No new stuff to show, but I've been learning new things about hash, the afghanis and other people apparently heat the hash for a longer period of time, 30-60 minutes, to make the resin "melt" together, gain other chemical components by the heat/pressing treatment and to decarboxylate the THCa into THC, so when smoked it actually gets more potent.
It also gets more easy on the lungs, especially when it has been stored properly for a year or 3, then the resin kind of absorbs impurities, depending on quality of start product.

I've posted this in other threads but not in this one. It shows exactly what Quiet Riot is talking about. My friend I watched the video with almost jumped out of his seat when the guy kept leaving it on the burner, worried about the heat breaking it down. I don't know if it makes it more potent but it certainly changes the chemistry and flavor of the hashish.

Hygiene issues & very recent trip to Amsterdam

Hygiene issues & very recent trip to Amsterdam

@haze*ekiel420

Don't know if I got you right but just to be sure again with another try: this 'wet sand texture' you are refering to I know too but doesn't aplly to those eggs ; it's indeed wet and dry while the wet sand is indeed more wet. Hope that makes sense, sorta.
Agree on the beewax probably but one really has to be careful when unloading that shit(pun intended)and put off the wax.

@Quiet_Riot

Enjoy your cream then ; do it yourself is (almost)always best! At first in more detail, consciously at least, heard of that approach from this Frenchy Cannoli guy(though for sure he probably didn't invent it but makes a point, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi0i_rXVId0 ).
As far as I understand that guy in his opinion it's the only type deserving the name hashish as this name needs processing of some kind but not too sure
if I would be that anal but respect his approach of course. Each to their own, right? Personally enjoy all types of resin, especially gear kissed by the sun though.
By the way I think Pengaleng did the same a while ago

@Therevverend

All right then I say my part too again but leave it at that(there is always a context in real life). Above all I have to point out that I despite what context I talk about I basically agree there is some risks involved with those eggs. Though:

I read about this article a few days before my rant about internal smuggling in general.
Cute little propaganda me thinks. 90 samples, right?
That's what I call quantity and being representative then.
Bet if the same article would say this drug is doing what ever to a consumer in a very negative way with 90 probands to prove their claim already a lot of people would have jumped on it.
However, I don't want to qualify my own comment or the risk at all(and this is hard to prove either I know)but as I said as long as you are in good health not a problem at all, also occassional use considered(though as a passionate hashish eater I never cooked with it and that was from the very first egg I ever got. Call me naive but that's where I personally draw the line).
If one has to consume or claiming this drug to be a medicine(which it is but I strongly doubt most users use it as a medicine but recreational use for some reasons)then you have to look for other sources.
Though I'm afraid one will struggle to find something harmless regarding any traditional hash apart from the eggs from a medical point of view as first of all it is illegal and
driven by profit.
Gear is in general not produced in sterile environment(medical weed in the Netherlands get disinfected after harvest but as far as I understood this this kills terpenes(?)and stuff as well) as I would sorta expect from medical gear I could get at a chemist.
Too gear also is handled(pun intended)by a couple of hands before the consumer gets it in the end.
Where it was stored? How it was smuggled? On a ship? Plane? Car? Where placed? Wrapped of course(medically approved I know). Needless to say people involved in this illegal trade rarely have a health certificate and know how to be responsible. Not necessarily on intention of course. Another dilemma me thinks.
Also studies about wares sold at dutch coffeeshops(grass/hashish)came up with similar results(fertilizers, bacteria), again because it is all illegal mostly.
Too reminds me of this hysteria when it comes to scrupulous cleanliness when I take a look at culture overseas(no offence intended)
with their overly cleanish ways(and it is a fact that there are significantly more cases of allergies than in other countries due to overly use of detergents and shit)- well, ultra clean bodies, cars and houses but also clean air, water and energy(nuclear power plant, anyone?
What is your organic weed/food worth as long as we have places like Chernobyl and Fukushima still contaminate our atmosphere worldwide, let alone nuclear weapon tests and all that and of course air pollution from traffic and waste in general. But: only twenty million years on average to go to get rid of nuclear waste respectively stuff is degraded)? Easy.
Or growers I knew giving a shit about their health, eating fast food on the average, no sports and crap but they grow organic weed and are much proud of it ; thinking it will save them.
Right so even but when I try to see the bigger picture I think their effort is not enough.
Middle course, anyone? I'm for that and I know you have to start somewhere but again hiding in one's bubble with a clean house with organic weed and even food is a somewhat start but just not enough. You have to breathe and all that, haven't you? Just saying no offence intended.
Not to forget most medical men(and talking about still reputable ones)will always find something fishy within anything as has to do with the thing in itsself(approach ; read: they live in their own bubble)but am still a realist not looking at things through rose-coloured glasses.
There is no safe drug use only harm reduction(see patients/recreational users).

