I'm sorry I meant to put "degraded" the myrcene not "decarbed"
No worries, I clearly read it wrong too as that's a terpene you mentioned, so I should of worked that out.

'Türk spesiyalite denemek istermisiniz?'
'Türk spesiyalite denemek istermisiniz?'
Back from another crusade in the name of holy resin. Visited some coffeeshops along the way and coincidentally
back then as mentioned in my previous post but more precice while looking at a menu where it was listed among high grade hashish.
After some hesitation due to things I already mentioned as well in my previous post I ordered some without expecting much, again due to things said above.
Since I take new stuff seriously I waited to try this as a wake and bake[very low physical tolerance]. Resinous more of a dark hard pressed piece and muted if minty smell.
Even bubbled decently and looked suprisingly nice enough under the scope for what it is. Still 'not ticking all the boxes' hashish to me but ambivalently in this case it pretty much was the turkish equivalent to a high grade classic Moroc of very similar handle.
While the taste was clearly noticeable my insufficient palate detected a wild mix of traces of mint, pine, spice and even cacao. High was pretty much of a creeper but in the end still weak on the mind and relaxing enough on the body, in a bong on a different occassion as well - another 'cbd high' keeping one alert particularly without much of tiredness when wearing off ; so similar to said type of Moroc but a bit weaker.
Despite the somewhat letdown in terms of high( still consuming to get high not to get occupied with consuming nor trying to get high ; each to their own but I still don't want to 'function' if you know what I'm driving at.)it was the best Turkish all in all I ever encountered.
Only had much lower grades in the past every now and then though and while again not an expert regarding Turkish I'd say this indeed was a high grade as advertised not something someone exhumed as stored in the basement or attic since ages[considering current problematic pandemic situation], though a more commercial one.
Lovely gear to try, am grateful, and typically landrace stuff it seems but I hope this won't be the new substitute for some proper resin from the Rif for a while as it seems this certain batch is doing it's rounds across the country but doubt that as exports from Turkey are more a rarity in the last decades, also counting in their current pseudo-religious madman being in charge over there not too interested in such 'haram stuff', let alone the general prosecution over there and strict laws apart from industrial hemp in the last decades reported to me by locals since decades. Who knows in the end though?
While we're on it of course I again tried to find out about current hashish drought and spoke to some people there.
Still prices for some Morocs are ashamingly high and most of the people in business are pessimistic, one Moroc told me lockdown there according to his family in Morocco lasts until April, 2021 supposedly. Psychics again, anyone, l o l?
General quality was a bit meh though as despite what was sold as high grade was still nice enough though one could notice they were remarkably less strong and tasty but often sold for nearly the same price as before.
All types shown in the pictures are what I'm on about and while looking nice enough they lacked something and with a choice not something I prefer ; in fact I didn't find anything I was really satisfied with and they are almost came across dodgy but I guess they're just bordering(?)hard on being a good mid grade sold as high grade[which again would be a hidden price increase then].
This dilemma also has to do with the foreign genetic ones often can't keep their promises first glance considered ; I mentioned that before in the past.
Also around here there just turnt up a fresh delivery from Morocco ; even got told from which route it supposedly came from. Riddiculously enough labelled with a sticker stating 'Marihuana', oh my, l o l.
That stuff is a more blonde one and clearly nice enough mid grade, price was relatively ok as well ; almost back to usual prices considering pandemic situation.
Also met one of my favourite sources and this one is well connected but unfortunately not often around as too busy since ages, however also dry regarding high grades ; also again got this impact[bust]confirmed having to do with the situation as well as Sandsmp81 mentioned the other day.
I'd wish said high grades[strength/still more intense taste] I purchased would come with the taste profile of the Turkish one but again one can't have it all.
Fingers crossed changes in terms of high quality coming soon but it still doesn't look good.
Picture #1-3: Turkish
Picture #4: opened up Turkish at centre, supposedly Moroccan high grades with foreign genetics to the left and right. The left one was one of the best this trip though, another 'Critical'.
Picture#5: other[3]high grades with foreign genetics supposedly from Morocco, the one on the left was also quite lovely for those crazy pandemic times at the minute.

Enjoy again! I always like to see the interiour of a batch though, too; )

They are most definitely making hash in Morocco.
I have seen the pics of this year's harvest and the plants it came from.
Some is made in Spain too as they are growing alot these days but mostly for flower/bud.

