Many of us use a bit of temperature or even heat to press our hash, either coming from the pressure with handpressing, or from an additional source.
In many of the traditional hash producing countries heat is used to press the powder and get it "into shape".
What I would like to know is:
Why isn´t this apparently not a problem for the trichome powder, but an absolute do not for bud?
I mean we all know that heat degrades THC, - don´t we?
And what kind of chemical changes do actually accur while the hash is heated?
I would be happy about an anwer that could bring a bit more light into this.
After two small bonghits of my incredibly tasty bubblehash I was dreaming a bit about the art of hashmaking, and the fact that it´s a never ending learning process,- which is actually a good thing.
This particular hash( 73 micron bubble) turned out brownish golden, even after being pressed, not as oily as others before, but it bubbles and has a great taste,-... oh my,- and the potency is good also
Different type of plant, different trichome texture, different hash,- what a complex and enlightening artform!