By the way:
what about hand rubbed charas? All those hands involved! I can only hope they wash their hands and all that but they sweat nonetheless and all that.
Rarely read if at all that someone found that overly disgusting and I bet I could imagine what medical men would think about it.
Not the same but similar problem, a potential risk to
patients. But again what about people being in good health?
Questions upon questions.

Back to the eggs: I think it is difficult to treat them right even when they are sealed properly. If sealed with lots of clingfilm(or what ever, maybe condoms and cut rubber gloves are way better) I tend to think this is only reducing a bit of risk and even if you soak it in alcohol or what ever solution to clean them up bacteria and stuff will go through this clingfilm at one point(probably depends on the time they spend in the body). If waxed this might indeed help as Haze*ekiel420 mentioned.
Probably a matter of time frame, the less the better.
So this is all roulette when consuming those ones? I'm still sceptical about it those ones can put people being in good health into critical condition unless
there is a proper representative study coming up no matter if people try to tell me it's common sense something is wrong with those eggs and that's why to be avoided like the plague(pun intended).
Not to forget some people do it right for sure but how to tell?
No, as an adult I just take the risk for 'reasons' shown above, again moderation is the key.
Personally taking care of myself but not in an extreme, overly way. If others disagree I respect that ; each to their own.
I know all been said is very ambivalent but can't explain it any better.
Still again all good points for legalising though. Take care, no offence intended.

However, last but not least just returned from a trip to Amsterdam(see here)and thought I stick that very good Gorillaberry(foreign genetics from Morocco)up here I found in town. 1xuntouched, 1xopened, 1xopened&flash ; first picture contains a bit of fluff from my jacket not the fault of the coffeeshop(Note: that lighter is an harmless inside joke:biggrin:):

It also gets more easy on the lungs, especially when it has been stored properly for a year or 3, then the resin kind of absorbs impurities, depending on quality of start product.

Indeed, in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well the resin is always literally cooked before being pounded into the dark goo we all know about . When I was in Upper Chitral I was told about a guy who, when comes the season (winter), would go from village to village, bringing along with him a special stone mortar & pestel used to cook and pound the garda into charas.
Cooking is usualy done right before using, or to prepare the product for export.

It might sound like a no-no, but as a matter of fact there is no better way to prepare your Afghani charas (for joint smoking, that is) than setting the piece on fire until it melts. If correctly done, it will turn into a thick powder that can be easily and homogeneously mixed with tobacco (those thin sausages that are fun to made are the most wastefull way to do it), and allow a perfect vaporization of the goodies, both cannaboids and aromatic terpens, providing a smoke that is immensely superior both in terms of potency and flavours to any other type of joint.


Well, as for the reason why I originally stopped by this thread...


Last Feb, I was peasantly surprised to have the opportunity to score some really fine hash which, shame on me, I took some time to identify. Probably because of the texture, which wasn't theone I'm used to with this type of material.
Anyway, what I first thought to be, and was told so, some nice Moroccan bledia turned out to be some Red Leb actually. This spicy-honeyish-pineyish-shortbreadish flavour along this body high which just wraps your whole body in a warm coton-cocoon, mwaaaaaaaaaaaah, Moroccan hash doesn't do that, but Red Leb sure does! This one was denser, stickier than the usually fluffier Red Leb I had came accross so far.
Just superb, total bliss for the hash-head that is me :p

Alas, it was available (at usual price, 5e/g more or less a few cents) only for a week, not because of low stock, but because the people freaking COMPLAINED about it!!! Some about the taste, some about the effect, you darn stupid dope heads ! Seriously can you believe that??? I was as baffled as enraged, really. Looks like the majority has become accustomed to the industrial good but soul-less stuff that is all around.

