Anybody Missing Some Hash?
February 16th, 2009 by Perry
Because they just found more than three tons of it in the back of a potato truck, and I know I’m always misplacing my shit.
Smugglers apparently use potatoes because they are close in density to the processed hash. However, trying to mix 60 of the 50-pound bales into a truckload of potatoes was bound to be caught by even the laziest of Moroccan scanner monitors.
The effort is part of an international crackdown effort in the area (what it’s always called when they round up and hassle low-level nobodies and hope to make them snitch out their bosses) which has yielded 109 suspects.
Hash Production Made Easy
November 21st, 2008 by Perry
Here is a great hash recipe in eight easy steps, courtesy of Candyskunk and Weedfarmer.
I wish I had known about this method years ago, although be forewarned, I personally haven’t tested it out for myself yet.
Reading through the instructions though, it seems fairly simple to follow. All you need is some keif, wax or parchment paper and a heat source. So basically, there’s no need for big buckets of ice, water and hours of work.
Procedure to make hash below:
- 1. Cut a square of parchment paper about 6″ wide.
- 2. Gather keif into a pile on the paper.
- 3. Carefully fold the paper until the keif is trapped in a compact parchment paper envelope.
- 4. Put the “envelope” on the heat source.
- 5. Apply gentle, constant pressure with your finger.
- 6. Once you can feel the heat through the “envelope”, remove from heat source and cut into pieces.
- 7. Re-fold these pieces, stacked one on the other, and briefly apply heat again.
- 8. Using your fingers, mold the nearly finished product into a ball.
If you’re interested in trying the recipe, give us a heads up on how the finished product comes out in the comments section. We’d love to hear about your results.
INPUT FROM ALEX: I’d say this is more of a shortcut guide for hash than anything else. Nothing can beat fully prepared hash, but if you have a bunch of kief sitting at the bottom of a catch-grinder, this is definitely a solid approach.
Want to bypass the shortcuts and get serious? Make a batch of bubble hash.
4 Million Euro Worth of Drugs Destroyed
March 20th, 2007 by Alex
Ever wonder how Eastern European authorities destroy large amounts of seized narcotics? Me neither.
Just in case you’re still interested, here’s a quick photoset from Macedonia involving tons of drugs, a steel mill and temperatures hot enough to melt the Terminator 1000.
So what exactly was destroyed? Only 150 kilos of hashish, 250 kilos of marijuana, 80 kilos of heroin, 30,000 ecstasy pills and 16 kilos of cocaine worth a street value of almost 4 million Euro.

How To Make Hash
December 28th, 2006 by AlexMaking hash always seemed a little daunting to me. As far as ‘do-it-yourself‘ projects go, hash is much more complex than your everyday pot brownies.
This video explains everything in detail and will definitely take away any apprehension at going through with the multi-step process. It takes some practice, but man is it rewarding to make your first batch of brown brick.
Make a little, make a lot – there’s no limit on how much you can press.
