Greetings everyone!
Bit of a different post today, as I felt the need to talk about this.
As of recent, us here at Shroom HQ have been hearing an awful lot about the decreasing quality of commercial hash and skepticism in regards to the cleanliness of these products.
Because of this we've been a lot more vigilant with our inspections of potential products, recently we were offered 50 bars of this "Lemon Kush" Stamp Hash from a different supplier (pictured above) and it set our radar off right away.
The smell was an unnatural lemon aroma, with no undertones of hash at all, which for a commercial bar makes absolutely no sense.
It smelt way too much and had no signature hashy aroma the Moroc bars usually have. I would go as far as to say there was some form of added terps in this stuff.
Not only this, it bubbled super unnaturally. Like oils of some kind had been added. Once you remove the flame the hash was turning really black, which isn't right at all. Small bit of discoloration due to the heat is fine but a full carbon black? That is not on. Not to mention once burned / let to bubble for a bit, it will turn itself into a black ash-like substance with a small press. (as pictured)
Under further inspection we decided to try spotting some on a pin and it melted right away and fell off the pin. Kept bubbling while the hash was burning black so we put our Rasta Mafia (circled in red, perfect example of a clean commercial hash displayed by the oil ring around it and the clean ash) next to a bit of this purported "Lemon Kush" hash. 🥴
I've pictured the tests below, you can see the difference in ash quality almost immediately. The "Lemon Kush" (circled in green) smouldered a bit, ashed at the top and put itself out. Good hash will burn like incense when tested this way.
I highly recommend being very careful when selecting your hash, even stuff with good reviews has the potential for non-cannabis based contamination as proven in the last few days on the Reddit. I actually smoked some of this before realizing, and I now have a chest infection of some kind. Not fun and not something we'd consider selling to you all.
Some horrible formula hash, you'd really think they'd leave this stuff in the past, wouldn't you?
Let us know your stance on the matter below.
