Yes its strong Afghani hash from an Indica plant. Its also virtually impossible to get in Holland now let alone England so if you really can get some, I'm pointing fingers at British squaddies smuggling it in.

It's virtually impossible to get any decent hash in the uk imo, I know loads of people on here will disagree with that but it's just how it is. I'm always disappointed with so called quality hash I get offered. I'm pretty sure Mail Monkey will agree with me and he clearly knows his shit.

^FUBAR, that's the CD thread about contaminated weed. The first processed weed was gritty, like had sand or ground glass in it, you could tell by licking a finger and sticking it in, it would leave palpable particles on your fingers. Then came a different kind, that was soaked or sprayed in something, it never quite dried, was sort of oily, and didn't burn right, left horrible hard black ash.

Yeah Mazar-i-Sharif is just good Afghan hash, but almost all Afghan hash these days is adulterated and shit. If it leaves hard, dark cinders, it's crap. Soft, fluffy, light-coloured ash is what you want. Personally, I preferred good Moroccan over anything else when I smoked, but it's a taste thing. Yeah, there is a difference between strains, and types of hash. Here's a big ol' guide to hash from the BL Wiki:

thanks man, not read it yet as listening to footy but will later. my source tells me the mazar sharif is soft and bendy so hopefully the real deal.
 
It's nothing against your source, it's just the way Afghan hash is these days. As I say, the best way to test purity is to roll up a thin little snake and burn it, then examine the ash. A solid, dark grey little tail that holds together indicates adulteration; nice fluffy white cloud ash is what you're after. I sincerely hope what you've got is da bomb. Soft and bendy at room temperature is actually not the best, it should really be glossy and firm at room temperature, but become soft, malleable and aromatic in the heat of your palm.

been head, I've actually smoked some hash of mine with MM that he thought was pretty good, as I recall. It can be found, but it's not nearly as common as hi-grade. I don't blaze anymore, but I used to get pretty decent caramello and charas. This is a bit dick-sizey now, but I do think there is some decent hash out there, just not enough.

when i get the stuff i will update here, i'm just going by what i'm told i'll try upload a pic as well if i can and i'll do that burn test you mentioned. i hope its good stuff too! ash suits me well because i'm not a regular toker so i like that i can keep it for ages and it not go funny but the quality of most hash in the uk (standard soapbar shit) is just torture on the lungs and would make a nice change to have some quality stuff for once, not had any decent hash in about ten years.

In my years of smoking im yet to see noid contaminated weed tbh, not saying it doesn't happen, but i ain't seen it!

I found a bag of weed outside a school couple years ago. Was very green a leafy, looked like homegrown. I felt it fair to lift the weed a remove it from an area where kids congregate. Out of civic duty of course. Didn't feel right when smoked though, felt odd, bit shit. Reminded me of the AM2201 I tried, & hated, one time... So I guess it does happen. Never bought any herb that was contaminated with anything other than that silica shit from a few years ago...

Can you not use a powerful magnifying glass ? Check the leaves for contaminants same as when the glass beads were being sprayed (or whatever the hell was previously being used).

That Silica shit..?

I've not smoked weed for a long time now so I would also be interested if anyone could recommend some weed that's not too strong and just gives a nice gentle chilled out buzz.
Some weed I smoked before gave me a fucking panic attack so want to stay away from that kind of stuff.

Thai stick or african bush would probably be good for you, very high in CBD and very cheap. Can taste a bit odd to smoke though.
 
I quite like the taste of foreign herb. Very different to UK hydro!

It's probably coz I started my weed life in Africa though...
 
I have a friend who has a little boutique grow Op, he makes a hybrid 'hash' for personal use that he gave me some a couple of times.

He makes oil with his 'trimmings and leaf, I don't know his exact method and then mixes a little finely chopped bud into the oil until he has a substance very similar to squidgy black.

