Im aware that there are different types of hash, what exactly are they though? I recently picked up a gram of hash, it was like a ball of play-dough/clay and sticky. I had always thought hash was more liquidy/oily, but I now know that theres a difference. So I'm leaving it up to my fellow bluelighters to explain the different types and differences between them. Thanks everyone!

You probably have some Charas on your hands.

Moroccan stuff is harder and darker in colour, you won't see any plant matter in it, generally speaking tho.

Soapbar etc, is more reddish in colour, Turkish hash is like that too. I think this is probably because of the henna they use.

Anyway, use your hash well. If it's good hash, it'll be very pleasurable to smoke, and you'll get a good high.

I really, really enjoy hashish.
 
I think if the hash is fresh it should be soft and sticky. Unfortunately where I live it isnt a common thing. There are quite a lot of different types though. Try checking out this online book on the subject its really quite interesting even if there is way too much info. RC Clarke Hashish

I reckon that unless you are near the subcontinent or perhaps amsterdam its probably not charas, apparently charas doesnt store all that well and is quite time consuming to make. The one time I saw charas in India it did have small particles of plant matter in it- not sure if thats a sign that it was not made as carefully as it should have been or what. It was like a big soft dark brown crayon with a lighter brown/gold colour inside. You would think that sieved hash would have less plant matter in it than hand rubbed charas though just because of the more precise screening? I suppose it depends on the skill of the producer.
 
i used to enjoy making my own kief from grinding various bits and bobs. in the end i had a vial full. (like one of those tubes you piss in for the docs). sometimes i would makes a 'penny' of the stuff just by placing it together using a large weight. made into a joint the stuff was lovely

You are probably right, and it isn't Charas. I don't know what made me think that lol

I had Moroccan Hash while visiting Granada Spain in the late 1990s. It was a tiny amount bitten off of a large golf ball size ball of hash that was a gift to me. It was hard and I smoked it in a pipe since I had bought one, and I didn't want to roll a spliff with it. I got a psychedelic high from it, and I think it was a Sativa. I ate it the next day and had a nice energetic mellow high but it was not like your couch locked Indica high. I've never had it since; but is most Moroccan hash Sativa or does it vary?

Friends of mine who were around in the 70s described Nepalese temple balls has anyone ever smoked any of that type of hash?

I bought some stuff in Amsterdam that was labled as "Nepalese Temple Hash" I think the probability of it being the real deal is pretty low. It was nice and relaxing but not couch lock at all. Could have been anything, I'm no expert on hash. Would love to go up there and try it. Apparently the north indian charas and nepalese charas are all made from sativas. It would probably be easier to buy a nepalese or north indian himalayan strain and make your own. (Not to mention cheaper)

Unless you are doing a solvent extraction, i.e Butane Honey Oil, then pretty much all hash is going to be 'Sativa.'

You got a different effect from eating it because, well, eating produces different effects lolz.

I knew someone who smoked hash back in the day, in Nepal. According to my friend, the production there changed hands, and the hand sifted stuff was replaced by adultered and cheaply produced stuff. A real shame if you ask me.

I'd think that most hash from Morocco is Sativa based. Don't ask me why, but most of the pot I came across in a country close to that region (well not too close, but close enough) was Sativa. Although.... indica dominated strains seem to emerge too, which is a shame really.

All this talk of hash... I need some lol

OK, so even hash made from Cannabis Indica would give a Sativa like effect when smoked? Is this because of the high THC content? I've never done any sort of extractions or smoked/vaporized hash oil, BHO, etc. or had Kif/Kief.

I had hash one other time and that was in the United States but this was decades before medicinal herb dispensaries, bubble hash, etc. and even hash oil and regular hash were not that easy to find as regular bud is. The hash I had here in the states was nowhere near as good as the stuff I had in Spain. :\ I was living at home with my parents as a teenager at the time decades ago, and my mom found the hash and threw it out which was OK since it was very weak. If I lived in a state that had medicinal dispensaries I would definitely get their high quality hash and smoke that or try to vaporize it.

