as zoeronerer rightly says,charas is hand rubbed hash from the indian subcontinent.so if your freind is trustable and also knows his stuff,what you have are probably seeds from a favourite charas making strain,and as charas[hand rubbed hash]is prevalant[rather than sivved hash] in northern india,especially the parvati valley,and there abouts.for instance,barneys violater kush is a parvati strain,and having grown it,id imagine its a great charas making strain.however,youd need to have a good few thriving outdoor plants for any charas making to be viable.hope that helps you consumer.