Weed is for kiddies .give me hash anyday.
Always enjoy reading your posts @NotYourSaviour
In near 30 years of smoking I've still never tried Turkish hash, got offered some once in Turkey about 20 years ago, but it looked sort of green and I was paranoid I'd end up in a police sting (think I've watched midnight express too many times).

Back from A'dam and oily piece shown below is the best traditional one from Morocco by a mile. Amateurish pictures as usual but doing the gear justice(funnily I refered to this very type when I reviewed the Turkish in my previous post).
Hard hashish coming with a galaxy of trichomes when opened up and shiny exterior ; taste profile is sorta focussed on pine and spice. Lovely enough effects relaxing the body while providing a blissful mental state.
All in all needless to say it‘s that category of 'ticking all the boxes' again, though had a tad better batches but would be more than happy if Santa would bring some.
On a side note I can tell there was much less traffic this time again and mostly terrible dreary weather.
A bit less time available to visit all intended ones for some reasons this time but luckywise we didn't need to visit too many places to find some quality.
Though nothing changed at all in regards to new imports from Morocco. Still half of the places blaming the other half talking shit as well as pretending they offer new imports while just mislabelling as usual.
What I see is a sheer overabundance of mostly mid grades supposedly from Morocco with foreign genetics or locally produced stuff from Spain and Nederland.
All in all nothing new so to speak.
At home also very recent was offered a blackish lump of 'Amnesia Lemon Limited Edition' which probably again was the stupid sticker on the slab. Very flowery smell and pricewise okish ; taste was there but not an interesting high so in the end another mid grade.
This and the gear I mentioned in my previous post are of that type nowadays which is falling apart when handled, one can't even form a ball but 'hey, it's soft, mate', yes
!
By the way forgot to mention this in my previous post as well: stuff from Lebanon is still around on menus though luckywise not overrepresented as merely mid grade as well.
@Sandsmp81
Cheers, at least someone is reading them then, l o l! May some Turkish cross your way someday! The experience in Turkey you reported about is then better safe than sorry I'd say. Many Turks I know warned against this.
While we're on it as we had a similar topic some posts back: while I know lots of Turks of all ages the majority of the smoking weed but only a few do hashish. When it comes to Moroccan people[though also Tunisians and Algerians)it is vice versa[except maybe in the Netherlands]. The same goes to some degree with people from Lebanon, Syria or Iran.
I take it in Turkey they also - similar to India and 'ganja' - had a strong culture with weed(though Morocs had 'Kief', question upon questions). Just my random two cents about pseudo sociology but I noticed this a lot especially as Ethnicities[Maghreb region and others] mentioned grow up in other countries as Turks too but stick to hash while weed is overly available.
@Jayd
Cheers. Is this the 'new school dutch generic maroc' you refered to at first shown in you picture? What is the interior looking like? I prefer this to some random slabs.
What type of quality is it?
@MickTheBrag / Mack10
I strongly doubt those 35 tons were quality and hopefully only sacrified for a much better run having gone through(but again I also doubt this looking at those numbers, l o l).
So let's agree on hopefully infrastructure regarding imports is semi-working until the end of the year again! Fingers crossed to all of you!

that pic is the vlad putin slab. i had another 1 as well. both had pics on. i carnt say 100% if its maroc grown/made buts its not traditional maroc. vlad putin is softer and more oily out of the 2. ive been too busy to try either but couple friends really like it. before lockdown i got a slab of amnesia lemon and it was very black and oily but i wasnt sure of it. i make rosin for a friend and have made with various slabs before and the amnesia lemon seemed very thin rosin and it was a nightmare to gather the rosin as it just didnt stick together like any others so perhaps some sort of filler mixed in with it.

I think everything now coming to the UK is mostly just these mid grade blocks, the standard has been set and people are willing to buy it, they're a decent smoke but none of them seem to have much character or any different buzz about them.
Even one of the guys I know who used to get a few nice grades of moroc like iceolator and gardella etc etc is mostly getting these same soft blond blocks now.
Seen some bars that had the label "free the weed" it just looked the same as everything else, soft blond with a bit of fragrance, there isn't much bubbling when held to a flame with these blocks either, I'd like to know wtf is in it, I guess a lot of plant matter but what ever the formula it does look pretty good to the untrained eye and doesn't smoke like soapbar.
I also haven't seen any eggs of a high quality for at least 2 years, seen some but they about a year ago but they just didn't seem the same as I remember.
I think whoever is making these commercial blocks is just making a product with the same strength as weed to compete with that market when they could be producing a far superior product.
Is there anywhere I can send samples of these blocks that can test their content?
