How to Make Hash Oil The Easy
Way
How to make hashish, increase the potency of your
marijuana, and salvage bad weed that was unfit to smoke.
Do you want to know how to make hash the easiest way? It
is very simple, and this method works for just about any grade of
marijuana/cannabis, even clippings, trim, and plain old bunk.
Do you have some weed laying around that wasn't good
enough to smoke? This method will salvage whatever can be salvaged from
lousy weed, greatly improve its potency, and even turn bunk into
something that is useful (for emergencies, anyway)..
Step 1. Get some alcohol
The active ingredients in marijuana dissolve readily in
alcohol. You can find rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) at any drug
store. It is cheap -- usually about a dollar per bottle.
BE SURE YOU DO NOT GET
DENATURED ALCOHOL. Denatured alcohol contains ingredients
that can be POISON. "Denaturing" is a process where they add
ingredients to make the alcohol unsuitable for human consumption. If you
use "denatured" alcohol, you will wind up with hashish that is
unsafe to consume, and it will probably taste terrible, too.
If you cannot find alcohol in your drug store, you can
also use any high-alcohol content rum or vodka, such as Everclear. If
you are going to use rum or vodka you should note that the alcoholic
beverage may contain additional ingredients that may modify the flavor
of the resulting hashish, or make it harsher to smoke. Plain alcohol is
to be preferred, and plain alcohol is cheaper.
Please be extremely careful when you are handling
alcohol. Do not smoke or get near open flame while you are doing this
process. Alcohol can be extremely flammable, and it burns with a flame
that is often hard to see until it is too late. Some methods elsewhere
recommend evaporating the alcohol off by heating the mixture on a stove.
I would NOT recommend that. For one
thing, the alcohol vapor can be extremely flammable and, because the
flames are hard to see, you can have a big problem (like the whole house
burning down) before you know it. For another, the alcohol vapor can get
you very seriously drunk in a hurry. Seriously. You can a couple of good
whiffs and be staggering.
Step 2. Grind up your
weed.
You will get the most out of this process if your
cannabis is ground as finely as possible. You can just soak the leaves
whole and get satisfactory results, but grinding the weed will allow the
alcohol to get to all the plant fiber to get the most out of it. Just
put the weed in a blender and let it run until the material is
thoroughly pulverized.
Step 3. Soak the
marijuana in alcohol
Put the marijuana in a jar that can be sealed tightly
and pour the alcohol over it. Put enough alcohol in so there is enough
to cover the marijuana completely, and then some. Let it sit for about
24 hours. By the end of 24 hours, the alcohol will have turned
distinctly green. (If you have real bunk, the alcohol may turn brown.)
Step 4. Filter out the
plant fiber
Pour the liquid through a coffee filter into another
jar. This will remove the plant fiber and give you a green alcohol
mixture that contains alcohol and the active ingredients from the
marijuana.
Step 5. Let the alcohol
evaporate.
The final step is to pour the mixture into a bowl and
let it evaporate. Depending on the amount of alcohol in the mixture, it
might take a day or so.
Some other methods recommend heating the mixture on the
stove to evaporate off the alcohol. This can be
dangerous, as described above. It is far better to just be
patient and let the alcohol evaporate naturally. It takes a little
longer, but it is far safer and a lot less work.
This will leave you with a form of hashish. The result
will be a thick green kind of tar. It can be difficult to work with or
smoke, just because it is so concentrated and sticky, but it is useable
at this point.
Step 6. Enjoying the
result
Smoking it in a pipe.
If you put this hash oil in a pipe, it will bubble and
cook like road tar. Because of this, getting a good high from it may be
difficult with conventional smoking methods. It is not that you can't
get high -- you can -- it will just be more work than smoking a joint
and you may wind up with a clogged pipe. Think of how difficult it is to
work with road tar and you will get some idea of what it is like.
Vaporizing it
An alternative method is to put the hash oil in a spoon
or on a piece of tin foil. Then heat the spoon or tin foil from below
and inhale the smoke that comes off it by using a straw. Using a
conventional vaporizer is not recommended unless you use something to
protect the vaporizer from the hash oil melting down into it. Hash oil
can be difficult to clean up, and you could just wind up ruining an
expensive vaporizer.
Pouring it over other marijuana
An alternative method is to pour the liquid onto another
batch of marijuana, and let the alcohol evaporate from that. The end
product will be easier to smoke if you do this, because it has the plant
fiber to help it burn. You probably don't want to pour it over really
good grades of weed, because it will probably change the flavor for the
worst. However, if you have some marijuana laying around that is only of
mediocre quality, it can improve the quality significantly and make it
acceptable for smoking in desperate times.
