I smoked so much hash on Tuesday morning that I'm still ♥♥♥♥ high.

Wow, sounds like you would've had a heck of a week.

I heard hash isn't the same as weed. As in, they're both marijuana, just in different forms. Verify?

Hash is a very concentrated extraction of weed where you take the plant and extract its resin with a solvent like isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) then you filter out the plant material and evaporate the alcohol, leaving behind a small quantity of a thick, tar-like residue. This residue is hash, and contains the THC and other chemicals present in weed at a much higher density.

Close. That's only one kind of hash, iso-hash, and imo is more of an oil than true hash. Hash is generally made with ice water and a series of strainers, the goal being to knock the trichomes off of the plant. The trichs are then compressed to make a solid, doughy, sticky smokable product. Some grinders have what is called a kief catcher, which is a screen that the ground bud drops onto, and the kief (or trichomes) falls through. You can clean your grinder and press this stuff to make hash. Another type is known as scissor hash, which is sticky goodness scraped off of scissors used to trim your bud. There are more types than this, but you get the basic idea.

Now, the difference between hash and oil is its relative solidity. A common oil, BHO, or butane honey oil, is made by packing bud into a metal tube like a pipe bomb, with a cap with a hole on one end and a screen on the other. You hold it screen side down, and pump butane into it. Liquid butane (and it comes out of the can liquid if you hold it upside down) is a fairly powerful solvent, and will strip the goodness right off the bud. You let it drip onto a flat, wide piece of glass (something to corral it, such as a thin strip of metal covered with teflon or something to reduce stickiness would be a good idea) and let the butane evaporate. I suppose at this point I should point out that it is a really, really, really, REALLY ♥♥♥♥ bad idea to do this inside, or anywhere near a flame of any kind. You can and will kill yourself if you do this inside. Anyway, let that ♥♥♥♥ dry, and you'll have some nice, concentrated BHO.
It gets its name from the colour!

I'm unsure whether to be mildly disappointed or not. I went camping this weekend and some friends brought some weed. Needless to say we smoked it and they all got pretty high, whereas I only got a bit more chilled out and enjoyed the scenery more. It wasn't bad (I enjoyed it quite a lot) but unless I'm doing something wrong I'm not sure why I didn't get as high as everyone else. Differing tolerance or something?

Was it your first time?

Second time. First time I only had two hits though, this time it was close to fifteen.

My second time involved Grandaddy Purp and I smoked just as much as everyone else, and I never felt anything more than a slight buzz.

Do it again and your experience will greatly differ.

That's the plan. I've got the summer ahead of me and it was enjoyable nonetheless.

I got to do some of my first cleaning, and almost all of what I'd done was sticking to my hands. When I washed it off, it felt like my fingers were scales. I tried a harsh li'l pipe made entirely of metal, and played some Atari Flashback. Fun stuff. First time that I wasn't falling asleep regardless of vertical position.

Also, I'd like to know some recipes for brownies, and whether or not they would be easy to make. Thanks, guys.

And I forgot to mention, I had one hell of a headache after the experience, and am trying to figure out whether it was derived from wearing the same beanie for two days straight, or from the activities. Tell me what you think.

For people who aren't feeling anything when they smoke weed, remember that the effect is much more powerful when the smoke is held in the lungs. Simply breathing in the smoke allows very little time for the active chemicals to diffuse in the lungs. I have noticed this sometimes when I smoke a very large amount and get hardly any effect, because I was just puffing at the pipe, breathing alot of smoke. Basically light your pipe, suck in a big hit, hold it in, and suck in another one if you can. After keep your chest expanded for maybe five seconds, let the air out. If you did it correctly, very little smoke will come out because almost all of it was absorbed by your lung capillaries. I cannot stress the importance of this enough, doing this method can make the difference between having a slight head buzz and a few staggering, balance crushing hours of awesome visuals and ♥♥♥♥.

I, for example, smoked four marijuana cigarettes in a row on consecutive nights, and felt nothing the first two times because I was merely trying to burn up the cigarettes as fast as possible, since I live in a dangerous area to smoke. This generated a ton of smoke and I felt next to nothing (even though it was really good blueberry kush.) The next night I smoked two cigarettes but sucked longer and held in each hit for a few seconds. After the first cigarette, I was hardly able to strike a match to light another one, and after the second, I was shuffling through the field like a zombie, completely blazed, with my eyes wide open. Even though it was pitch black I could see the leaves below me in full color, glowing in an off-color way similar to night vision. Lots of other crazy stuff happened.

Anyway, what I'm saying is that its basically a waste of weed if you smoke it the wrong way. I was afraid I had built up a tolerance at first, but when I realized how I was supposed to smoke it every hit was like my first time.

Uh....'marijuana cigarettes'? Does anybody really use that term?

Of course, you young whippersnapper!

People call weed all kinds of things.

I'm holding the weed as long as I can, and my lungs are pretty big says some science forum experiment results. I got a little higher today using a bucky rather than a pipe. Was enjoyable, I'll have a little more fun packing I suppose.
