My Stash

[Pappy]

Pappy you're making me dreamin !
Tried the piece of glass you sent to Fr. btw, nice one. Before trying I was not a fan, but I quickly changed my mind after trying. still wish I could have been faster on the last piece you sold.

Thanks Raf for your kind words. Glad you dig SGW micro and that Guillaume is sharing it. Cool there's an outpost in France where we have vapor brothers. Yeah, man, this stash will keep me high quite awhile!

Pappy, what's in the tin?

Pappy, what's in the tin?

Alice B. Toklas brownie, I ate for breakfast.

Brendan Behan ended his poem about Paris and Gertrude Stein with:

"I absolutely must decline
To dance in the streets with Gertrude Stein
And as for Alice B. Toklas,
I'd rather eat a box of Fucking chocolates."

Party's at Pappy's place.

If that brownie's half as whacky as Stein's poetry, I'd say that's one fine treat... I honestly thought it was some kind of hash/concentrates when I was originally looking at the picture.

Thanks for the heads up pappy! I haven't ever really uploaded many imagaes in the past, before fc...what site would you recommend? I guess the reason i like image shack, is the ability to upload without logging in or having an account at all....I'm sure there are other sites that are better, but there are so many, I'd rather not use something worse, lol. So if you know if a decent secure, reliable, etc, site, let me know.

The bud is tasty, especially the blueberry. I'm loving the church, which i just got for the first time. Fairly intense body high, with a nice head buzz. The body high is kind of pulsating, and the head high seems soothing.

Don't mean to derail, but I just had the same experience with MacGuard from a site (don't know which one). Took me two days to get rid of it and I was scared as hell to use my computer. Gay porn and viagra sites popping up like crazy. Easy enough to get rid of when you know how, and to keep things like this off your Mac once you know how. Just aggravating as hell.

Meanwhile, these pics are lovely. Perfect thing to wake up to on a holiday morning! Makes me want to wake and bake...

Nice morning poetry Pappy.
You know where to stop if you come to Paris then.

@ mom > That sucks! Imageshack is prone to crashing and now Trojans. Perhaps because it doesn't require an account?
@ purp > I recommend Flickr but you need an account (free).
@ raf > you guys would be my first call.

 

[momofthegoons]

I've been trying to figure out an excuse to visit France myself. I have memories of incredible hash in Europe back in the 70's. Makes me drool just thinking about it. That's one thing I miss; good hash (and opium to think of it). The real stuff, not pressed kief. The last time it was around these parts, I was at the hospital having my first child. I had some with me and would take a few hits at shower time. It was much less "aromatic" than combusting herb. At least that was my story and I was sticking to it. Ahhh, the good old days.

Yo you guys need to use www.imgur.com for your links, imageshack is wack

I'm paranoid, lol. But i guess posting my whatnot info on here is worse than a flickr account haha, I'll use that next time i guess, thanks!

@Pappy you better do so.
@Mom stop looking, go for it. Summertime and the life is easy...
A lill warning though, hash is not the same quality as it was in the 70s in France. People from this generation keep talking about fantastic hash, how easy it was to get and cheap. Nowaday that kind of hashs ALmost stopped crossing the borders. Had some super sweet charras lately but first time in like 5 years, haven't seen red lebanon since feb 96, etc..the only good one "easy "to find is pressed kief.
But this kind of hash, made out of plant that grew in the moroccon valleys is yet really nice to vape
@Purpl3 As for me it's an act of freedom and engagement to post in such forums. Claiming to be a proud and "recreational" user of a simple plant. Whereas getting trojan or stuff like that is not a choice.

I don't agree... but you know that about me, Raph!
First of all compared to the US situation on hash... we have FANTASTIC hashes, at unbelievable low prices, hands down!
Now mainly 80% of it is Moroccan Hash (both pollen and bubble hashes, with 1000 varieties in between) and 20% is coming from India/Afghanistan/Pakistan. You can get incredible quality for the double price of crap (Caramella crean, Manali, Double zero, Ketama, Tchechaouen cream, Red Lebanese, Mandangua...I can go on for loooong...)

Whereas the legends of the 70's stoners: urban legend's "BS" with too much melancholic LSD tripping!!! Production, extraction, pressing techniques have been improved and the mother plants have also been improved... so if your looking for top notch hashes, they are still here (you just have to put the price, still so much less expensive then on the American continent!)

Coming back to the subject:

Amnesia Haze (2 differents: Hydroponic and biological + soil)... Yes I'm an addict I know!
Power Plant crossed with a damn trichly Haze: flavor, odor, power and monstrous nuggs! Very uplifting effect!
Carmella Cream
Indian Charras
Pressed kieff

Have to agree about the quality of hash on the continent, even in comparison to the UK which at least still has better regular hash than the US. Having said that ours is still very variable, some supposed "squidgy black" is coated with boot polish to make it smell more, yuck!
My french mate here is always complaining about the lack of good 'ash as he calls it (has a little trouble pronouncing the 'h' lol) and goes back over to France every so often to stock up and bring back here.

Also got myself some Amensia at the moment, as a fellow self-confessed addict of that beautiful bud. Have some Power Plant too, but it's definitely not as good as the Amnesia (my french mate and I call it the 'oublier' when we're talking on the phone coz it will definitely make you forget stuff!).
Also got a bag of mixed Blue Haze and Lemon Haze the other day, had to spend 15 minutes carefully sniffing and examining each bud to separate them out afterwards, rather annoying.

