The colour means nothing.

Dark hash, light hash = if it's good, it's good.

Hash that's just been pressed will be very light brown, goldeny colour. That's just the colour of the trichomes.

Darker hash has had heat used to make it, and it's darker because it's oxydised.

You cant tell the quality of hash by colour.

What you can do, is look at it. What does it look like?

If it's got little specs of green in it, or anything else like that, it's not pure enough. Good hash should have nothing but trichomes, no plant material at all.

Sadly, some people put actual pollen in it too, from the male plants. The pollen has no THC at all, they just use it for filler.

Normally hash is about 2 times stronger than bud, some hash will be better, some will be shit.

Remember, hash has got a slightly differnt high to herb - much more slow and mellow.

I'd say give it a miss for awhile, then buy again at a differnt time - you might get lucky and be surprised.

At least you dont have to worry about SERIOUSLY bad hash like the UK. Soapbar is full of plastic, oil, wax and hay. Anything to bulk it out. It's disgusting and only about 5% THC.

I think, if you got any left, give it ago on it's own when your completely sober. And very quickly flame it just before you smoke it. Seriously quick though, you dont want to burn it at all!
