Hi syrinx.
In Israel many people that comes from Yemen also love khat. I eat it a couple of times and was nice except the taste (fucking bitter). Now, you can find there capsules of khat.
If you want to grow some khat from seed, you can find them here

hand rubbing can be done with dry bud too (so long as it's cheap and plentiful enough as it's not the most economical method..but it's fun and it works!) I did this with Thai bud once whe I had an abundance of ganja one time in Pattaya and didn't want to carry bulk around.... and the results were very strong!

so if you find yourself somewhere where there's heaps of cheap bud, you are sick of smoking it and want something with a bit more zing and you are without your mesh screens then rub your hands lightly together (with your fingers pointing away from you) over the pile of loosely ground up bud with a gram or so inbetween your palms, let the plant material fall back onto the pile of bud. Then every so often when you notice a build up of resin on your palms, lightly clap your hands together over the pile to loosen off the plant matter then spit on your palms, and rub them together with strong pressure over a newspaper or sheet of glass so the resin falls off..then lightly rub some more bud....light, fast rubbing works best!......it takes a long time, but the result is a dark soft hash ...I didn't press it but rubbed in back into 5 ~ 8 grams of the best buds I'd set aside so I super charged the bud........I remember wiping out several people with this super grass on two occasions, ( that'll teach em for laughing at my warnings "trust me, this stuff is very strong it's half hash"..ten minutes later they were laid out - KO-ed...lol

Happy Hashing!

Charas/Churrus/Chars : "different names for same product. Hand rubbing is mostly know from Nepal and India but it is also used in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia countries and even up to Tuva Republic !

Rubbing charas from young plant is only made for commercial purpose, the stuff from this is not that great.

In Afghanistan/Pakistan Charas also is the name for cooked&pressed polm, which is called garda. The plant is name "Chars" in Northern Afghanistan.

Was in Kullu valley and Peshawar last spring, got nice charas for sure ! here's a bit of pics !

Irie !

I always hated pollen, becouse i live close to turkey and there is CROWDED with pollen...

but sometimes, very rarely, we can taste some real prime charas far better than the crap you can find in amsterdam (i've been there for 6 months).

Anyone like the creamy, earth-flavoured and spicy tasting charas?

Farmer John · 11-22-2007, 10:44 PM

Yeap I love it.

Well cured clean charas, m-mm....

gramsci.antonio · 11-22-2007, 11:20 PM

yeah.

One hint: Be carefull. How to discern afghani hashish from charas:

- They are very different, afghani hash is way cheaper to make and less good

- At relatively high temps charas can get REALLY hard as rock, to melt again after a bit of playing. The higher temps it stays hard the better

- HIGH quality charas smells of earth and are spicy, afgan smell more sweet. Difficult to explain, easy to understand with two sample

- Old skool charas smoker says: "if there's hair inside, it's better"

- Charas is DARK black also inside (very very fresh charas is whiter, but it's almost impossibile to find out of india), afgan when you break it sometimes is lighter brown, or looks like a shiny black. Charas just a deep black.

11-24-2007, 10:17 AM

the charas you make yourself is black inside and out too (due to the resin heads being squashed together)

you can make charas from dried buds as well..even with brick weed if you had to

though it's not the best hash making method, but if you find yourself in a place with lots of cheap ganja and no equipment then try this method

....lightly break up the dry buds, remove the stems and quickly and lightly rub the material between your two palms together over and over again....after awhile there will be resin build-up sticking to your palms....every minute or so or rubbing the buds, off to one side, lightly smack your hands together with a light rub to help the plant material fall off then off to one side spit in your palms and rub them vigorously together over a sheet of glass to help the resin roll off your palms and the hash will roll off your skin then do it all again....

keep rubbing handfulls of the crumbled between your palms with a scoop up then rubbing in an upward motion, light enough so most of the scoop falls down after 3 or 4 rubs of your palms together in a prayer position

it won't take long before the material is crumbled fine, but keep rubbing until it takes too long to get sticky palms.

...you can use a blade to scrape up the black putty and hand press it into a ball .....keep rubbing the material as above (a few ounces) like this for an hour ..it's hard work..but before long you will have a nice amount of DIY charas.

Nice tip Chamba, in fact, I would only use that method with brickweed or incase I had access into large amounts of high quality ganja :wink:

You can find various charas qualitys in Afghanistan, as in Nepal, Pakistan, Egypt etc..

Point be: India isnt the only place in earth with high quality charas and this is coming from personal experience...

Maybe some kind soul can show us some high quality charas, maybe?
