I think the key is the way that the hash is processed, with outdoors drying being important as it also removes any residual chlorophyll. What is the difference between hash and "scissors hash" made from trimming dried buds? It is much like the hash of old and doesn't melt when you burn it. I think it is a combination of the pressing process and maybe something with the moisture content when it is pressed. If it is slightly damp when pressed, it would harden up quite a bit after drying out a little, much like scissor hash hardens up after sitting a little. I don't think it has anything to do with sand of other contaminants, as you would have a pile of unburned sand sitting in your pipe after smoking it, since sand and dirt doesn't burn too well.
Are you on about Formula Black from the 80's DB?
One thing is for sure, All this hash talk makes me want to smoke kif all day lol.. Traditionally, in a spliff with tobacco...View attachment 885723View attachment 885724View attachment 885725
Ahhhhhh,... that's better! lol
It may be a cpl things. the old school process of making it wih the oil and heated over a direct flame and the way it is hand agitated and compressed,or maybe it has something to do with the size of the resin head itself.This is something I've had a few theories about but really dont know how it is done.
Talking about the hash that comes from Afghanistan and Morocco that I havent seen in 20 years, I used to buy it in England quite a bit but havent ever seen it on the west coast of Canada.
You could heat it with a lighter to "buff it" and it would just get soft and crumbly, It didnt melt and just stick into a blob on your finger like bubblehash or dry sift does.
Anyone know the actual reason for this? Was it process? Ingredients?
My theory has always been the outdoor plants grown for hash making would get sand and other atmospheric debris stuck to them that was the right particle size to pass through the screens with the trichome heads. Essentially making hash that is cut with sand.
If that were the case, I wonder if it could be recreated somehow by acquiring an inert filler with the same characteristics as the afghan sand. Not that I would do it, more just curious if it's possible.
Any thoughts?
Modern hash is separated by mesh size allowing some of the layers to melt(the prettiest ones that everyone wants to see).This Is along the lines I'm thinking, is there something else in there that makes it like that? Because every modern high quality hash just melts when you heat it.
When I had my incident in Barcelona with my homegrown buds, they had never seen bright green buds, since 95% of the cannabis smoked is in the hash form, since Morocco is pretty close by. Most of the hash I've seen over the decades has been dark brown or beige. I think the added plant matter helps to hold it together. Using pure kief seems to yield melting hash instead of the old school stuff.
The old school hash I remember had opium in it and was gummy, not sure if we're talking about the same thing but you mentioned Montreal and what was there would have been in this area as well back thenThis is something I've had a few theories about but really dont know how it is done.

its not its just the grading of hash these days are more seperatedLol I'm not saying I would do it.. Just wondering why the texture is so insanely different to modern hash.
That's because it is more resinous than it used to be. When you heated the block back then, you were cooking off some rez that you never got back. When it left, all that was left was some loose matter. It was still coated, but not like today.This Is along the lines I'm thinking, is there something else in there that makes it like that? Because every modern high quality hash just melts when you heat it.
