With all due respect, I wouldn’t use this test as the gold standard

To be fair, I would. Resin glands don’t crunch. Simple. What would be your gold standard? I make a lot of my own hash, none of the grades crunch - ever!!

Right now I don’t know the exact scientific process but it’s not chewing lol

Crunch to me, my brain thinks what biting sand is like lol....is this what you mean?


The only other way to know what’s in it is to make it yourself ;)

Hash is an organic product so....there’s always gona be some discrepancies

Different if it was indoor grown weed but it’s not is it?

It doesn’t need to be scientific, it’s a simple test that tests for contaminants. Even if it was only sand, it’s still a contaminant. High grade hash isn’t mixed with sand, go to Amsterdam, their hash is clean because the coffee shops have long established relationships with the farmers. Good grade hash is pure resin glands. Why is it funny for it to be mixed with sand? If it even is sand. I’m saying this for the benefit of every hash smoker. I don’t see what you’ve got to gain by assuming it isn’t contaminated when it is. If your going to accept 2nd best and bury your head in the “sand” then there is no hope.

Would you believe that some people put profit before quality? Shocking, I know!!

In old school farms around Chefchaouen it's bits of dried flower, we're not talking about lab production here, it's being made on the open top floor of the farmer's house by his kids.

I'm sure some of the newer players are using a range of micron filters in a clean room, but that's not the norm (or wasn't ).

You describe something I know as Rosin, the substance which presses out of a bud with no solids.

Hash has never been the pure resin from a resin gland afaik, it has whatever plant matter is small enough to get through the screen.

I've been using uk 420 for months. Clean as a whistle. When its filtered through a 90 micron screen, you're pretty safe.

I’m sure some is legit, maybe it is filtered through a 90 micron screen In Morocco, but when it gets to Spain it is broken up and fillers added. Tell me does the hash you’ve got right now crunch between your teeth, even just a little bit? Like gritty. Even if it’s just a little it’s still cut. If it doesn’t I’ll give uk 420 a try. Resin doesn’t crunch, not even a little bit

There is a very slight crunch to it, I can see your point. What do they add to it ?.

That, I do not not know. In the best case I would guess henna, but am unsure. Could be something nastier.

Could just be dust or fine sand. Morocco is very dusty and dry.

Could be, I have thought that. None of it was a year or 2 ago though. Also the smell and taste of the hash isn’t right. Also the Moroccans are pretty good at keeping it clean, they know what they’re doing.

Thanks for the info, I know how corrupt the trade is, so am always dubious. Because hash is a brownish lump, it's easy to mess with. I have enjoyed uk420's hash, it's better than 99 % of the stuff I had in the 90s before the soap bar epidemic. I suspect he's selling some of the highest quality on here. Hashashin seems to have some nice looking stuff also.

Agreed. It is still much better than the 90s stuff. I’m sure it will get worse though, because everyone will accept it. In case you hadn’t noticed I am a complete cannabis snob. And also agree Hashashins stuff does “look” extremely nice. I have the Leb cream, but it smells weird and crunches between the teeth. So don’t really want to try it.

One of reasons why i used UK420 for the pureness. Grab a henry see how you go. Not done your teeth test though. But have on stuff im smoking now, not from here and no crunch and imho UK420 conoisseur stuff should be up there, if not better than that.

I've been using uk 420. Best purest hash on here. I think the crunch is tiny particles of sand that get through the screens stuck to the resin glands etc. Morocco is basically a dust bowl, I'm surprised in a way that it isn't more crunchy. Indoor hash won't have this, because it's grown in a sealed environment.

Yes that is true but Morocco hasn't suddenly become dusty in the last couple of years, my guess for what its worth is that Spanish dealers are trying to recover some of their losses from recent unprecedented seizures, Harryhogan is right - if the market accepts it then it will continue.

2 different “10/10” hashes, under microscope. It is not sand. It is something to bulk up the hash thus making it impure. Like I said before this is a new thing. The hash from a year or 2 ago did not crunch. It was clean. This stuff isn’t clean, don’t try and convince yourself otherwise. Pure hash doesn’t crunch.
