> what is 'hash oil'?
|
||
|
||
Its a thick black oil made from hash. The hash is heated and pressed to
|
||
release the oil. (Same process used to make hash from marijuana, but carried
|
||
to an extreme.) Its almost like a tar; very sticky, very thick.
|
||
|
||
> how is it used?
|
||
|
||
I've never seen it in the US, but When I lived in England, some 10 years ago,
|
||
it was occasionally available. It came in two forms; sometimes it would be
|
||
in a little plastic vial. Other times it would come in a piece of aluminum
|
||
foil. From what I recall, the point was not to burn it, as that would burn
|
||
off the active ingredients; but you wanted to inhale the vapor from it.
|
||
|
||
The usual procedure was to get some heat resistant tube; the favorite was a
|
||
the clear plastic tube that is the body of a bic disposable pen. Pull out the
|
||
end cap, and pull out the ink/ballpoint thingy. Result: a clear plastic tube.
|
||
Then, smear a small amount of the oil on a piece of aluminum foil. Hold the
|
||
foil with pliers. With the oil on top, heat from beneath with a lighter.
|
||
Hold the end of the tube above the patch of oil. As you begin to apply heat,
|
||
suck like hell. The pliers (or something) are necessary because foil is
|
||
an excellent conductor of heat, and you can burn yourself. It may take
|
||
several heatings to use up all the oil from a smear. (You'll note this takes
|
||
three hands!)
|
||
|
||
For a nicer piece of equipment, take an old tablespoon. Bend the handle so
|
||
that the handle bends away from the bowl, and then back so that it is pointing
|
||
up away from the bowl. Attach same pen tube to the handle so that it points
|
||
down into the bowl of the spoon. Smear oil into bowl of spoon, and heat
|
||
spoon from bottom. (This only takes two hands.)
|
||
|
||
Another technique, if you roll your own cigarettes, is to smear a streak of
|
||
oil on a cigarette paper, and then roll a cigarette with this paper.

|
||
I grew up in England, and when I was in high school (pun intended? ;-) there,
|
||
all we could ever get was hash. For some peculiar reason, no one ever thought
|
||
to use pipes. So we had to roll cigarettes with roll-your-own tobacco, and
|
||
put crumbs of hash in them. Sometimes, to avoid the tobacco, we'd use
|
||
disassembled clove cigarettes, or herbs like tarragon.
|
||
|
||
If you've never used hash, (which I've never seen in the US,) it comes as a
|
||
brown-green brick, which is VERY hard. You warm a corner over a lighter to
|
||
soften it, and break crumbs off of it. You can't roll j's with this stuff; its
|
||
solid. (Sometimes, good stuff is very dark in color, even black; this is
|
||
usually very soft, and if squeezed, drops of hash oil may sweat out.)
|
||
|
||
I don't seem to recall it being very common to find head shops where you could
|
||
buy smoking equipment proper, but tobacco and rolling papers were very common.
|
||
I don't think equipment was common, because I do remember a couple of pieces
|
||
of homemade equipment; one friend of mine made a bong in his ceramics class. I
|
||
made one with a thistle tube, cork, glass tubing, and erlenmeyer flask from
|
||
a chemistry set of mine.

|

No, make that very, Very, VERY sticky. Sticks to everything. stays under
|
||
your fingernails for weeks after you've tried everything imaginable to get
|
||
it out (and you try everything imaginable because the milligram or so that's

stuck there is worth some money). It ruins clothes; the only thing that

will take it off your skin or countertops is denatured alcohol or a similar

|

>> how is it [hash oil] used?
|
||
|
||
It turns up at dead shows occasionally. A "friend" had some that came from
|
||
jamaica, which is where he assumes it was made.
|
||
|
||
"friend" says the smoke is better than the vapor.
|

