Real OLD SCHOOL - Cherry Oil

Hashishh said:

This threads been an interesting read.. I'm a new-timer but grew up with the stories of the red leb hash and cherry oils of the day.

I did a quick google and this might be something to look into as a matter of fact. It's all hearsay and rumours, but perhaps something worth mentioning. They state it could have been a type of rosin.

I was going to mention them as well. Seems a lot of people are saying much the same that's been said on here. I wonder if you could find any rosin on the market similar to it?
I know of a book called Hashish! By Robert Clarke and I wonder if it makes any mention to cherry oil as it talks about the red Lebanese that was around at that time. Ill have to ask around and see what some people around here say.

On that Pakistan Citral Kush, I've been trying to hold back on buying a pack of them from Ace for a while. A few of their landraces pique my interest so it's hard keeping an order under 200 bucks ha. If I ever get around to growing it I'll have to do some experimenting lol.

Number one was the first oil I saw. paid 20 a gram in the day when lids were 12 bucks between friends.

Really nice Lebanese hash used to go for 3 bucks a gram.

Sounds interesting.



Maybe there was some CBD (associated with cherry flavors) in there and I'm thinking possibly over ripe to get the color.
Just a guess though...

yes, I hear you on that one.....cost over runs...lol
im afraid to know what ive actually spent in the past few months
getting my grow set up....going on


ive bought seeds, 15 in a pack....about $100 CAN
from swami....I wanted to go with a distinctive "cherry" pheno
so I selected cherry bomb ...original mr. greengenes, from swami


out of 15 seeds germinated, I had 5 grow,
3 of which turned out to be male, and had to be destroyed
so that left me with 2 plants female (they are doing good-still veg. stage)....but still only 2 plants...


ive built a custom metal rack system for lighting....at my work place (im welder so that was handy)...
then built a custom cabinet to enclose said metal rack....
the cabinet cost me about $250 in materials, lined with (mylar -$50)....bought a clone system,
2 sets grow lights (fluorescence bulbs - $250) dirt, pots, nutrients, clone dip....ect ect...


I think im at least $700 , - 2 plants
however, most of its intial set up costs


I fully intend to process into high thc, resin oil...tasty
I prefer a thick viscosity myself, thicker the better


my end product will more then likely be a light reddish brown
not red, but will have cherry phenos -terps


my next experiment grow, will be the pakistan citral kush for sure, definitely interested in that one.....
google that bud, and look at the colors at maturity...purple-red


and the one after that will be, the Lebanese Red landrace
don't know where I can source that yet, but im at least a year away from that...
at the same time im also working on uncovering red oil recipes, which I have 2 so far....
so im hitting it from both ends...recipe and material (weed)


also, the stuff you can buy at dispensaries today they call cherry oil....is bullshit, pure bullshit -not even close
I had real authentic cherry oil, late 70s a couple times...so I know first hand... they call it cherry oil, because of its reddish tinge
this is likely due to winterizing honey oil...so basically its just honey oil, winterized....has absolutely nothing to do with cherry oil


cherry oil of the late 70s-early 80s.....was devine
expensive, but delicious, tasted like cherries, smelt like it tasted when burned, clean, great euphoric high....and red -yes red
it was called cherry oil because of the way it taste and smelt
it actually smelt like cherries when you burned it


it was on the scene for a short while, then all of a sudden gone
never to be seen or heard of again....we're talking 38 yrs or more


im trying to revive, this lost art
and can do with all the help I can get....
there are some on here that remember that stuff too...


it made appearances in NYC as well as Toronto....so international cities with major international airports -signs of a ring
that ring I believe was BOEL -speculation there


be sure to let us know about the book reference, if you discover anything more related.....thanks so much

Out of curiosity, have you thought of trying to press rosin? I've never done it and have little knowledge but I wonder how much tonnage you would need on a press? Being a welder myself I've made a few pipe benders with a bottle jack for certain projects and wonder if a bottle jack might do it?

I'm getting genuinely curious on the subject as I remember my dad making mention of it a few times but I'm not sure it's the same oil you're talking about. Ill have to ask him next time I talk to him and see what his thoughts are.

I agree it does sound like something of a trafficking ring whether BOEL or another as it made its way into a lot of cities in Canada as well as the states and overseas I believe.


Im worried now as the strains have been diluted in those regions so to speak so you may never be able to recreate it 100%. I've had some old schoolers try the "imported" hash from various sources. All marketed as black afghan and Moroccan. They say its close but just not the same. It makes me question whether it actually is import, and if it is - how much different are these plants from 30 or 40 years ago?

Food for thought!

id heard that old school cherry oil was made in thailand from a rare strain then exported mainly to usa and canada. about 15 years ago there was a guy online who sold it along with 2 other types of oil. he was called oil of paradise and a well know canadian MOM used to stock his products

Moreover, the brotherhood was not content merely to smuggle and market hashish. Under the guidance of one of its chief chemists, the brotherhood developed the manufacture of an even more potent product called marihuana or hashish oil. In the course of our investigation, six such hashish oil laboratories were seized. A typical labratorv such as that seized at Escanaba. Mich., could produce approximately 21/2 quarts of hashish oil per day. Normally, a single drop placed within a regular cigarette would constitute one dose, and approximately 15,000 doses could be derived in this way from 1 quart.

Marihuana— or hashish— oil was first encountered in February 1972. Since then the number of exhibits received has increased and so has the potencv as measured by the percentage of tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC) present. During fiscal year 1973, 49.3 pounds of the drug were seized with an average THC content of 46 percent. This is a highly potent and concentrated hallucinogenic substance which can be manufactured with relatively simple equipment. As such, it must be regarded as a novel and threatening shift in marihuana abuse which should give those who advocate its legalization cause to re-think their position.

A total of six hashish oil laboratories were seized, along with over 30 gallons of hashish oil and approximately 6,000 pounds of solid hashish. Of these six laboratories, four were being operated within the United States, three of which were in California and one in Hawaii. Two others were being operated within foreign countries; one in Costa Rica, and one in Afghanistan.
