Title: Ok got a question for the "potheads :D" or those who know about it in the US
Post by: Nilsen on August 30, 2008, 05:58:19 AM
Ive just had a serious debate with a friend of mine about hash vs weed. Ive understood that weed is most common in the US vs Hash. Is this true or is it just that most people and popular culture calls both weed on tv and such?

Imo good hash beats good weed, but there are so many variations and im too far from beeing an expert to know lol.

Any users and guys in law enforcement form the US will prolly atleast be able to answer my first question.

Oh an keep it civil  :)

IFAIK Weed is more prominent than hash in the US as it is in Australia.
There are several different ways of making hash and the concentrations vary accordingly and I've smoked hash that truly sucked when compared to some of the bud that was available at the time.
I think good hash beats weed too, but nothing can compare with weed for bang for buck since you can usually get an ounce of really good weed for much less than a similar quantity of hash.

Quality is more of an issue with hash imo. As you said concentrations vary alot and so much crap can be used as filling in hash that you may not find in bud.

Had any good black moroccan? It will peel your socks off and send you into orbit. Nepalese is my favorite though hehe :)

LOL when I was "in the business" I used to make hash the Moroccan way, and yes, it is something special indeed. Pity it takes so long and so much raw product to make though. Cannot say I've had any Nepalese stuff, and since I'm no longer partaking, it's unlikely I will. :D

Hash depends upon the region and the year it was produced.
Late '70s had some good Afghanistan/Pakistani. Then Lebanese, Nepalese had some great stuff following that.
Panama had some Good Red weed late '70s and nothing could beat the Thai Sticks during the same period. The US screwed up the Mexican herb by spraying Paraquat all over the fields. Yet the best Jamacian smoke was found on the beaches of Florida.
Then there's always home grown weed.

What's the difference between the two?  I've never been placed in a situation where my mind needed either as a crutch.

BTW, I always like your posts, but that was intended as comical, right? Ive just had a serious debate with a friend of mine about hash vs weed.

You're a pretty funny dude, just making sure I didn't miss it.

The debate of hash Vs weed is actually quite a heated one amongst connoisseurs of both.
Not everyone who smokes either lets their mind get turned to mush.  That's generally left to the deadbeat dole bludgers who have no interest in working or otherwise using their minds to start with.

Not a cruch :D Its just something i do maybe 5 or 6 times a year at most :) Just like i enjoy _sipping_ a good _bottle_ of scotch a couple of times a month.  :D

Its just as easy to have a serious discussion about this as debating what politician is not corrupt :D

Hash is a product of weed. I'm sure you can find instructions on how to make it online somewhere. People that I knew didn't use weed as a crutch, they used it recreationally in much the same way that people use alcohol in a recreational manner.

Understood. I don't catch the reference, but is a dole bludger akin to a dunnie budgie?  ;)

 Put that way I understand.  It's just that almost all of the 'connoisseurs' I've met here didn't impress me much. (read: dumb sh*ts) Maybe things are different across the pond.  I never walk away from love of country and culture here but I never discount the possibility that some places may have some good ideas, too.

A dole bludger is what we here in Oz call someone who exists solely on welfare and has no desire to do anything else.

Mind you, this info is not from personal experience but....

Years ago for the right price (I'm told), one could get their hands on any number of hemp products in The States. But hashish was a bit harder to find in quantity since it had so far to travel. The effect was usually superior due to it's concentration of.....happiness.

Cocaine changed all that. Then came the D.E.A.,  the international war on drugs, and tighter security within military circles. Importing anything became much riskier. So the people up and down the supply chain just followed the money.

The U.S. hemp industry has picked up some of that slack and Canada has finally found a way to make herself useful by producing (I'm told) some really outstanding foliage but the tradition of refining it's just not very entrenched.

Europe doesn't have the same land resources and is closer to the traditional production centers so I understand there's a higher degree of availability of refined hemp and less access to raw material.

As far as the quality debate goes, some people prefer Jamaican pipe dreams, some burn midnight oil. It's all good (so I'm told)
