Anyone remember the idiotic urban myth about burying low-quality dope in the ground for a month so that some kind of fungus could magically convert lousy weed into something with higher THC? I actually knew a dude who did this and he was definitely not the dumbest toker in my social circle. I never got to sample the stuff he buried, though.

that myth got spread around because it was in a 1971 book named "Steal This Book" by Abbie Hoffman.
the book was mainly satirical but many of the heads took it very seriously.
it had a chapter in it called "steal yourself rich" in which hoffman said you could sell & scam people with phony hashish made out of camel shit...when i read that, i knew the book was a put-on an just a deliberate sarcastic joke.
also in the book was a instructional paragraph on how to make some quick cash, he said to put a dime in a newspaper vending machine, then swipe all of the newspapers and sell them on a nearby corner.
i loved that dude.

Anybody remember buying hash oil that came in a beer bottle cap wrapped with aluminum foil?

It was decent but all we could do with it was smear it on the inside of a rolling paper or use a glass pipe that had a ball on the end with a hole on top.

And then you proceeded to literally choke yourself haIf to death hitting it. The harshest thing I ever hit, but after you were done coughing, you felt pretty good.

Iso-2. They were all over High Times when I was a teen.

It's basically a small reflux extractor. The isomerization gimmick was just a gimmick.

Too bad. I really was attracted to the idea that you could find wild hemp growing in a ditch somewhere and turn it into something worth smoking.

You know, I spent hour after hour walking around Texas and Oklahoma looking for actual cannabis "weeds," the hemp plants that supposedly "escaped cultivation," and I never found a single one. According to what I had read and heard, there should have been millions of them growing in vacant lots and uncultivated ag land, but they must all be in Kentucky or somewhere I never got to visit. I could see lots of weeds that looked somewhat like cannabis from a distance, with the five-finger leaves, but once you got within 10 feet of one you could tell it was something different. Ragweed, maybe.

He might have been right about that. I recently did some very lazy Google research on how hashish is made and trafficked in places like Morocco and Lebanon. Apparently some sleazebags will sell stuff that has been "cut" with animal manure. Other adulterants mentioned were henna and shoe polish, I kid you not.

And then there is "goat hashish," a product of Pakistan. They sew it up in a freshly killed goat or sheep skin and allow it to age for several months.

Lots of hemp known in the Midwest as ditch weed wild along country roads. Won’t make you feel anything. Farmers contracted during WWII to grow hemp and these are descendants and Asparagus can be found right with it in sand county country.

We called pin and jar 'hash under glass'.

The stuff we have today is way better IMO. That old Gold Colombian was impressive but it still had seeds and I've grown better stuff than that. We probably all have.

Everybody makes their own hash now, just screen or bubble bag some trim, you can gently heat compress it and it looks just like the old blonde hash (if you don't accidentally get a dog hair in it like me.)

The only thing that was better were thai sticks and they were beefed up with opium oil, something you probably should reject for your health and sanity.

I would like to learn how to do this. Do you know a legit resource that goes into detail on the process?

Bro Malawi cobs are not a myth. You can make them yourself and that fermented bud is fire. You don't just bury a bag of weed though... you got to seal it up right in a corn husk and let it ferment without molding and going to shit.

it's easy but you may end up with a stiff & sore neck doin it.
first you need something like an old glass peanut butter jar, then you will need a piece of cardboard that you stick the pin through.
next a drinking straw an the nearest uncluttered counter top.
light hash till it smolders, then place glass over hash...it will cloud up the glass, then bend at a 45*degree angle an slide glass over till you can fit the straw underneath, inhale the smoke through the straw...just don't wait long because the smoke gets very harsh after a few seconds.
then when you're done, put on a neck brace...
