Hashish - Bought my first today

So I bought some hashish today. I have never used hashish before, until now?

I bought it from a friend. He seems like a trustworthy guy. But he is a little crazy. It was packed in, and it was formed like a block.

It was hard, even when I held it in my hands for a while. I have heard it is normally not a good sign, but hashish from Marrocoo is usually hard. I took a knife to look if I could find any seeds inside, but nothing there. I took a lighter and watched the.... smoke. It was... milky white, almost gray. Smells spicy, smells like wonderful incense.

I only feel slightly relaxed. Probably because I am sitting here not doing much?

I want to know if this guy is credible, or whatever it is called. I do feel a little wierd, but I do not know if this is a placebo effect. Is this a placebo effect??

I posted this here since I would like a faster response. The hashih forum seems pretty deserted.

 

Hash usually comes in block form especially if it is Middle Eastern. Do not expect is to have such an extreme effect... all it is is "strong weed".

 

there is no one particular feeling you get from the placebo effect, but the effects you described could very easily be imagined.

hashish is compressed trichomes from cannabis. these are the little crystally things that contain almost all of the the THC in the pot, the part that gets you high.

it can smell and taste a little different from pot, but not too different. after all, its from the same stuff, theres just other substances missing, basically (the stuff that makes up the rest of the plant matter)

the effects should be almost IDENTICAL to pot. if you got unadulterated, quality hash, then a very small amount (say 1-5 hits) should get you pretty fucking stoned.

if you aren't getting stoned like you do when smoking pot, then its not hashish, or its incredibly low quality/adulterated hash.

 

but wait - where do you live and have you gotten stoned before?

 

Well, I am not "pretty fucking stoned".

So it is hard, and probably from the middle east? Is that a bad sign?

I live in Norway. I haven't been stoned before. I have only used alcohol, sniffed and chewed ritalin and concerta, and tried khat (sic?).

 

Well, if you haven't been stoned before, then it is very likely that it will hit you only on your 2nd or 3rd time. Many people do not get stoned thier first time.

Hash from the Middle East is usually better than hash from Europe, but ofcourse... it all depends.

Also, stay away from Ritalin and concerta, adderall time release gives a much better, yet similar effect, and does not have the come-down.

 

Thanks...

I've noticed that when I try to mold it, after warmed it up with a lighter (impossible with body heat), it falls apart. It isn't pliable one bit. Does that mean anything?

 

BULLSHIT! adderall certainly DOES have a comedown...i've taken multiple pharmaceutical stimulants for ADD all through highschool....adderall, concerta, metadate....taken it orally, sniffed a lot of it....ALL of it has a comedown, and if anything real amphetamines are actually WORSE. but anyway....

yeah, hash is more common in europe than in the americas on the whole, but this also means shitty hash is more common as well. theres no real way to tell where it's from, but if its middle eastern or moroccan its probably a good thing. like its been pointed out though, it all depends.

it should smell a bit spicy.

many people dont get high their first time. i did, i got fucking ripped, but the girl who showed me how to break up my pot, pick out the seeds and pack up a bowl and all that was telling me she didnt get high until after 6 or 8 tries. i know lots of people with similar situations.

i've never bought hash that was actually any good, which is unfortunate. i've boguht some TERRIBLE hash that was dense and hard and a nice dirty blonde color, but it wouldnt get me stoned worth anything. but then even kief (the crystals alone, unpressed hash) that i've collected with the same color has gotten me pretty stoned off of a hit or two. had the kief been pressed into hash, it would look the same as the bunk stuff i bought.

so who knows, really. it could be that you have bad hash, it could be that you aren't getting stoned the first couple times you try. the first time for me it took a good ten to fifteen minutes to even notice anything tangible, btw.

so anyway, just keep trying, and if you don't get high after a few tries its probably bad stuff. try and get some bud, its a lot more reliable because it can't be cut with stuff. since you're new to it and dont have a tolerance, even low quality bud should get you high. you'll KNOW when you get high your first time, though!

 

I never said it doesn't have a comedown, I only said it doesn't have the come-down of Ritalin.

 

also, make sure you're inhaling right. do you smoke cigarettes? if you do, you'll probably be tempted to inhale and imediately exhale. you can still get high this way, but it takes more pot.

take a small hit and follow it with clean air...make sure you REALLY inhale it and hold it inside for about 5 seconds or more and THEN exhale.

 

^ what he said.

You're probably smoking it wrong.

 

Proving Nesta's point, just for something to do

 

I expect you to be intellegent enough to see that it is implied.

 

regardless of whether the come down is exactly the same or not, adderall (dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine) DOES have a VERY steep comedown and if anything its WORSE for most people than methyphenidate, which is generally prescribed just because it IS a milder drug than amphetamines, with less intense effect and less comedown, making it more suitable for children except in more stubborn cases of ADD/ADHD. of course it depends largely on dosage for everything, as well.

 

I don't smoke much. Mostly cigars, if any. I held it inside me for about 5 seconds, but nothing happened. No effect...

 

Ok...If the smoke was white well thats a good sign. How about the ashes? White too? Also does it burn fast or does it take time to combust?

Most hash you will find with hookups will be not much stronger than actual bud. Unless you have a good one That's because of binders, or the fact the plants used were really weak. So maybe consider smoking almost as much as bud. Not all hashes are one hit wonders. Hell i can easily find bud better than standard morrocan. and sometimes what looks good, is shit! Once I made hash with trim that had been used to make oil (shame on me) , it looked so pale and golden but didnt get you high at all!

 

you dont smoke it at ALL the same as you smoke cigars. people used to cigars often have trouble learning to properly inhale cigarettes or pot. just suffice it to say if you're inhaling properly, you'll feel it inside your chest and throat....you can't just let it in your mouth, it has to go to the lungs. breathe it in like you're breathing in air, just take it easy.

of course there is still the possibility that it is supremely low quality or adulterated, and the possibility that you're just not going to get stoned the first few times you smoke.

 

Ok.

Grayish, I think.

If I put a bit directly on the flames, it takes fire at once.

 

Yes, I figured that. So i inhaled it. At first I held it inside me at most 2 seconds, but then I went down to 5 seconds and nothing happened still.

 

i'd go ahead and try to get some actual bud if i were you. it can't hurt. or at least get hash from someone else next time and see if that helps.
