Afghani Hash

Hashish is produced practically everywhere in and around Afghanistan. The best kinds of Hash originate from the Northern provinces between Hindu Kush and the Russian border (Balkh, Mazar-i-Sharif).

The plants which are used for Hash production are very small and bushy Indicas. In Afghanistan Hashish is pressed by hand after the addition of a small quantity of tea or water. The Hashish is worked on until it becomes highly elastic and has a strong aromatic smell. In Afghanistan the product is stored in the form of Hash-Balls (because a round ball has the least contact with air), however, before being shipped, the Hash is pressed in 100g slabs.

If you’re new to the world of hash, you’re in for a unique and flavorful experience. If you aren’t sure how to enjoy hash, try out some of theses methods:

1. Roll a Joint: Mixing hash with tobacco or herbs and rolling it into a joint is a classic method. Grind the hash finely, blend it with your filler, roll, and light up. This approach offers a balanced introduction to hash smoking.
2. Pipe It Up: Pipes are simple and deliver a pure hash experience. Place a small piece of legal hash in the bowl, light it, and inhale through the mouthpiece. You’ll savor the hash’s distinctive flavors.
3. Bong Brilliance: Opt for a water pipe or smoother hits. Place some crumbled hash on a metal screen in the bowl and light it up
4. Vaporize the Essence: Vaporizers heat hash without combustion, offering a cleaner inhale. This method preserves the hash’s complex flavors
5. Spliff Sensation: Combine hash with tobacco to create a spliff. It provides a milder hit and allows you to adjust the hash-to-tobacco ratio to your preference.
6. Edibles Exploration: Infuse hash into cooking oils or butter to make edibles. Start with a small amount in recipes like brownies or cookies. Keep in mind that edibles have delayed effects, so be patient.
7. Tea Time: Infuse hash in hot water or milk to create hash-infused beverages. Add honey, herbs, or spices to personalize your experience.
8. Dabble in Dabs: If you’re curious about concentrates, try a dab rig. Heat a small amount of hash concentrate and inhale the vapor for a potent experience.
9. Hot Knife Technique: For a more unconventional method, try the hot knife technique. Heat two metal knives until they’re red hot, press a small piece of hash between them, and inhale the rising smoke through a straw or rolled-up paper. Note Hot knives create the harshest smoke.
