what u are really doing is trying to collect the tar resin of the plant. so anything that produces that tar would be fine...i guess leaves and stems would have some. but u would need a whole lot of stems to get some hash.

if u wanna hear more about my 'harvest time'. my hands were also covered with black tar...took at least a week before i didnt smell like hash tar anymore. i could roll my palms together and get a black thin resin ball and smoke that if i wanted but frankly didnt need to smoke any for a few days. after the first 2 hours of smoking and handling large 6+ft tall plants...i didnt need to do much of anything but grab em and drag em on the screen.

they had a 2 screen system. one above that is very hard and course that was about 3ft off the ground and one about 1 foot under to catch any of the extra drag. take the 'tree' and cut it up by stems of 3 ft. and drag it a few times on all sides then take ur palm and smash it into the screen on the side to catch some juicy tar-ish mix and after u have a few plants done...u gather all of the tar with a 'spatula' type of metal device and put it on a wax paper area. ud be suprised how much tar u can get off of a fresh 6ft plant. i dont know the size but ill bet we had a 1.5 lb blob by the eod. it was very soft and maliable. but as it got to the eod...it started to harden and by the next day it was fairly hard. they would then wrap it in a wax type paper and send it off to the broker. he came with a few guys...gave him about 28$ for this blob and would come back in a day or two for the next batch. this guy did about 100 or so 'blob's a year. the whole thing took 3 guys about 3 hours and im sure i slowed em down...i think they made about 2-3lbs without me a day. but man there is no way u could do this every day...u would be so baked all the time.

i never saw all the fields but ill bet he had a few acres worth of plants. and i also gave him 100$ to let me do all of this and the guy gave me about 2 ounces of his very best stuff. i was traveling and didnt want too much on me and would never have crossed the border with it.

fyi...opium is pretty much the exact same process. and im not a hard core kind of guy but a bit of fresh opium and some good fresh hash and u are one happy set person. and always, always smoked out of a water pipe.
