So a bit late[did anyone say Crimbo commitments?]some pictures from our latest trip I posted about here closely before festivities in A'dam. Hope everyone – if celebrating – had a lovely time with family and/or friends! As per tradition these days I had to take a picture of lonely but lovely Dam again!
One on the left is showing second best blondish resin with foreign genetics this trip, a very balanced product is all I can say. One in the middle is the winner of this trip and a strong one, especially effectwise. One to the right is a supposedly tripple filtered traditional Moroccan hashish which was something! Resinous piece of loveliness ; had to cut it for whitish interior!
As a sidenote: I reported about a filtered version of traditional Moroc a few months back from an other shop and this take here was very similar and genuine high grade.
If these are a foretaste of things to come count me in.
Funnily we picked up the best traditional resin again privately and you know what? When we saved this blonde goodness for a wake and bake we were bloody surprised by its strength. I mean very strong flavour we are already used to there but this time it was stronger than any Moroccan classic hashish I ever encountered ; almost as strong as many of the strong filtered ones. As I said I appreciate surprises big time!
Easily the best traditional one of that trip. While taste is a bit muted though still particularly strong and I can live with that as all in all too a lovely balanced product taste- and effectwise. Wonder if this was filtered again, have to ask next time as it only was said it is the usual gift for the festivities. Sorry, no pictures.
Seems this mentioned filtered version of classic lineage is doing its rounds at coffeeshops now in town and elsewhere. Will see what happens next and maybe it even helps to maintain those genetics all products considered available on the market of hashish and grass!

No offence intended but hard to decode your posts sometimes though I think I figured it out: yes, there is a somewhat standard now when it comes to those 'filtrados'. Many taste very similar despite being a high grade product ; unique ones more difficult to find. Though as I said before this is to some degree another first world problem as you could say the same about certain qualities from traditional hashish producing countries[where it is also difficult to find stand outs among omnipresent commercials]. Would prefer not to consume anything below after all this years so a lovely standard anyway.
Yes I heard about the plans of Germoney and if legalisation would become true I hope for a strong domino effect when it comes to Europe/Western World and hopefully not to forget the rest of the planet! As far as I'm informed only Canada and Uruquay is currently fully legal. Any country is welcome to join this me thinks!
Wouldn't have expected any movement from this area so hopefully not only warm words as I've read there are still some serious hurdes but time will tell. Switzerland is cooking something up for next year as well[very keen experiencing this considering climate, history and general approach] but this is more of a trial respectively study. Luxembourg claimed something similar a few years back and Nederland already planned official wiet[study, no legalisation] from the goverment for this year as reported before but due to Covid or what ever nothing happened yet.
Haven't heard anything new also.
Saying this, no matter where they will legalise across this planet I will probably never stop to travel to Nederland[as I know and appreciate people, culture and stuff anyway apart from the obvious which is just a bonus] and elsewhere if there is traditional goodness to be had on site, even a legalisation across Europe would not fully satisfy me as I'm looking for that type of resin so Morocco has to legalise as well so it is officially possible to import their product to legal countries[I'm very sick of grey areas, see outdated coffeeshop approach I preach about since an eternity].
This would be heaven.
Personally not at all interested in grass anymore if legal or not and merely a substitute to me as reported before but each to their own, huh[even would go that far saying I'd end up producing my own sift again if I get the opportunity which in fact is only meeting my standards and again to be brutally honest others and me deserve a hell of a lot better quality as if one compares the traditional approaches with what is possible today hashwise in a more controlled environment it becomes clear that refering to the classic ones is a bit of nostalgia sorta ; one could even say those traditional ones are just primitive but for many reasons this comparison isn't fair. Consumed proper sift from indoor crops myself and the filtered ones lately are not too far away from this but proper own made is prefered most proabably. 'Nuff said!. Nonetheless I will always have a soft spot in my heart for those resins! Just saying!] ?
Realistcially speaking I will not see that happen[traditional producing countries legalising] while walking the earth but would of course love to be proven wrong! Apart from that even if other countries legalise it will be a longer way for people in the know to enjoy those upcoming products as first big corporations will jump on this train and have to learn a lot to grow proper grass if one is looking at places where it is legal already before small grower operations can partake[the majority of consumers will be happy and this is a wonderful thing but heads probably just not].
Nonetheless this is again only pedantry from my side as the most important fact coming with legalisation is that no one is doing time anymore due to this drug. Rest of aspects[quality]will follow slowly but surely!
However, fingers crossed you can visit the Rif next summer. If this fails you know where to go. Though I can understand leaving things behind, so enjoy!
Just my two cents again!
Since this year ends soon I think it's time for some narcistically reminiscence regarding 2021:
Looking back I think hashwise this was still not a good year supplywise at home. Still bored and disappointed about what's available and as intended even managed to mostly sticking to high grades. This means 80% of my riddiculous consumption I did on Dutch soil at trusted sources without much averageness which definitely was more costly but in the end more enjoyable as a very welcoming and important change of scenery.
At home only a few testings of what material arrived during the year. Also got my hands on steady organic and cured homegrown again as a substitute but not even had to use this often as it is just not doing much anymore for me for some reasons. Quite a good thing in my humble opinon consuming even more less, enjoying more. Even inspired some of our circle[we are all no medical users!] to do similar without preaching whereas others sticked to what mid-grades were available which is fine as well as again each to their own.
Nonetheless I hope for better quality, especially traditional hashish for next year but this still will take a while due to Covid but again slowly but surely most probably.
Will detox for at least a month from January as usual, hopefully even longer and then for sure see what's available 'everywhere'. See you then!
Last but not least: Happy new year to all readers and members of Icmag! All the best to you in what ever aspect of your life!