Anyway, enough yap, here a few pics. On third one, the yellow material on the right is of unsure origin, it could actually be some medium grade Blond Leb, it was bought from a different source and quite different from the usual material from Morocco.

Lots of nice pics and good info in this thread lately.
@NotYourSaviour - thanks, you are 100% correct on the 'probably was either more blonde before transport' front. I got another 50g block which is exactly the same (dark one bit smaller as seems to have shrunk) but was not affected as much by heat in transport. The flavour and buzz are completely different, the blonde has a skunky taste and the buzz is more in the head. (pics below)
As for the pressing I just pressed 5g in my hand and not with bottle of boiling water. I couldn't really tell the difference but having seen how much the blocks I have posted have changed I believe heat can make a big difference. Enjoy your selection, looks tasty.

Irie! :wave:

Thank you for the sharing of this interesting information, it's so very important.
Those chunks looks good, I love those warm-blanket high! Too bad people complained so it disappeared, typical, right... Pretty reasonable priced as well, but everything is expensive here, unless you cut a few middlemen. The Ketama Gold is a little under 3 euro pr g.

@Quiet riot

Could u compare the hash before and After Pressing if u find the Time.. looking Good! I personally am allways afraid to heat Material because i am scared to destroy thc, terpenes etc.
Decarbing etc. I Never tried but Read about when i Wanted to make e juice. But skipped the whole experiment ��

Take care

I know the feeling of being anxious about heating hash/resin, I feel the same way when people press rosin �� also worried me a tiny bit with the Ketama, but had to try it, Frenchy was a part of my inspiration as well, he's passionate about this!

When you know the different temperatures the different components atomize or combust at, 100° C for 30 min. isn't that bad, especially like this, when it's wrapped in food grade cellophane and a ditto plastic bag, it's harder for it all to vaporize up in the air.

I'm vaping some of the decarbed now, have vaped the non-heated the last few days, which seemed to lack something in the high, flavor and cloud density.

The decarbed tastes better, and makes a bigger cloud, it also feels more potent, both head and body wise. The high and bodyeffect seems to last longer.
I don't know if it's just me/placebo, but I missed this cooked stuff when the last pres ran out.
The scent of the fresh slab is very nice as mentioned before, when heated it gets a little different, but still more or less the same, some sharpness seems to disappear, gaining a more well rounded scent and taste.


@Quiet_Riot

It most certainly is, would love to grow the resin also, hahah!
I also smoke what's good and available, used to prefer the light/golden slabs, which is also a freshness sign, I guess, but this heating treatment is nice and different, I prefer good herb, but the hash/resin is well needed most times, when no homemade resin isn't available, and it does the job quite well as long as it's as pura as possible ^_^

Frenchy is one of my latest sources of inspiration, he's a nice teacher, would love to try one of the year aged templetype balls. 15 years ago I had some so-called Super Afghan, it was literally mind blowing for a long time, it was more or less same consistency as this heated Gold, it might have been aged, don't know, but it tasted deliciously.

I think you're correct in the hashish area, most slabs are 50-100 g drysift poured into a small plastic bag, not hashish like the afghans have tradition for, some heat the slabs as well, some of the dark ones have been treated like this, via the pres or whatever, or have oxidized, or are very dark resin. So many options... ��

Just so it not all these quotes taking up space, here's a pic of the chunk I heated and pressed yesterday.

I would love to get some of those hash slab labels. Make a very cool collection.
Hash never comes around here. Biggest chunk I ever seen was probably around 5 grams.

