What is Hashish and How Is It Made?

Hashish, hash for short, is derived from the “kief,” or the dried resin, of the flowering tops of mature and unpollinated female cannabis plants. The resin glands are called trichomes or crystals. Hash is harvested by collecting the powdery resin either by hand, by the mechanical beating of the plants, or by submersing cannabis plants in icy water and then using small sieves to remove the trichomes, which are then dried (this type of hashish is called “bubble hash”). The remaining kief is typically pressed into “cakes,” or blocks, which are then smoked in pipes, vaporized and inhaled, or mixed with marijuana in joints.
Hash can be soft and pliable or stiff and brittle. It may be red, black, brown, green, yellow, or blonde in color. Hash may also be used in cooking, as it is soluble in things like oils, butter, or cream and can therefore be made into foods like brownies. Hashish may also be further manufactured, and the resin extracted and made into hash oil, a gooey substance that individuals are “dabbing” and smoking with e-cigarettes.

This hash smells like creamy berries.Super easy to work with very malleable! Taste is exactly how it smells except this time I get some earthly/grape but really sweet tasting! Excellent for afternoon and evening smoking.High was on lighter side but energizing. Perfect for chilling with friends and in a group setting.

Very berry and creamy on the taste side! A bit low on the high side but perfect to mix in a joint and had a little bit of taste and fun to it 😛
