I need to find a new connect as mine is getting unreliable. Been dry for a week + now. Might make some butter with my vaped bud this weekend. Desperate times & all that.

Yeah mate I have been prone to those blackouts. Starts of everything goes like yellow specks and reduces to darkness. I fuckin hate it. I nearly always end up on the floor.

 

[laugh]

its from getting up too quickly. maybe low blood pressure or somefing

This is postural or orthostatic hypotension - you get up quickly and you get temporary low blood pressure in the brain, causing you to faint. Being ripped will increase your chances of experiencing this. I used to experience this fairly often - not really at all these days. I don't tend to get as mashed, plus I'm a lot healthier and fitter than when I was in my 20s.

If you are prone to feeling dizzy when you stand up - just practice getting up slowly. Or get your butler to open the door for you as you recline in your burgundy smoking jacket and chocolate velvet slides

yeah it was either G13 or white-widow, with a bit of that random hydro my mate chucked in the bowl lol both WW n G13 are quite potent

on another topic, anyone got some mull porn from this season? all my plans failed due to cuttings being put outside too early then on the second attempt, too late (I was relying scoring these cuttings off just one grower hence the large time gap with no choice in when they went outside).. both resulting in the plants going straight to flower (the second attempts vegged. for like a week or two haha)

Yeah why not.

[pisspotnrock]

well fuckn done my friend! looks beautiful.. love the colour of the crown! Im assuming that purpley colour comes from genetics? as it has only just started getting cold where we're at lol and very windy...

 

[justsayknow]

Yep genetics. Pakistan Chitral Kush. Not outrageously strong but it looks and smells nice.

Police probe cannabis resin discovery on Kingscliff beach

Police are investigating the discovery of more than $90,000 worth of hashish on a far north coast beach.

More than two kilograms of the compressed cannabis resin was found by a man walking on Kingscliff Beach on Sunday.

Detective Inspector Brendon Cullen says it was packed into a sealed PVC pipe.

"Things like this have occurred in the past, but certainly I haven't come across it since I've been at Tweed Heads here and it doesn't happen too often," he said.

"We are going to forensically examine the contents inside the container and that may lead us to who's responsible for it.

"But it appears it has been in the ocean for some time, so that will have an impact on what we do locate forensically."

It is believed the canister originated from Australia.

On the Tweed-Byron Facebook page, police say they are 'looking for the owner who may have lost some a section of capped PVC pipe with interesting contents'.

^ Pretty random, I never really hear about hash going around. In over ten years smoking in Australia, I think I have seen imported hash twice, and honestly it could easily of been pressed kief that someone was passing off as an import (although I can't see for the price how that would of been profitable to them). I am assuming that is an import because you would need quite a bit of green to make 2 kilos of hash and I imagine if one went to the trouble they wouldn't be leaving it on a beach.

I have often wondered why there isn't a greater market for hash here, pretty much every smoker I know is curious to try it or has tried it and really enjoyed it. I know it is a pain in the ass to import rather than grow but I would of thought for how cheap it presumably goes for in producer countries one could still make a fair bit of coin if they got a bit in. It really is kind of a shame, hashish is a lovely product and given the choice I would buy it over green most of the time.

I asked about this in Amsterdam and was told that people like to sample different product from different regions and countries. I was told that people look for individual flavours, highs and by products used in the pressing process. I was given some Hashish from some French people in Holland and it was different to everything that was available locally. Everyone wanted to sample it because it was different. I thought it was rubbish as it tasted like petrol.

Obviously everyone would love to sample Cannabis from different countries but that is a lot harder to do due to the fact that it has to be smuggled across borders and continents etc. Apparently Hashish is a lot easier to smuggle than Cannabis. The Adelaide bricks are good example of this happening in Australia compared with the fine connoisseur Cannabis that is available in select circles.

For the record the only Hashish product that stood out for me in Holland was shatter. That was miles above all the other Hashish I tried in terms of potency, (obviously), and deservedly won the cup. Thankfully people are making it in Australia as Globe bongs are starting to pop up in more and more places.

The guys from the U.S. I met seem to think they invented Dabs but lots of people were smart enough to use sites like Bluelight, Erowid and the now defunct Overgrow a long time ago to make BHO.

BHO/Butane Hash Oil = Shatter = Dabs. They are all the same thing but just have different slang terms compared to where you are in the world.

