Swim has been running a medicinal marijuana facility for quite some time now and hash an incredible array of hash pass before him. He tests almost all of it for potency and molds before providing it as medication for his patients. The highest content he has ever seen, 76% cannabinoids, was from a dark, mold-free hash oil. He has also encountered very low grade, blond bricks of pressed kif. These usually show potency values of below 10%. Almost all hash, especially imported hash, contains some mold.

Most hash is produced by the sieve method, which is similar to the bubblebags described above but without water. The shredded flower material is placed atop several sieves of differing densities through which the resin (containing the active cannabinoids) falls through to be kneaded with water and sometimes tea, then pressed into blocks. This method usually yields hash of a medium grade whose potency usually tests at 10-25%

Most Asian hash is produced with the finger method, in which the sticky resins adhere to the fingers of the hash maker as they handle the shredded flowers. They then rub their fingers together to make balls of the resin, and eventually, but blocks of hash.

Butane and acetone extractions can yield a very pure product, but also run the risk of nasty contaminants. Most butane, but law, must contain aromatic compounds to provide smell detection for leaks (pure butane is odorless). These compounds commonly find their way into even the purest of butane hash extractions.
