Soma Jelly Hash
The Finest in The World
How to judge Good Hash
Pinch a small lump of hash (about the size of a match head) on to a flat
enamel surface or ashtray, and play the flame of a lighter over the hashish for
a few seconds. If it's GREAT hash it will light on the first or second attempt.
The harder the piece of hash is to light, the more likely it is that you've been
sold a 'lemon'.
Once you've got your test piece of cannabis in flames, let it burn for a
couple of seconds and blow it out. The embers should glow evenly like fine
incense or a hot coal. The smoke it gives off should be milky white to blue gray
with a heady, rich and sweet aroma. If you can smell rubber, this is never good,
and is another excellent indication that you've been shafted.

Once your hashish tester has burnt completely, you should look for a fine
white ash. If it's too dark, this indicates contaminants. These can be anything
from waste leaves to car oil. Around the ash, a ring of oil will form. The more
oil and the lighter it's color, the purer and higher quality your hash.
The secret 'recipes' of Moroccan hash-making are jealously guarded. Some
include honey; others use old car tires. As a general rule of thumb, if it's
easy to crumble when at room temperature and gives a rich aromatic smell, then
it's more than likely to be okay gear. If it's got more in common with the
consistency of a brick, and no real smell, leave well alone.
Smell and taste aside, some simply believe that if it gets you stoned and
makes you smile, it's good hash.