Very nice smoke , sadly not for sale.

unless you have had vastly different thai stick to myself, it is typically a sativa dominant strain. very few pure sativas exist in a mass commercial variety such as what came to be universally familiar as the weed typically wrapped round those sticks from thailand. consequently, i wouldnt personally associate thai sticks with cbd. as shm stated, a pure or heavily leaning indica like afghan would be what you want

also, i stand to be corrected - but i believe it is the effect of through the ratio between cbd to thc that dictates what form the stone takes. cbd is not in itself psychoactive, rather it exerts a moderating influence on thc. but i tend to pay little attention to thc/cbd figures put on commercial strains these days. the most expensive seeds grown poorly will never better the bog standard hybrid grown well.


the kids these days dont have a fucking clue, seem to think the smell of the finished product is a guide to potency. i once bought and grew sensei seed's (at that time) most expensive strain, and winner of multiple cannabis cups - northern lights#5xhaze. it was epic in every way aside from smell, where it was average - yet because of that, i actually found myself having to talk up buds with calyxes that could take your eye out, a purple/red hue so intense john lennon at his most gregarious would baulk at donning and a coating of resin that glistened like winter sun on a virginal blanket of snow-covered moorland and that is still to this very day widely considered to be the pinnacle of hybridization. twas absolutely surreal



last decent imported hash i had was as seems the norm - over a decade ago. manali, dark and squishy. wonderful smell and a thick, powerful smoke. made the mistake of putting a flame to it initially (being as i was, raised on soapbar - weed for many years being like hens teeth) it took white spirit and a pan scraper to remove the resultant coating from my finger tips
 
^Northern Lights was actually selectively bred to be less smelly, and so less risky for growers. I think the Cheese explosion (that's a name for an indie band) is what led people to associate pungency with potency. Imported hash can be had (if I whip this dead horse one more time, hopefully it'll get up), decent Moroccan goes for around £140 an ounce, and the best shit goes for £10/g, for really amazing charas or top-notch blonde.

fascinating re NL, did not know that. cheese is a victim of its own success in a way. you probably know already its history as a rare skunk#1 phenotype.. and yes, cheese grown, dried and (even better) - cured properly - ticks almost every box, and js a great all round smoke. but it has now become a brand - sold in commercial seedpacks rather than the hushed passing on of the prized (and obviously - genetically identical) cutting, between growers who were less numerous and took pride in quality of product - rather than fasting possible turn around, unripe buds, green from lack of flush and more often than not - sopping wet


i have had cheese that was incredibly strong, i have also had cheese unbelievably weak, two big bowlfulls to even feel it - weak. the problem? both smelled identical. on top of all that, i once used to buy skunk - about 12yrs ago - it was extremely well grown, despite being plain ol' skunk#1 - it was far, far better than the vast majority of £200 bud around these days - the irony? i was paying 140, and complained bitterly at the time. i would snap your arm off for the same stuff now. i find the phenomenon of the vast increase in price, along with a general fall in quality - of weed nationwide - to be somewhat confusing, and to me at least - ostensibly counterintuitive
 
Every time I smoke weed these days I get an uneasy tight sorta feeling in my chest. This never used to happen.

Anyone else get this?

I agree 100 percent, i remember what it was like and alot of people just seem to forget it was alot better back then. Sprayed weed is still a problem where i live. used to get an ounce of good stuff for 130 a decade ago swear down most the younger generation dont know what good weed is even it jizzed in their eye

Ofcourse some cheese isnt up to par, its rare to get a bit of weed that you rate 10/10 i got some well grown and cured UK cheese thats the best cheese i have had in ages better then some NL blue cheese i had not long back. Im not overly fussed on cheese at all mind give me some Blue dream, amnesia haze, bubble gum, jack herer any day of the week over it. : )
 
Never had the tight chesty symptom.

But my best mate does.... So he no longer smokes weed, only hash. Works for him.
 
Fucking hate that feeling. It's just like a physical manifestation of anxiety or summat. Gets you right in the stomach, like butterflies. Evil butterflies.
 
ive had terrible heart palpitations from toking, very unpleasant, is it a stabbing feeling or just a tight feeling?
had a doc once tell me if it feels like a fist squeezing your heart then worry, if its a sharp stabbing pain then it is most likely nothing as people around my age (20's) tend to experience these, it is quite like heart burn in a way
i was very worried with the heart palpitations and was close to phoning an ambulance the time it first occurred, anyone else ever experience these when smoking?
 
... intoxification form cannabis does increase heart-rate & it isn't entirely improbable that folk who are predisposed might suffer an increase in symptoms if they suffer heart problems.

99.9999% of "heart complaints" from cannabis intoxification are however related to generalised anxiety or panic attacks, which can be very frightening & may produce chest pain which is caused by nothing more than muscular tension.

Try to relax & moderate your tokes so you don't get too big a hit all at once...

Truthquoted.

Got nowt else to add but this fact irks me greatly too. Price is bad enough but on the odd occasion I have smoked weed recently the quality seems to be distinctly meh. Even for me as a non-regular smoker. May have just been a bad batch or summat but for what it costs it better be bloody good.
