Lebano

[lorenzo Losa 8]

Hello men, I would suggest to go to Lebanon especially in the valley of El Bequaa, where more is produced the famous Lebanese gold, after Charas

Moroccan and it takes a bit of Lebanese ...Bye

A pity what happened with the Lebanese, in the 70ies there was a wider variety of hash available all the time, not only the light green morrocon, the many Himalaya Kush hash types from Afghanistan, pakistan, Nepal, Kashmir and Manali from india was the most expensive / strongest.

A little bit of dark green turkish wafle plates wrapped in plastic were found far in between AND of course the linen sacks with 1 pound of Lebanon, looking like a huge Discus for sports.

The quality was all over the place from the light greenish yellow to buttery red (called the Queens hash) and that is exactly what the world misses today !

Nothing beats that shit for taste. I never forget looking at my stash wrapped in alu folie during an open air festival in southern germany with the very first continental appearance of Bob Marley & The Wailers. (Like magic some african weed appeared minutes befoer the show out of nowhere )! It was blazing hot and the Lebanon had actually melted in the hot sun like choolate or butter , so oily and full of resin...

When war broke lose they mashed up the quality pressing out oil from the good hash and selling the trash Lebanoin for 3 Gulden a gram or so. From that quality blow the lebanese hash has not recovered yet. The Bekaa era is known for growing every kind of drug and opium/heroin has become a hard contender; but from the youTube sides there are still people growing cannabis in Lebanon. Large brown plants with that typical earthy red/yellow color. They put al the pollen in large stacks and then press it in linen cloth in varying sizes 500 gram 2.5 kilo and so on.

One of my favorite pastimes was taking the cloth and cooking it in hot water as a tea - Great.

Challenge your ocal coffeshop to search for the GOOD red Lebanon, the most sticky types are so tasty but I said that already..

Unique !

Sounds very nice..

[Bam-Bhole 1,903]

It tastes nice, too.LOL

Problem with this stuff and some Himalya variations like the famous "Schimmel-Afghan" was the quality control.For every nice score there was the occasional let down with nearly no use and that is, why Marocco hasj won over the world. The qualities are basically always the same level and what makes it superior you don't get tired of the high or the taste unlike most other brands, that can either get too harsh/heavy for strong everyday use over longer periods or that just don't get you high anymore after a while.

Still - this good type is worth searching inn my opinion. Haven't seen/bought anyy decent Lebanese since 30 years plus..

The yellow is too light. Any decent morrocon steps over it..

damn would love to have 1 of those bags ^^

Thanks for sharing

They were the scarves around the face as you can see plus their is very good dry air flow. They try to get the pollen as dry as possible. I heard the lightest makes the best and the stuff at the ground is commercial lower grade. I am sure this is just a first step, For producing, pressing they will select qualities again. THe dust is not perfectly dry yet, otherwise they would not shuffle it around.

This is a big time operation.

I was tol that in n the days of old naked black slaves or in some cases virgins were lead into the fields to collect the resin..LOL

First day of harvest, the the usual procedere..

[Bam-Bhole 1,903]

Wow, they actually dry the plants just by putting them on the ground under the blazin' sun in the fields it seems...well organized and guarded I bet !

[Dust 6,284]

yeah we can see that in the malawi expedition too i think, some place of morrocoo they dry on the roofs lol

Sure that Dust must not be very healthy to breath wut once cmpacted man must be delightful
