yes you can do hash with males but you need lots of leafs. the best way to do some nice fuckin pure hash, what i call finger, is by collecting the thing that is sticking in your fingers. it has a lot LOT of thc. the other way is some bubble hash. never did but looks really nice. you put cutted leaves in some cold water with ice and then u pick the bubbles and dry them. i dont really think that it makes a difference if the leaves are dry or not. correct me if im wrong anyone.

peace