It really pisses me off the lack of care that dealers show towards bud. I understand that it's all just about the money, but some teeny things can really make a big difference in the end quality.

 

[Raf007]

Yup Flskwat I know , but le me agree for both of us if you will

What you state I partially agrre with, but.
I did not say it can not be found. I implied that it's hard to get for 90% of the population if not more. That the hash you could find in the 70s was easy to get and of better quality than most hash nowadays for the simple reason that there were no laced hash.

So it's no legend I believe, most of my friends who were young in the 70s complain about price and about how hard it is to get qual. Especially that it was easy to have the best qual crossing broders, whereas nowadays you can be sure we are not getting it and that the charras that ends up in France is not the best (even if it does be super good)

Finally if you refer to sharras and morocon hash there is no new techniques in those, and as far as I know there haven't been any special breeding made in those countries. See "strain hunters" and how they find different strains growing next to each other withtou any other selection than the one from mother Nature.

So, do we agree a bit here ?

@Wilf, I feel you. I had three strains in one batch without even a word from the dealer.

Finally if you refer to sharras and morocon hash there is no new techniques in those, and as far as I know there haven't been any special breeding made in those countries. .

Im afraid there are new tecniques as i have seen them in the Himalayas in both India and Nepal. I have been going there for 20 years now and I first saw this about 7 years ago in India but now seems to be widespread.
It basically involves them cutting whole plants and submerging in baths of very cold water straight out the river off the mountain and extracting the resin in this way. It is a lot quicker than making by hand but it is a completely differant product and it not the same quality. I think this is why charras has become a generic term meaning from Himalayas not hand rolled and normally comes in a bar which it never used to and has led to a drop in overall quality as makers do not want to make by hand at all anymore.

 

[FLskwat]

Arghf Raf...
I have done 3 harvests in the Atlas region with local growers as a kiddo, and my mother's house is in Gibraltar, facing Marrocco with only 15 km sea in between...where I have been going every summer since I'm 15... and have been travelling through India and Nepal twice... But you know all that...so, again:
Yes new techniques or/and forgotten techniques, new presses (hydraulic/heat vs cold pressing etc...), new breedings for sure (you know the young generation of maroccan growers have the web? ), new ways to downgrade it too (you're right o that).
The price story we can discuss, I admit...but same story for the keloggs price tag between 1970 and 2010... it's a general reality!

What a great discussion! Have to pick up on some Amnesia. You guys know a lot more about hash than me but allow me to ask a stupid question? How can there be great hash with Uncle Sam's fat ass sitting in Afghanistan and his clumsy fingers poking Asia and the Middle East?

 

[FLskwat]

How can there be great hash with Uncle Sam's fat ass sitting in Afghanistan and his clumsy fingers poking Asia and the Middle East?

I would say, cause the fighting/resisting/oppressed Uncle (Ou)Sam(a)'s friends need money to buy guns my friend!!!!

 

[WatTyler]

^ +1 Occasionally we see some nice hash makes it across to the UK, but mostly muck unless you have good connections. I once worked with an Afghan

Uncle Sam has made the drug 'problem' * worse, and is pretty impotent to have any other real effect. Even Opium Production has increased significantly since

.
I think the US would rather the fields were used for hash production, rather than opium poppies.

But hash production has increased too. This extract from Asia Times (whole article is worth a read)

In addition to being the world's leading producer of opium, Afghanistan has now become the largest producer of hashish, according to the first-ever cannabis survey released by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) this month. Again, the US invasion is behind the new record.

The 2009 Afghanistan Cannabis Survey revealed that there is large-scale cannabis cultivation in half (17 out of 34) of Afghanistan's provinces, covering a total area of 10,000 to 24,000 hectares every year (lower than opium cultivation, which covers 125,000 hectares). Afghanistan's crop yield is so high at 145 kilograms of resin per hectare that it overtakes other leading producers like Morocco, where cannabis covers a larger land area but whose yield is lower, at 40 kg/ha.

It is estimated that Afghanistan produces 1,500-3,500 tons of hashish annually, an industry involving 40,000 households. The total export value of Afghan hashish is still unknown, but its farm-gate value - the income paid to farmers - is estimated at about US$40-$95 million, roughly 15% that of opium ($438 million in 2009)......

.....The Taliban regime used opium to finance itself in the 1990s, but outlawed hashish production, some say because hashish was consumed by Afghans whereas opium was for the unbelievers in the West, although the real reason had more to do with the fact that there would have been an uprising against the Taliban if farmers had not been allowed to grow poppies. The Taliban ban on hashish was extremely effective - the crop persisting only in a few places - just like their later ban on opium in 2000-2001[you can see this in the chart above]. But the 2001 US invasion changed all that, leading to the spread of cannabis to new areas, especially from 2005 onwards, according to independent experts and UNODC.

Edit: * And I loosely term it 'problem' because I think that is probably what it is for the nation of Afghanistan. Whatever our personal views on the drug, as a poor nation it ideally needs to develop a more legitimate economy if it is to be sustainable and not be a target for western interference. How you do that somewhere like Afghanistan is the real 'problem'.
