Hashish - Good or menace to society?

Greetings all,

I don't know if this is more of a vent or not, but you can be the judge:

I used to sell red-seal hashish for my step-father when I was in high school (about a decade ago), it was good stuff, soft, really potent. He told me it was from Afganistan and it that it was "way better than that African hard hash that my buddies were smoking".

I used to sell it for 20$ per gram and 50$ per 1/8th. He told me that the hash was imported from Afghanistan to Montreal then delivered to my city by the Hell's Angels biker gang. He was also involved with bikers all the time, so I believed him.

My mother and him have since been through a divorce, I haven't sold anything since High school. I always knew all my life that they smoked hash and grass when I was growing up in their house. When I was a teenager, I would even snag a piece here and there when I was desperate. I haven't smoked hash regularly since about 10 years ago and since then, my friends have been telling me that the Hell's Angels control the hash market, and everytime you buy hash "YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE FUCKING ANGELS!!!", so that's why I don't buy it anymore.

To top it all of, I went to my family's camp a few weeks ago, and brought a joint of some really nice weed with me. They lit up a teeny tiny little pinner of hash mixed with tobacco for, get this, 6 of us. Did they really expect all of us to get high?

So, I naturally pulled out my joint. Everybody gasped:

Mom: "what is THAT, GRASSSS?????"

Me: "uhh, yeah, why?"

Mom: "Oh I'm allergic to grass, it makes me all congested,..."

Me: "what? what's so good about hash anyways, do you get so much higher off of it or something?"

Mom: "well, you see, we mix it with tobacco..."

Me: "right...and?"

Mom: "..."

Me: "Hash is pretty expensive compared to grass mom, isn't it still 50 bucks a half quarter?"

Everybody: "yeaH...how much was your grass?? 40 bucks a half q"

My Aunt: "you can go a long way with 10$" (she smokes grass too, I know because I used to roll her joints for her, she hates to roll.)

The conversation ended there, but I felt defeated, I showed up with a real nice joint and NOONE would even smoke it with me, in favor of their beloved hash. Well, at least I know who not to match up with in the future, lol.

It's just pretty depressing, I try to stay clean by only smoking good clean grass, that I KNOW where it came from! Hash, you don't know what's exactly in it, unless you made it yourself right?

Also, can anybody tell me if the Hell's Angels REALLY control all the hash in North America? If so, I want to throw this in there face next time they light up one of their pathetic excuse for a wannabe joint.

Anyways, forgive me if this is a long read, but this has been on my mind for a few weeks and has been bothering me. Any comments are welcome!

I agree, some do make their own, but often those that do keep it for personal use and don't sell it.

So, as far as "imported" hashish goes, and not "homemade", I've been told repeatedly that it's all controlled by biker gangs across North America.

I've also heard that the Angels control most of the Vancouver City ports. Anybody ever heard of this as well?

 

Sweet, I'd like to order a lb. of red seal please.
