A Practical Way To Make Hash (Hashish)


What follows is a brief description of one modern method of how to make hashish. It is a small scale, small time method. If you want detailed, illustrated instructions of this and other methods, both modern and traditional, of making hash in small and large amounts, get the book hashish.

This method of making hash will be easy to follow for most people. I have made the amounts small, so you can see if this method works for you, without using much weed. If you like the method, use larger amounts for a larger yield.

Bear in mind that you need a lot of marijuana to produce good hashish. Using the sieving process to make lebanese hashish requires up to 100 grams (about a quarter pound) of marijuana to make one gram of top quality hashish. More hash would be obtained from this 100 grams of marijuana but it is a lower quality than the one gram of primo.

Premium hashish will knock you on your ass if you are not used to it, but it is not practical to generate large amounts of fine quality hashish unless one has access to a very large amount of pot. You will get less than a gram of hash per 7 grams of marijuana with the method described below, quality and potency will be determined by the marijuana you start with.



You will need:

1/4 to 1 ounce of good marijuana buds
glass jar with a cap (12-24 oz)
strainer or some window screen
coffee filters



Dry the marijuana buds (keep temp below 90 degrees F) and crush them up with a pair of scissors, a coffee grinder, or something similar.

You want the marijuana to be as powdery as possible. Strain the powder through a strainer or some window screen to remove any stems, seeds, or other non leaf material.



Add the powder to a 12-24 oz, or larger tall clear glass jar with a cap, do not fill the jar with more than 1/4 marijuana powder.

Add very cold, or ice water till the jar is nearly (7/8 ths) full.
DO NOT USE WARM OR HOT WATER
USE COLD, OR ICE WATER ONLY
Put the cap securely on the water - mj mixture and shake for as long as it takes to get the powder mixed into the water, this is harder than it sounds because marijuana is not water soluble.



If you have access to a paint mixer, put the mix on for 5 minutes or longer. If you are doing it by hand, make sure there are no clumps of plant matter then stop shaking the mix.

Wait for 30 minutes or longer, open the jar and remove the plant matter floating on the top. Put the material you remove in another jar and repeat the process to try to get the remaining resin.

Wait for 15 minutes or more (till hash has settled to the bottom and the water at the top of the jar is clear), keeping the jar as still as possible, carefully pour off the water to within 1 inch of the material at the bottom of the jar. The bottom of the jar material is the hashish.



Fill the jar that contains the hashish material with cold water like before. Shake the jar for a minute or two and then let the mixture settle for a minimum of 15 minutes. When the hash has settled to the bottom and the water at the top of the jar is clear, carefully pour off the water to within 1 inch of the material at the bottom of the jar.

Pour the hash material through a coffee filter. Make sure you get it all, it is potent. After the water has drained through the coffee filter, use a spoon to push the resin to an edge of the coffee filter, then roll the hash up in the filter, and gently squeeze out more water. After that wrap some paper towels around the filter and drain more moisture.

Scrape the resin out of the filter and you have hashish. If you want to smoke the hash in a pipe you will have to press the resin into a solid mass by using your hands. If not, the hash will turn to a liquid when heated, and flow past your pipe screen.
