Opinions - Grass Vs Hashish

[testodan]

If SWIY have to choose between grass and hashish/soapbar,which do SWIY find easier to the pocket,considering like both equally almost..
( Obviously hashish is more pricey but might SWIY smoke less as oppose to having grass instead of hash and eventually hash comes more affordable?)

What's the quality of hash like? If it's anything like the soapbar up here, it's not worth getting. Then again, if it's good quality hash it would be more cost effective in the long run because high grade hash is kneadable at room temperature and expands a lot leaving for plenty of material to be smoked.

The discussion of drug prices is forbidden on drugs-forum. This thread is getting very close to crossing the line. Be careful not to let this turn into a discussion about the prices of cannabis v. hash.

The question is not necessarily which will last longer, but rather what are the users smoking habits. If the user is looking simply for THC, then hash is almost always going to be the better choice, unless it is low-grade soapbar hash or cut with something inactive. Many users care more about the act of smoking than the actual amount of THC ingested. For those users, actual bud/flower material may last longer, as it produces much more smoke and can be used to roll joints or large bong-bowls, as opposed to hash, which produces much less smoke for the amount of THC it sends to the user.

In Swims experience most hashish is usually not very good if it is the THC one is looking for. It is too sedating and much of the THC breaks down to CBN during heating and pressing.
When compared with Budder(99%THC if you believe the advertisement) weed came much closer to it than hashish ISE.

But this is very location specific, in Swims area the weed is usually grown locally by idealists(very proud of their work) while the hash is either soap bar or very, very dry "maroccan".

It also depends a lot what kind of hash is compared to which strain of weed. Some new strains contain mostly just THC and would be better than commercial hash that have been warm-pressed for who knows how long.

Don't know where you live Sunyata, but the hash must seriously suck if you feel that it is lacking in THC content.

Never had to deal with soapbar, so can't really comment on that.


As for affordability, it varies greatly by region so its pretty much impossible to comment on it.


For my panda, he would take hash over weed any day, but then again he grew up in the region where hash is predominant and weed is nowhere to be found. He misses hash greatly in the US, but maybe its just nostalgia (he thinks not though).


There is such a huge variance between different types of hashish and weed though, that I really can't see how anyone could help the OP unless they lived in his area.


Edit: And as for CBD, you can find hash that is very stimulating and clear headed in its effects. Only if you are lucky enough to live in an area where this sort of thing is available though. My panda loves great sativas, but the best quality hash surpasses anything else he has tried (can smoke and smoke and don't get tired or groggy, just pure bliss!).

Yes, the hash in swims area is very bad, it's usually so dry you can crush a piece to dust with a mortar. Or it's soapbar. Or one is very lucky.

And swim agrees that you can find hash that is very uplifting and not so sedating, but it is as good as unheard of where he lives. Like he wrote this is very location specific, and with all the strains of weed and types of hash, not to mention the other compounds in them that have an effect, the question is quite meaningless indeed.

BTW Bajeda do Swib smoke the hash or vaporize it? Swim found that vaporizing made a lot of the "exhausting" effects go away.

Hash around my area is always high quality bubble bag hash so if i were a smoker id go with a hash whenever poissible.

My hookah smoking caterpillar prefers domestically produced cannabis, be it weed or hash. Not because he is patriotic at all but because of taste and potency. Imported weed is more or less non-existent here apart from the limited amounts quality-minded consumers purchase online but they rarely have reselling in mind. Imported hash is abundant and dominant though, mainly maroccan, but the caterpillar dislikes the taste of the Ketama strain used for all hash from that region. Plus it's rarely found in a decent quality, usually it's more trimmings, bee wax and desert sand than trichomes. Luckily there's plenty of domestic growers that even though they grow for profit still have quality in mind and have the patience to allow their product to be both grown and cured to perfection. A few even coldpress dry shake from their favorite strain to make awesome sweet skunky-tasting hash, once SWIY has grown accustomed to that it's both hard and depressing to go back to imported so he avoids that at all costs. All in all and on any day homegrown with love is the best.

As for affordability, smoking soapbar hash on bong would probably be cheapest, but the caterpillar would rather smoke less than be forced to subject himself to that sorta abusive behaviour.

My camel has never vaporized hashish. Technology wasn't available where he was. He remembers how novel glass pipes seemed when a friend brought one from the US, as before encountering that he had only smoked spliffs, used wooden pipes, or made home-made bongs.

Smoking hashish out of pipes would fuck my camel. Then again, him and his friends would pack huge bowls and smoke for long periods of time. His mental state would be more intense that he gets with a hit or so of LSD. Seriously.

Spliffs could also be intense (especially with certain types of hashish), but were favoured for the more uplifting varieties of hashish as they would hit fast and matched the mood well (social and fast paced).
