Wooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh there.
To make the best hash ,you need only ........
1. a peice of screen
2. A shit load of good herb...................really good herb.
All you want to do is shake........Not tear the crap out of........your herb. All you want in the hash that you will send me to sample is ,those little tiny resin nodules and perhaps a few of those little hairs that grow all about the bush.
Place a peice of waxed paper,(sizeable one) beneath the screen that you will hold in your left hand over the waxed paper. This is done because I am ,and have always been left handed.
Now place a bit of your herb on the screen and ever so gently shake the screen back and forth over the waxed paper so as to collect only the most fragile of gods gifts to you and the world ( that being the aforementioned nodules) ............but only briefly so as not to disturb ,and therefore shake through ,those droppings of both an insect and an industrial set of societies .
What collects on the wax paper is gingerly collected and smoked to the delight of all .
OR.......
finger hash
Play with your pot ,scrape the resin off your fingers ,then smoke the scrapings.
don't scrape too hard ,as finger scrapings do not burn well
The only time to use alcohol when making hash is if you wanna get sloshed 'while' you're making it.
