hand rolled hash

[Old Toby]

Hi all i didnt know were else to put this! Has anybody ever tried making handrolled hash or charas, i believe it is when you rub your fingers along the stems of your plant long enough till you get a residue that can be rolled into a ball and smoked. any info appreciated!

A friend told me they called it smoking "fresh" in India (I think...). The field workers would rub all the resin off their hands at the end of the day and get stoned.

Don't rub your hands on the plants/buds on purpose - that will decrease their quality significantly - let the finger hash happen naturally while you deal with your crop (there's no point to do this with purchased bud - use the cold water or screen method, or just buy hash). Wash your hands thoroughly before manicuring your crop and then proceed. You will soon notice that you have sticky fingers, and that there is brown residue on your trimming implements. Scrape this residue off (using your fingernail) once it builds up and set aside - be patient don't do it too early or too often, in fact do it only once the hash starts impeding your use of the trimmers (trichomes plus heat/friction equals hash).

When you're done your fingers will be sticky as all hell (hopefully you've not been touching things and getting them contaminated). Just sit there and rub your hands together and watch as little brown strings form. Keep going and eventually you'll get larger clumps. Set these aside along with the clumps from your trimmers and continue until it stops coming. When done, knead it all together like dough and get smokin.

If you have really dry hands it will be tough to rub the hash off; after washing your hands apply some moisturiser (sparingly! nobody wants to smoke moisturiser), wait for it to absorb (try not to get your hands dirty again in the mean time) and proceed.

Yeah ConopiaIndijska +rep

About the only thing I could add is maybe that if you had some alcohol wipes (isopropyl ones) to clean your hands before, they'd be cleaner and afterwards when you have got most of the hash of your fingers you could get someone to squeeze the alcohol out of a wipe onto your fingers to get the last bit off, it would only take a minute or so for the little bit of alcohol to evaporate from the hash leaving it smokable