|
||

|
||
|
||
Don't use a ballpoint pen unless you like to waste money (oil, same
|
||
difference). This stuff costs a fortune--"friend" says $35/gram when you can
|
||
get it. It's really not worth it at that price. Anyway, as far as heating it
|
||
vs. warming it, "friend" says he's tried it both ways. Both ways it's real,
|
||
real hard on your throat (worse than the harshest weed--almost as bad as that
|
||
"black morrocan" lettuce O shit). It's a little harsher if you do the vapor
|
||
thing. "friend" says seems to be more effective smoked, plus you waste less.
|
||
|
||
best vapor method: put an old knife on a stove burner ("friend" used an
|
||
electric stove; use a gas job at your own risk). let it get nice and hot (red
|
||
hot isn't too hot, but of course you don't wanna deform the knife...). Get a
|
||
paper towell tube or similar-size tube. GATHER EVERYONE AROUND CLOSE. use a
|
||
real thin screwdriver or similar instrument to get a little dab of oil, stand
|
||
ready with the tube, press the screwdriver against the hot blade and suck.
|
||
don't take too much; it's got incredible expando properties. The stuff will
|
||
smoke uncontrollably till it's gone, so make sure everyone gets in their suck
|
||
without letting too much go to waste (it's good if everyone has their own
|
||
tube).
|
||
|
||
The aluminum foil method is okay, but "friend" thinks it's a little more
|
||
wasteful. Eventually ya gotta throw that foil out.
|
||
|
||
"friend" says best way to do it is to roll it with some herb (tobacco kills).
|
||
Another good way to smoke it (according to friend) is to line a screened bowl
|
||
with rolling paper or leaf and put a drop in there.
|
||
|
||
However you do it, take SMALL hits. the shit is lethal on your lungs.
|
||
|
||
Actually, now that friend thinks about it, the best way to do it is to put
|
||
about 10 grams in a 13x7" brownie pan with your favorite brownie recipe. cut
|
||
into ~1.25" squares. Eat one and have a wonderful night (sex is highly
|
||
recommended). Eat two and become part of your favorite couch for 5 hours or
|
||
so. Eat 5 or 6 and find out what heroin's like without having to mess with
|
||
needles.
|
||
|
||
Of course $350 is a hell of an expensive pan of brownies.
|
||
|
||
>I always found that hash oil was much stonier than hash. (Whatever that
|
||
>means.....) It gave me more of that feeling in my eyes of being in a smoky
|
||
>room when I was stoned on plain hash or mj leaves.
|
||
|
||
friend likes good hash better. Easier to smoke, tastes better. Right about
|
||
the buzz tho. VERY intensly relaxing, almost paralyzing.
|
||
|
||
>Of course, this was all long ago, and I don't do that sort of thing anymore....
|
||
|
||
Of course, neither does friend.
|
||
:^)
|
||
|
||
A word of advice (from friend): BE CAREFUL when buying this shit. It's real,
|
||
real easy to get ripped off, and doling out $35 for a gram of roofing tar is
|
||
quite a bummer.
|
||
|
||
Is hash oil mentioned in a faq? I'm too lazy to look. If it's not it should
|
||
be.
|
||
|
||
Oh, friend tells me to add one more thing: heating up the vial will make the
|
||
stuff a lot easier to deal with (liquifies it). Also makes it more prone to
|
||
spillage, so take great care when handling it in its liquid form. You can
|
||
heat the vial with a lighter or put it on an electric stove burner.
|
||
|
||
God, my friend is such a drug-craving unAmerican lowlife.:^)

This comes from a friend of mine that doesn't have net access, so I won't be able to supply further details...

1. Run all leaf through a wire mesh sifter (such as a kitchen flour sifter)

2. Completely soak the leaf with ethyl or isopropyl alcohol for about 4 or 5 days.
|

3. Strain resultant product through silk (used for silk-screening)

4. Evaporate remainder by applying very low heat from kitchen stove

Caution: be very careful - the product is *quite* flammable

[It was noted in a followup that ispropyl alcohol is generally sold denatured,
|

so that its vile to drink. The chemicals which denature it, however,

*should* get evaporated by step 4, and further combusted when you smoke it.
|

Therefore the effect of these chemicals *should* be minimal, but since I

Use acetone instead of alcohol. THC is SUPER soluble in acetone - soak
|
||
the ground-up leaves in acetone, then distill it off. best purity from
|
||
any solvent I've ever tried. Next best choice is petroleum ether. Seriously,
|
||
alcohols are too H2O - soluble for really good purity - lots of other
|
||
nonpsychoactive stuff gets in the oil.
|
||
|
||
P.S. once you've got the oil, it's REALLY sticky & hard to handle. mix with
|
||
2 parts powdered leaf to form good hash.
|
||
|
||
you're welcome.

