Grat3fulh3ad,
I agree that the less time in the water the better as far as terpenoid content.
The only problem with resin collected from wet plants is that the resin has not gone through a cure, like you can do with dry plants. I prefer resin collected from dry plants because they are already cured for several months before making the hash. I find that uncured plants/resin can be harsh on my throat, but does have more taste, both good and bad.
As for smoking less to get higher when you do...
Chamba,
Yes that is one approach, but I am not sure that not smoking is the best way to get high. If you want the intense rush that you get when you have not smoked for a week, and it is worth not smoking for a week to achieve it, go for it.
I prefer smoking anytime I feel like it. I do not put limits on myself, and yes everytime I smoke a bowl I do get higher. As long as the resin is great.
I smoke very potent dry sift.
I try and find Cannabis that has little or no ceiling effect.
I am high all the time, but I do admit the peaks are less then if I smoked only once a week. But I like Cannabis and to be honest it is not worth the peaks to wait and smoke only once a week.
But I understand why some choose to follow this path they want maximum effect from their limited Cannabis use.
Dignan,
"A connoisseur, to my mind, would be someone with a very broad exposure to a very large number of cannabis varieties, and yet who has chosen to limit their consumption to more moderate levels so that they can fully experience each variety."
Interesting how you exclude heavy users from being connoisseur, I guess in your book I am not a connoisseur, but to me it has nothing to do with the amounts used it has to do with the love and understanding of the herb and resin, be it one gram a week or 50 grams a day.
