HASH IDENTIFICATION PHOTOGRAPHS - AFGHAN HASH
Strain:
Afghani (Afghanistan) - courtesy of aseasyasacb.co.uk/hashish.htm
Cultivation: Hashish is produced practically everywhere in and around
Afghanistan. The best kinds of Hash originate from the Northern provinces
between Hindu Kush and the Russian border (Balkh, Mazar-i-Sharif). As
tourist in Afghanistan it will be very difficult to be allowed to see
Cannabis-Fields or Hash Production. The plants which are used for Hash
production are very small and bushy Indicas. In Afghanistan Hashish is
pressed by hand under addition of a small quantity of tea or water. The
Hashish is worked on until it becomes highly elastic and has a strong
aromatic smell. In Afghanistan the product is stored in the form of
Hash-Balls (because a round ball has the less contact with air), however,
before being shipped, the Hash is pressed in 100g slabs. Good qualities of
Afghani are signed with the stem of the producing family. Sometimes Hash of
this kind is sold as Royal Afghani. Color: Black on the outside, dark
greenish or brown inside. Can sometimes look kind of grayish on the outside
when left in contact with the air. Smell: Spicy to very spicy. Taste: Very
spicy, somewhat harsh on the throat. Afghani can induce lots of coughing in
inexperienced users. Consistency: Soft, can be kneaded very easily. Effect:
Almost narcotic, produces a very physical and stony high. Potency: Potent,
sometimes very potent. It's easy to underestimate the potency of Afghani
since the high takes about 5 minutes to reach it's full potential.
(1.7%-6.5% THC) Availability: Quite rare, especially good qualities. Beside
Moroccan Hash, Afghani is the most common kind of Hash on the European
market. The price is usually higher than Moroccan but quality differs
greatly. If I have the choice of Moroccan or Afghani then I would go for the
stonier and more narcotic Afghani. Various: The softest Afghani isn't always
the best - coconut or other oils are often added in the originating country.
There is also some Hash-Oil which is being produced from Afghani, usually
the quality is excellent. Most people I know are bored of Afghani if they
have to smoke it for a long time, on the other side there are people who
love this stuff. Beware: Turkish Hash is sometimes offered under the name of
Red Afghani.