 

[poledriver]

Yeah I thought that a hash find seemed pretty unusual here these days. Anyone who was around and smoking lots in the early 90's would have seen a fair bit of hash, well we did anyway, we used to get it about as much as heads, if not more at stages, stuff with stamps and cellophane in certain colours wrapped around the blocks, the stuff was obviously imported and as I said very available and if I recall right it was the same price as buds or even cheaper. I think I heard they used to smuggle it over here on a large scale in shipping containers, but I guess that got easier and easier to detect and people stopped organising it, because I haven't had any since those early 90's days. Also had some charis I think it was called, not sure what the deal is with that stuff is without looking it up, but at the time our tripper travelling friends told us it was a high grade/potency hash type that was smuggled over here internally (who knows if that was true) and they were smoking it thru a chillum I think it was called, anyway it got us mega stoned and my mate spewed lol.

I've never had BHO/Butane Hash Oil = Shatter = Dabs at all, but I'd be keen to try.

 

[tentram]

that dude who found the hash washed up apparently found heroin with it as well. if only it were a bler who did the right thing and kept that mofo!

i can usually come in contact with hash a few times a year which has always been pretty decent in quality. definitely not much that circles here either.

Yep genetics. Pakistan Chitral Kush. Not outrageously strong but it looks and smells nice.

does look quite nice indeed. its a shame it wasnt that strong. i had a really nice looking girl last year, beatiful branch long buds weighing up to and over 1/4oz each which didnt smoke too great until the last bit which i kept separate to smoke last which had cured really well and a level above the rest of the plant. i wish it were the crown id saved

 

[drug_mentor]

I was in Amsterdam last year and I never bothered with the shatter or any of the more incredibly high priced cannabis concentrations, due to the fact I was almost exclusively rolling joints, was on a limited budget and at various times have had access to similar products in Australia anyway. I enjoyed smoking mainly the higher potency/price range traditional hashes with a little bit of bubble thrown in.

Personally I don't neccessarily equate the most potent hash to be the best, just like with cannabis strains sometimes the most potent can be quite unremarkable and sometimes only moderately potent strains have a really nice high. Don't get me wrong I have always enjoyed BHO and the like but I do find it to be more like a skull fuck stone as opposed to a nice floaty, euphoric and perfectly tranquil buzz that I experience from a lot of hash that is not as potent. I also find that 9/10 times BHO doesn't have a flavour that comes a fraction close to comparing to the taste of more traditional hash and can in some instances taste rather bad (I am aware in this case it probably has not been purged properly).

Not long ago I had a mate pull his outdoor harvest, was just grown from bagseed but it turned out a really fucking great smoke, best out of everyone I knew who grew this year and a lot better than anything doing the rounds commercially. Anyway, he had a decent quantity and needed an extra pair of hands or two to help him manicure his buds, a task I was more than happy to volunteer for. After a good 4 or 5 hours the buds were ready to hang up and my scissors were coated in a sticky black substance, you see it mostly referred to as 'scissor hash' but I guess it wouldn't be a stretch to call it charas, after I carefully scraped all of this together I ended up with a black little ball that weighed maybe a couple points, if that. Smoking this stuff was LOVELY, it was the best thing I have smoked in I don't know how long, the buzz was that fantastic somewhat clear headed but in a really positive/giggly state of mind with a really strong body stone type high with zero paranoia that awesome hash gives and it easily lasted 4 hours. It also tasted amazing and overall was just a joy to smoke.

Fast forward a week or two later and we made some BHO with the same stuff. It was fucking potent as no doubt, and in its own right it was a very pleasant smoke, however, for me it did not really come close to comparing to that awesome feeling I got from the scissor hash. I don't know if hashes made with solvent perhaps have a less dynamic high because the THC is more readily soluble in the solvents typically used than other cannabanoids are, where with traditional methods like hand rubbing or sifting the other cannabanoids come through in equal relative proportion to the THC, all I can do is speculate but to me that does make sense. What I do know is that for me good quality traditional hashish is a truly wonderful product with a unique high and flavour that I love, while solvent extracted hashes (QWISO and BHO) are a more potent but qualitatively less enjoyable effect, still enjoyable though!

Just make it safely yourself if you want to try it. It's not hard to do.

Make sure you do it in a well ventilated space if you try and don't use an open flame if you decide to speed up the evaporation process. The way that they package it in Amsterdam so that it shatters is the way to handle and store it.

 

[Stevenski]

I remember the mid 90's in Sydney had some really nice blonde hash floating around every few months.

 

[poledriver]

^Yeah I had a fair bit of that stuff as well.

 

[infectedmushroom]

I'm sure there is quite a lot of the stuff
In that northern rivers region, the only time I've ever had hash in this country was around there. I've heard of it in Sydney where I live but only in very small amounts amongst small circles.

Hash is wonderful. I love the smell of it burning / being cooked. It woul be nice if there was more a hashish culture here.

 

[Standup]

Got some seeds from a 'strain creator' who lives in north cali. Apparently a mix of OG kush, purple kush, blue dream, Black widow, Cali lush and a few others.
