by modern pool, but i read in Nepal continue to make very good jungli, a tola of mid quality its 500nrp (~4€)

It's like zerozero in maroco, Malana it's not a true millenary charas making, i think more original in kumaoni or urtakhand, Kashmir(sorry if i write bad) and generally in NepalInteresting, the "age-old tradition" of hand rubbing was taught to them by some Italian guy called Galeno.
In the days before the hippies went to Nepal all they made was charas, now they make way more sift than charas at least in the 90’s, maybe charas is making a comeback. Most of my friends over there have left or died so I am out of the current loop…

I remember him from strain hunters. They deported him not long after, although I don't think the two events are related.Interesting, the "age-old tradition" of hand rubbing was taught to them by some Italian guy called Galeno.
Italian suspect in drug trade arrested near Malana
The Kullu district police arrested Galeno,an Italian in his 60s,for staying on in the region although his visa expired in 2008.

I was given a 5 gr or so ball of charas in St Lucia a few years back,,,A spliff of Jamaican charas . . . that was my wake & bake every morning for a week on a trip to Negril many, many years ago.
Edit: Although they called it gum.
Dreads didn’t like it and passed it over when I went to collect some herb,,,
Wasn’t there “ cup of tea” apparently,,,,,