I've never come across foreign hash, but here is my experience, from least potent to most potent:

Cold water/Ice extracted hash made using bubble bags (excluding kief, which is tumbled or screen-collected)

- Regular (cold water) hash that just burns, no melting, and leaves ash

- Half-melt (cold water) hash that bubbles and melts just a bit, but leaves ash

- Kief - ranges from greenish kief (weak, lots of plant matter), to super-amber/golden kief, which is quite potent.

- Full-melt (cold water) hash that fully melts and bubbles, leaves very minimal ash

- Full-melt clear dome, aka FMCD (cold water) hash that is the best kind of cold water hash, fully melts while making big bubbles (domes) that are, as the name suggests, clear in color

Solvent-extracted Hash Oil

-Isopropyl Alcohol Hash Oil - can be decent, but I would never smoke this, only use it for edibles

- Butane Hash Oil - includes shatter (bomb-ass, amber-colored oil), which could be whipped in to "wax," which adds air weight and makes it oxidize faster by making it unstable, but it is easier to work with your fingers. I would stay the hell away from any greenish or black BHO/wax, and unproperly purged oil and wax. A whole eighth of top-shelf, medical weed goes in to making a single gram of bomb BHO

Huh? Why? Do you mean all Moroccan hash? In Morocco that could be the case but you could make hash out of any strain. Pretty sure in Pakistan and Afghanistan and surrounds they use indica to make their sieved hash. Most of the indica strains we get in the west have their origins in the hashish production areas in that central asian region if I'm not mistaken. Not to mention Dutch hash- they use all sorts of different strains or Bubble/Ice hash as Ergic Mergic mentions which is done all over the place with whatever strain is on hand.

On another note how much starting material would one want to use to do a batch of bubble hash?

Yeah, we do have a lot of strains which descend from a lot of indicas from that region. If anything, I would think making hash out of indicas would be a more popular practice than sativas since indicas generally produce more resin (crystal, kif, whatever you call it).
 
The best I've ever had was whipped earwax hash, and it was made within the USA (specifically CA)... so... I respectfully disagree. This may have been true in the past, now? Nah.

Especially since discovering BL many years ago, making the best hash at home has never been easier.
 
The best hash I've ever smoked looked like tar heroin. It was full melt and it was from screened bud then he used butane to compress it. It was hard like obsidian glass but when it was heated a little you could stretch it out like bubble gum, then as soon as it cooled the slightest pressure on it would make it snap and break like glass.
To give you an idea of potency, I was smoking a gram of hemp star--very well grown--each session to myself to get stoned, so usually 2 joints or one two paper and I only smoked .1 g (in two 50mg pieces) of this hash per session, so 10x less. You'd heat it and snap off a little piece and lay it in the pipe and hold it sideways (90 degrees) and heat it a little so it would melt and stick to the side of the pipe. From there you would hold it on anyway from 45 to 90 degrees and put the heat on the metal underneath it but not directly on it, it would start to vaporize/smoke. You had to be careful it didn't run into the pipe, so the best was to put a little bit of bud ash at the bottom to make sure it didn't leak through.
The pipe came apart and after a few grams I'd screw the end out and it had this little dipstick thing so you could check the oil; I swear cleaning it was like changing the oil in a car. It was black and thick and had pretty much zero THC (tried to smoke it). That was the best shit ever, a Dutch dude in the dorm next to me used to make it for double the price of a gram of weed. It was actually better than a lot of bubble hashes I've smoked. I could talk about it all day. It got you higher than smoking any amount of bud could, usually any more than a quarter gram and I'd fall asleep. I forget the strain it was made from, but it was made from the buds.
 
I made qwiso hash last night and smoked it tonight. It did not disappoint and had absolutely no alcohol taste or smell to it. Just a small amount (enough to top 5-7) bowls, and enjoy it greatly. it holds its black putty shape and loosens when I roll it around in my fingers. Absolutely no plant matter in it. I'd like to know what to call it other than "that doodoo ball, hash".

The technique I used to make this batch had two yields to it when I made it. The matter caught in my coffee filter dried to a hard sheet then crumbled into a keef like substance only "fluffier" I sprinkled this on top of a bowl and it was delicious.

The Nepalese Temple Hash is actually a mixture of hash and opium, 1/6 or 1/7th opium mixed with 5/6 or 6/7ths hash.