Subject: THC extraction
|
||
|
||
Just for fun. Here are some exerpts from the Experimental section of
|
||
a paper by Adams, Hunt, and Clark, JACS 62, 196 (1940).
|
||
|
||
The hemp used in these experiments grew wild in Minnesota during
|
||
the season of 1938. It was cut in August, after flowering had
|
||
begun but before seed had "set" in the female tops. It was stored
|
||
for six weeks in a room where a fan assured circulation of air in
|
||
order to dry it completely. No molding occurred. The material
|
||
was then beaten and shaken to remove the coarse stems which ammount-
|
||
ed to about one-third of the total dry weight. The stems were dis-
|
||
carded and the relatively fine material that remained was extracted
|
||
with 95% ethanol [equivalent to Everclear] in the manner described
|
||
below.
|
||
|
||
Four 20-gallon (75-liter) crocks, each holding approximately 23 lb.
|
||
(10 kg.) of material, were set up in series for countercurrent
|
||
extraction. Each crock held approximately 61 liters of solvent of
|
||
which about 41 liters were withdrawn at each transfer, the remain-
|
||
der being retained by the hemp.
|
||
...
|
||
The operations just described were carried out by Dr. John R. Matchett
|
||
and his assistants in the Narcotics Laboratory of the Treasury
|
||
Department, Washington, D.C. They kindly furnished us with a gener-
|
||
ous supply of ethanol extract. [don't you wish you had connections
|
||
like that?]
|
||
|
||
The rest of the procedure involved removing ethanol and low boiling
|
||
components under reduced pressure (about 30 mm) and gradually increased
|
||
temperature (up to 200 C). The remaining oil was distilled at 3 mm,
|
||
between 100-220 C. This crude oil (180-200 g) was disolved in petroleum
|
||
ether (b.p. 30-60 C) and washed twice with water. The pet. ether was
|
||
distilled off and the oil distilled at 2 mm, collecting the fraction
|
||
boiling at 175-195 C, yielding 90-110 g of "purified red oil."
|
||
|
||
So that's how the big boys did it back then. University of Illinois
|
||
students and alums should note that the author Adams is none other than
|
||
Roger Adams for whom the chem lab is named.
|
||
|
||
At the time this paper was written it wasn't known just what the active
|
||
ingredient in pot was. Cannabinol was the first compound identified in
|
||
red oil, and cannabidiol had just recently been isolated. From the
|
||
conclusion of the introduction:
|
||
|
||
Red oil probably contains other products closely related to canna-
|
||
binol or cannabidiol in structure, such as partially hydrogenated
|
||
cannabinols, isomers of cannabidiol, or molecules like cannabidiol
|
||
with less unsaturation. A large number of closely related compounds
|
||
is possible. The active marihuana principle or principles may be
|
||
among this group of substances. On the other hand, the possibility
|
||
of the presence in red oil of a very potent active compound, entirely
|
||
unrelated structurally to cannabinol or cannibidiol, is not excluded.
|
||
|
||
Very soon after that is was determined that THC was the active principle.
|
||
Roger Adams synthesized THC and several related compounds, some of which
|
||
were several times more potent than THC. Roger Adams has a number of
|
||
interesting papers, Joe Bob says "check it out."

Also, there was much discussion of "double boilers". You use a double boiler
|
||
whenever you are trying to heat, and evaporate volatile liquids. It should
|
||
be reasonably obvious that this is necessary to boil off the [acetone|alcohol|
|
||
isopropyl alcohol] which you would mix with the hash. A double boiler is
|
||
simplely a large pot with water in it, which contains a smaller pot with the
|
||
"pot" in it. The water in the large pot boils, heating the smaller pot but
|
||
never exceeding the temperature of the boiling point of water. Thus, there is
|
||
a much smaller risk of blowing yourself up.
|
||
|
||
When dealing with flammable liquids like these solvents, proper ventalation
|
||
is required, and flames are an absolutely contraindicated. There is a stupid
|
||
text file running around the net on how to "make" Methamphetamine, which is
|
||
actually a procedure for extracting psudoephedrine. One of the brilliant
|
||
suggestions by the authors of this article was to evaporate by placing a
|
||
solvent on a hot water heater. This is dumb. Real dumb. Particularly if
|
||
you've got a gas hot water heater with a pilot light. (Can you say "Kaboom"
|
||
boyz & girls? I knew you could...). Be a little careful.

