HOW TO MAKE HASH
Hash is a compressed format of the cannabis
drug but it is not just compressed bud. In fact
compressed bud has nothing to do with Hash
contrary to public belief.
Cannabinoids are the major drugs produced
by the cannabis plant. We have already looked
at Trichomes and we understand that these tiny
stalked resin glands contain our THC and other
cannabinoids. We also know that female flowers
produce the majority of the little trichomes.
Now this is all over the flower’s surface and
is correctly referred too as “stalked capitate
trichomes“. Since we are on this topic we will
ask you to refer to Figures 1.12 and 1.14 in
chapter 1. The gland heads (the rounded tips)
secrete the major cannabinoids within an oillike
substance that you can remove by rubbing
your fingers over the bud. We normally refer to
this substance as resin. The stalks that
support the gland head are secondary to the
head in cannabinoid production amounts. The
gland and the stalks may also burst. In the
case of a strain like afghani#1 that is thick
with resin, this sometimes-explosive action of
the gland is automatic.