Link & Latest Offer

@Jayd


Looks up my alley too that blondish one.
I think Doktoren posted the
same(?)slab a few weeks ago.
However, your picture is doing the quality
more justice in my humble opinion.
One thing for sure though: please enjoy that to the max,
both of you, cheers!


Firstly, wanted to provide this link since ages:

من يحقق الثراء من الحشيش المغربي؟ -


Who's Getting Rich From Moroccan Hash? - a new documentary report(English Subtitles).

[spoiler alert: small review coming:]
Note: while it is not focussing on production of hashish
in the Rif but the criminal background of the trade
and smuggling it is well worth watching in my
humble opinion as at least
for the main topic itsself well-researched ;
even though for people into that
matter maybe not so much but there are
a few interesting new details.
Especially as lots of people don't know
respectively don't want to know about this cruelty
and not to forget I tend to preach about that often
and consider myself as a consumer as part
of the problem ; though I know boycott is almost
pointless as it is all about the omnipresent greed
for profit in this great social order we all live in
to some degree leading to such a scenario. So at
least another strong call for
legalisation/liberation/regulation of not only
this drug but all of them.
Well, documentary report pointing this
out more or less again is the best part to me
apart from some mistakes included such as
my personal
favourite quotes here like
'These are grown from Kritikal seeds
also known as 'Amnesia'',
'Now illegal investors from Europe are supplying
lowland farmers with seeds that have
been genetically modified‘ and not to forget
the terrible part about that self-regarding spokeman
respectively staff of an
Amsterdam coffeeshop chain or the fact
the journalist often jumps between the term
of 'hashish' and 'cannabis' ; also creating an
impression hashish is still big profit at dutch
coffeeshops while most of the cannabis they
sell nowadays are buds,
also they don't mention at all Spanish Social Clubs
since some time involved too, let alone
spanish gangs operating since ages and
supplying the illegal market. Other nations as well.
Too they don't come up with a
conclusion – at best between the lines –
how this problem should be solved.
Liberation again, anyone? But what is one
expecting from a documentary report
provided by the BBC, lol?
Balanced reporting, anyone?
And please don't come up with
'Make up your own mind it's all about
inspration not suggestion‘ in this case.
All in all still as said worth watching to
keep all this cruelty in mind at least.
'Nuff said![end]

Secondly, just picked up some hashish
at one supplier. The blondish piece had a sticker
on saying 'Naymar'(sic!)but isn't certainly a
top grade nor high grade but for sure a
mid-grade coming with a pronounced classic
earthy taste while having an uppy buzz
and was the best allround product to me
compared to two other more quality classics
ones available but for stupid money
this time for some reasons while only
being the more or less usual high grade.
I'm good thanks and not desperated.
Maybe this 'Naymar' is not just another
proof one can't mostly trust those stamps
and prints but a hint for this being
a 'top mid-grade', haha(also too useful
for contrast in every way possible, see pics)?
On the other side got this creamy reddish
egg there as well coming with a clean
classic smell, taste is sorta minty-earthy
and smooth on the throat, a pleasure.
Effects are nice enough, relaxing and uppy
if that makes sense. Would like to get more
of that but of course limited again.

Hey dude :tiphat:

Its definitely the same 50g slab. The one I had were a bitch to crumble, and not a very strong high imo. But a nice smoke during the day :biggrin:

I found a new one, the same size as the previous. Its way better and have a nice high and taste.



Take care out there.

only just seen your pic @doctoren, does look exactly the same slab. been dry for hash for a little while around my way and wasnt a lot of this. paid more than i would of prefered to be honest but my mates friend is never cheap for the better stuff. been amnesia lemon and couple other new type hashes about but i prefer the more classic types.


@notyoursaviour to be honest i dont really smoke much anymore and prefer the darker more indica hashes as only smoke at night time. nice to smoke the blonde during the day every now and then. not tried this one yet. nice pics not come across any eggs for a while

Another Soft blonde 50 and new 12. The 12 is nice similar to the kushberry I had - sandy texture that quickly softens, skunky/hoppy and hashy flavours.