|
||
|
||
I don't ever touch marijuana anymore, but I had to comment on the correct
|
||
method of smoking hash oil. When I was younger I had a girlfriend who lived
|
||
in Calumet, in a little house on the edge of town. Across the road was
|
||
an old tailings heap covered in long grass that waved in the wind. Anyway,
|
||
she loved to drink ginger brandy and she loved to get high. She had some
|
||
hash oil that summer and we smoked it together. Actually, I had more fun
|
||
smoking it being high afterward. It was really too strong. But the smoking
|
||
method was a kick, and it didn't waste any of the oil.
|
||
We would sit at her kitchen table and heat a small, thin glass pipe
|
||
with a crook in it, but no bowl (there had been a bowl once, but it had
|
||
broken off, and it was not needed for the method) and heat the lower part
|
||
WITH A PROPANE TORCH. Once the glass was glowing red, one of us would
|
||
dip a wire loop into the hash oil and apply it to the inside of the lower
|
||
extremity of the glass tube while the other person inhaled.
|
||
The oil vaporized instantly, but some always precipitated on the inside
|
||
of the pipe. After a few hits, we would 'cook' the pipe with the torch along
|
||
its length to get this resin out.
|
||
I maintain that this method, as opposed to others described, is truly
|
||
efficient and easy--AND YOU GET TO WAVE A FLAMING PROPANE TORCH AROUND
|
||
WHILE GETTING UNREASONABLY HIGH!!
|
||
|
||
[Disclaimer: If you need a disclaimer to point out the potential danger of
|
||
doing this, then you're too dumb to live and we can just think of it as
|
||
natural selection in action -- Lamont]

|
||
Subject: HASH EXPERIMENTATION
|
||
|
||
I read with interest a compilation of older net messages regarding the usage of
|
||
hash oil and hash block.
|
||
.
|
||
What I say here may not be 100% correct, but if not, I'm sure someone will
|
||
straighten me out a few points. Spelling etc etc etc is not my strong point, so
|
||
please bare with me.
|
||
.
|
||
If you have heard it all before, let me know! I'll keep my big trap shut next
|
||
tyme! Similarly, NZ supplies of things may be different from USA.
|
||
.
|
||
OIL.
|
||
.
|
||
Usually brought in capsules that used to contain prescription drugs. It is very
|
||
dark in colour (darker usually is the better quality) but has a slight
|
||
brown/green tinge to it depending on process used to make and the quality of
|
||
ingrediants.
|
||
.
|
||
It just so happens that this particular oddity is almost as common as grass in
|
||
New Zealand, and represents better value for money. The average J over here
|
||
would set you back $6 NZ - That's 1/3 of a B @ $20NZ. I have never payed more
|
||
than $40NZ. This represent a good deal of stoning, about double value for money
|
||
from the original green!
|
||
.
|
||
BLOCK.
|
||
.
|
||
This stuff is not as common as the above. Harder to make, and best made in
|
||
*large* quantities - Thus the home manufacturing idea goes out the window,
|
||
unless you are charging the earth.
|
||
.
|
||
Again, $30-40NZ for an average block, although occasionally one or two come
|
||
along a little more expensive. I think the expensive stuff (well... These are
|
||
street prices, so I know it's ALL looking expensive... Work out our exchange
|
||
rate by the way...) comes from inland resources, where as the cheap is Jamican
|
||
origin, or therabouts.
|
||
.
|
||
My prefered of the two? Well, let's just say that you loose $5 worth of hash
|
||
for ever $30 you manage to intake. You probably loose less (money speaking) of
|
||
oil than block. For that reason - OIL!
|
||
.
|
||
However, (oh gawd, here we go!) block is truley magnificient when dropping
|
||
shavings of the stuff straight onto an element. It isn't really a portable
|
||
drug, block, as it needs a lot of work to take.
|
||
.
|
||
CONSUMPTION.
|
||
.
|
||
Don't know about you guys, but we just use some sort of funnel placed over the
|
||
approx area of burning. Works fine, never bothered with anything more
|
||
complex/expensive.
|
||
.
|
||
A tip for the outdoors - Tin Foil held up by some sticks over a candle, and
|
||
just drop block onto it. For oil - Try a laying out some decent size spots (1x1
|
||
inch) and get all your mates around with straws!
