more about hash.......

technically speaking, there is no one correct method to make haschish. all you need is the keif or crystals, then you need some way to compress it.

i wanted to add some other methods people out there might want to try.

sometimes, i take my keif, and i mix it with olive oil. not too much though, just enough to make the keif stick into a ball.

then i take it, and i put it in a pan on the stove. you can keep it in ball form, or smash it down.

if you keep it in ball form, you will have to move the ball so that it gets heated evenly.

go black. heat the keif ball/flat thing until it burns. really get it hot.

then....... take your burned keif ball..... put in a plastic bag...... and mash it up.

reform it. mixing the burnt part with parts that havent touched the heat will make it stick better, and plus it will lighten it up.

then let dry...and you have your hash.

YOU CAN EAT THIS TYPE OF HAS AND IT WILL GET YOU HIGH.

since i brought that up...... the only hash that you can eat, which will get you high, is keif that has been mixed with oil and given high heat.

other then that.....im not aware that eating keif will get you high, alone and raw. klind of like eating weed alone wont get you high.

............just wanted to mention this method, i know that haschish can be killer on your throat.... so instead you might want to switch to eating it to let yourself heal.

the only way you can eat it is if the keif has been mixed with oil, and given high heat.

ONLY EAT ABOUT A 10TH OR A QUARTER GRAM. any more.... and its spacewalk time.

like i was saying.... there is no correct way to make haschish.

you have to keif out the bud.

lets explore this method.

i like the moethod proposed using the coffee grinder. but i fear that some keif is lost, or left in the bud. something tells me you could probabally get more then you are already getting, but i might be wrong.

i do mine by hand, like i mentioned with a silkscreen from michaels craft store. basically i just force it through with the side of my hand.

as i do this, green black film forms on the side of my hand. this is what is commonly called "hand rubbed" hash. it is the most potent.

very potent. almost too potent. but not as potent as hash oil. thats neither here nor there though.

so i force it through the silkscreen i got at michaels craft store, causing it to fall onto a plate below.

you can tell when its about done. a quarter ounce or half ounce should take about 30 minutes from start to finish. when you see the weed on the silkscreen sort of deflate and look sorry, go ahead and look closely at the crystals in the weed. if you dont see too many, you are done.

so you have you powder on the plate below. collect the powder.

now you have to compress it.

here is what i know-

like i mentioned, you cna simply use your hand. try it first with a small amount of powder.

work it hard. form it into a ball.

once you have your ball, you can either put it in a simple hand crank vice, or you can heat water, put the little keif bal in a plastic bag, and dip in the water as it heats.

if you do the water thing....start out slow. dont dip it in on a boil.

dip, watch the condensation on the inside of the bag, then remove from water and hand press it.

repeat as much as you want, but if you go too hot for too long....it wont be good.

or, as i mentioned, you cna mix your keif with olive oil, not drown it, and then heat it directly on a pan.

like i said, burn the outside of it, then put in plastic bag, break up the ball, and reform. the burntoutside will help it stick together.

troubleshooting-

am not seeing keif fall through the silkscreen.

answer- do it harder. pres harder. it will happen. also, if the weed is a bit wet, it will takelonger then if the weed is perfectly dry.

-cant get the ball to form in my hand.

answer-

this is the tougest part of making hashish. there are a couple of factors. how much resins were in the weed? weed with more resins will be easier to form then weed which has few resisns. therefore, outdoor is easier to hand form the indoor, typically speaking.

its hard work. it will take persistence. the process is this-

at first, the powder sticks, but wont form a ball. it just flakes away. keep going. remember to keep it warm, and keep pressure. try to roll it into a cylinder.

you will know you have completed it correctly when your keif is not crumbly at all, and is in a fully formed ball.

its hard work.

-cant get the keif to stick together in a vice

answer- um...... do it repeadedly. it will start to get black as the oils come to the surface, sticking it together.

ideally, you should hand form, then when its still warm, put in the vice. if you just go powder to vice, it will take 5 or 6 crank downs.

oh! forgot to mention. if you take your powder, crank it in a vice one time, then try to hand form it, it will be easier then just hand forming from powder.

-i drowned my keif in olive oil. : (

answer- dont worry. all is not lost. simply take the olive oil with keif in it, and put in a pan on the stove. heat. watch.

when you see the olive oil start to dissipate, and the area where there was too much oil has now become maleable...... stop heaing and collect. it should be the consistency of..... wet sugar.

simply collect, and smoke. it will form together.

i spent alot of time on hash and haschish, hope this will help you guys and girls out there to have some fun.

peace out!
