Heritage Hash - Retro Haze - A Legal Hash Review

[tobedetermined]

Heritage Hash – Retro Haze

Genetics: Purple Mountain Majesty (Trainwreck X Blueberry Muffin)

Grower/Producer: Canveda Inc

Overall: Not bad at all but . . .

Bag Appeal: It’s a lump of soft (but not oily) black hash. It came shipped in one of the trendy hash jars.

Smell: nice 70s hashy smell
Taste: sweet incense
Potency: 27.27% THC 22.95% CBD
Terpenes: 2.16% Farnesene, Caryophyllene, Bisabolol
Duration: 8.0/10

I have had a hankering to try a 1:1 hash for a while and when this one popped up on sale, I figured it was time. I have read that equal amounts of THC and CBD in a hash harken back to the old school street hash we had in the early 70s. The producer is a small company in Peterborough, Ontario who seem to pursue the medical market. This one is an ice water hash, so the low THC numbers are a bit surprising. At 27% THC, it certainly comes in at the low end of today’s potency spectrum but the equal amount of CBD might pile onto to make this a great painkiller. Or not. At least for me, it didn’t. I smoked a healthy snake in my Happle. The bliss started out with a bang but quickly leveled off to a fairly muddy ‘drunk’ style high. And as I mentioned, I saw no improvement in pain relief over any other hash or leaf choices I have.

Anyways, this one goes on the Why buy it again? List . . .

Available @ retail cannabis stores in Canada. $26.99/2 grams (Regular price $32.99)

Reads like a decent mid-day lunch hour hash.

Thanks for another good hash review, TBD.

That would describe it well. Your money is better spent elsewhere.

Have you found a hash that works as painkiller?

No. As far as I can tell, cannabis is an great diversion from pain, but not a real painkiller. At least not for the pain that I have experienced. It just helps your mind to wander so you are not obsessing about the pain. Combine that with some relaxation methods - mental, breathing etc - and it can really ease your discomfort from pain. For a little while at least . . .

Same here, I would not say cannabis has the same pain control as the morphine I take. However, cannabis is a good distraction and helps focus my thoughts away from pain. With the right plant it can be physically relaxing, calming to the mind, boost my appetite and help with sleep. What's wrong with that.

Some times a sativa dominant plant is useful for fatigue and doing outdoor projects.

I have wondered if I would find hashish useful for relaxing, a dispensary where I have purchased buds a couple of times has a selection of hash. Was thinking of buying 1/2 oz for ocasional evening use.

To me. smoking bud is always a tad zippy than smoking the hash version of the same bud. Maybe it is the hashishene.

1/2 oz . . . must be from a bm or indigenous dispensary rather than a legal store? A whole lot of the bm hash looks like nothing special domestic with a variety of different gold stamps. And I did have some decent hash pre-Covid from the Indigenous stores, that petered out.

You can buy hash from 1gr to a pound from $10.00 a gr to $15.00 gr...1/2 oz from $100.00-$180.00
A pound goes for 1,400.00-$4,400.00

Its bm dispensary / online mail order business

how it works for me as well, just alters HOW you process the pain you are feeling. i had luck with CBD for that purpose as well (placebo effect?) so this sounds interesting. i use high CBD hemp as "marijuana helper" mixed in a joint with some good pot toward the same end.

i had luck with CBD

I was hoping for a better combo effect that what I got with this hash since it is essentially a 1:1. That said, my main pain source is my stenosis at the moment and it is perceived nerve pain versus direct pain, so that may explain the lack of any noticeable effect from the CBD content. I intend to experiment again in June when I have my next – and hopefully final – back op. After my last back op in 2021, I only took Oxy on the first day, and then I smoked homemade Blueberry ice water hash pretty much solidly for the rest of the week. I went through about a gram a day but no other pain killers. While that BB hash is long gone, I do have a healthy stock of hash on hand and I am intending to try to use minimal opiates again - but I will also make sure to have some CBD rich samples on hand . . . for the science.

they gave my (now deceased) brother 5 oxy a day to deal with his cancer pain. he took one before breakfast, and smoked Blue Dream the rest of the day. he told me that "if" he had taken them as prescribed, he would have spent his last months of life in his bed looking out the window at the clouds/birds instead of going hunting, fishing, riding around stoned with the music cranked while i drove. you know, living life. "minimal opiates' you are on the right track! JMHO

I could take enough morphine until I was drooling or high dosages of cannabis cookie and most likely would only make the nerve pain feel worse. For me it seems to take a whole sort of different drug to minimize nerve pain. For me that is Gabapentin. I haven't found a cannabis product that helps with it.

The cervical spondylosis I have reacts to morphine and cookie handily along with my degenerating clavicle and shifting spine, I can't forget relaxation, breathing exercises and meditation.
I too would like to know if hashish would be good for inflammatory pain related to arthritis etc.

I'm trying to fill my medicine chest with all the cannabis products that might prove useful in my pain control.
Anything could happen at this time and stop me in my tracks with growing. I am trying to build up a 3-4 year inventory.

Since pain control is significant part of my life, always looking to see how other people deal with it.
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to share their stories.
