making hashish

Hashish may be prepared from the extracted cannabis oil by mixing it with finely-powdered marijuana. The oil may be at any stage of refinement. Extremely strong hashish is obtained by using oil which has been isomerized, acetylated, and refined through removal of non-psychoactive compounds. Along with the potency of the oil itself, the ratio of oil to powdered marijuana determines the strength. In order for the hashish to be the proper consistency, a minimum of fifteen per cent oil must be used. This gives a product with the same consistency as powdery Moroccan or Lebanese hash. Fifty to sixty per cent oil (about equal parts of oil and powder) is the maximum amount of oil that can be used to give a product with hashish consistency. This product will be very strong and resemble in appearance and consistency the sticky, pliable charas of Nepal and India. Powdered marijuana of the finest consistency is obtained by the following method: clean, very dry marijuana is pulverized in a high-speed blender. The material may be dried in a preheated oven (25O°F) for fifteen-minute intervals. A very fine dust will collect on the blender top.

The three stations are utilized as follows: The equipment and bottled chemicals are put into the right-hand side of the box by lifting the hinged side piece. The apparatus is prepared at this station and operated in the middle at station two. The bottles are opened at station one, using the gloves, from the outside of the box after the side flap is closed and the atmosphere has been replaced with anhydrous nitrogen gas. The operator need never be exposed to the dangerous chemicals except within the controlled atmosphere of the box. The side walls of the box are made of thin plywood and hinged at the top (in italian: semi cannabis). This serves two purposes: access to the box is available from both ends, and in case of explosion, the force would be expended through the side panels, while the thick, reinforced front boards protect the chemist. Conversion of THC to its acetate THC is converted to THC acetate by refluxing for two hours with acetic anhydride. The following apparatus is assembled as illustrated in the diagram: 500 ml Pyrex round-bottom boiling flask with a ground glass fitting.Tubular type condenser with ground glass male fitting that matches the fitting on the boiling flask.

The bottom layer will contain water, alcohol, and the substances in the oil (tars and resins) that are not soluble in petroleum ether. The thin middle layer is an emulsion of waxes, ether, and air bubbles. The top layer is the purified oil dissolved in petroleum ether. The jug is fitted with a two-holed rubber stopper, glass tubing, and rubber hose. Two pieces of glass tubing are fitted into the two-holed rubber stopper. (Injuries when cutting and fitting glass tubing are frequent—cut ends are always fire-polished and hands must be protected when any force is used in fitting the tubing.) One piece of tubing need only protrude from the stopper an inch on each side. The other tube is positioned so that when the stopper is tightly fitted to the jug, the tube extends into the mixture to a half-inch from the bottom of the ether/oil layer. The other end of the tube is attached to a length of rubber tubing to transfer the ether/oil solution to a collection jug. The end of the tubing must be lower than the end of the tube in the ether/oil solution in order to obtain a siphon action. A short piece of rubber tubing is fitted to the short glass tube, and air pressure is applied to start the siphon.

Bubble hash is a relatively new term given to pressed hash made from pure trichomes. When you fire up traditional hashish, impurities in the resin will burn. Pure, unadulterated cannabis-trichome resin will bubble and melt like butter when flame is applied. As my friend Bubbleman says, “If it don’t bubble, it ain’t worth the trouble.” I met him while visiting Breeder Steve’s (Spice of Life Seeds) garden in Europe. Bubbleman is the inventor of the Bubblebag, unequivocally the best water-hash-making kit you can buy. The extraction technique is not new, but his six-screen system gives you control over your quality and quantity ratios, allowing you to isolate the best of the best. Oh yes, there’s much more to life than just smoking kif. Collected trichomes, also called kif or resin powder, easily press into solid pieces of hash. This can be done many ways. The finished product, in my opinion, ranks among the world’s greatest hashish. This smoke is truly fit for kings. Potency can be more than 50% dare I say 75%, THC! The health benefits and tremendous – your lungs will thank you. Take away all that vegetable matter, and all you inhale is THC and the pure essence of the plant. Since you remove the trichome heads intact, oils containing the essences that carry the taste to your palate are also captured. Producing this royal hash from your leaf trimmings and sub par buds is very easy.

Each bag in the Bubblebag kit has a screen sewn into the bottom, each with a different size mesh measured in microns. The six screen sizes are:220U, 190U, 160U,73U, 45U, and 25U Depending on how much material you’re working with , use either a 1, 5, or 20 gallon bucket. The bags go inside one another, smallest to largest. First, place the 25U into the bucket, then the 45U, and so on until the last bag, the 220U. The 220U bag is the work bag where the material is placed for blending, so it’s considerably stronger than the others. Now add water and ice to your bucket and bags, to a level just above the screen. This will keep your materials from falling through the dry screen. Keep in mind that water is our friend through all of this; it keeps most contaminants afloat. Ice is very important to the process, too. It’s the icy-cold water that makes the glands brittle for easy separation from the plant matter.
