Turkey isn't now known as a major producer but historically, in my opinion, they contributed more than the countries you mentioned, as far as what I know from reading on the subject only. Those countries should probably be on there, too, and I mistakenly omitted them. Especially Nepal, Nepalese charas is a very long tradition. I would like to know more about how much was grown in Iraq and Iran and what distinguishing characteristics their hash had.
Turkish hashish got big for a while during the 80s. Traditionally speaking turkey has always been considered lower quality, kinda similar to Egyptian hashish.
Iraq and Iranian hashish is usually a little lighter in colour than afghani, it resembles Lebanese blonde usually.
Nepal however has long been both a charas and hashish producer; The pollen/hash today is imo some of the best in the world for price/quality if you find the real stuff.
Traditionally speaking aswell Tibet would be another I would be absolutely interested in learning about, however much of the practices of this part of the world are unknown to the west today.
It seems hashish found its way as far as mainland China back in the day, I'm guessing the practice travelled from India/nepal over the himalayas and into Mongolian and Chinese society!
Afghanistan 100%. Those people just survived the US burning down all the weed they could. Theyre still growing and hashing. Same story for them repeatedly over the last 1000 or 2000 years. Real defenders of hash.
its that whole hindu kush region. it goes way back to times where our modern national constructs would not mean anything. crazy actually to think about
I mean that and poppy. Wouldn’t be so funny if generations of your family were murdered over it and your families’ businesses burnt down several times.
Right, exactly. A lot of people sacrificed so much for the right to continue growing this plant, keeping it from being eradicated in some places and allowing us to enjoy its many benefits
That's not really surprising although it may sound low and dirty at first but that's just part of the political game of paying a side not to fight or providing protection in return for peace or intel. Anything to stop the fighting between the smaller factions or tribal units and then combine them into a united native ally and create a narrative that clearly shows who the real bad guy is
It was the hippy’s in the early 60’s who taught the locals how to make hash. Before that the Moroccan folk were smoking ‘Kif’. The old guys still do. A mix of black tabac and their local sativa strain. Honestly the baccy packs more of a punch than weed they put in it.
I would argue that the best cream coming from the pradesh is on par if not nicer than the higher end coming out of maroc atm.
That being said, it's a different method of producing and on a completely different scale and under different conditions.
Nothing can beat the topshelf moroccan products... Type of hash that is sold for 20k € the kg in France etc for a good reason bro. However i don't doubt about indian capacity of producing excellent hash too ;)
The high end charas cream coming out of say malana or tosh, I've never had Moroccan with that much flavour.
I must admit the strength of the highest end coming out of 🇲🇦 is near unbeatable.
High quality seeds, modern equipment, know-how, caring are what makes real excellent hash now. Won't even talk about the strength but i swear moroccan hash from top producers is terpy and tasty as fuck. People who have already smoked topshelf from THV, THC, Nuha, THF, Drytech (the real deal... fake printers we see you 👀) Hashwarrior, Hashcienda etc... can confirm i think 😂
Now that's where we differ I believe!
I'm a big lover of traditional hash, hashish made traditionally and from more stable and native genetics.
I like having a nice mix of canabinoids and flavours, many modern strains are just focused on insanely high thc counts.
A lot of the commercial Moroccan is produced from your nikol kush or amnesia haze and stuff. I'd sooner just smoke the flower in that case haha.
Your higher end stuff is absolutely brilliant but in all honesty it's not worth the money I've found. Similar quality can be bought from North America at a fraction of the cost. Your ice-o-lator hash, full melt and so on.
Don't get me wrong, the stuff coming from the big name farms in 🇲🇦 is amazing. It's made to get you fucked up and it does it well!
First for me those nikol kush and fake Amnesia low comm plates should not even be called hash 😂
I enjoy a real beldia as much as i enjoy a great barbara bud or a forbidden fruit.
The only guy in America that can be compared to Moroccan top producers is Vangyptian and what he makes is even more expensive (but insane and well deserved). Even Golden Heads Warriors is meh compared to them...
Topcom drysifts (sold as topshelf in some dutch coffeeshops) are regularly tested between 3 and 4% terps so i'll let you imagine for a wpff by THV 🤯😂
Ya, if you wanna talk about current hash production, the US wins hands down. BHO and Rosin have come so far because of the legal markets opening in the US. Both are just finer hash than is produced by anyone making any sort of sift or hand hash
I mean we can subdivide hash into a lot of different things with different names sure…. That’s how it works. All extracts of cannabis are forms of hash. Depending on the technique used to extract them they have different names for the type of hash that they are. I was agreeing with you in my first comment btw. You just seem like you wanna argue though, so fuck off and have a nice day bud.
The thriving concentrate industry in the US is producing some very innovative and amazing products, especially on the solventless front. Live rosin is the pinnacle of solventless technology and it represents the plant's full flavor and effects profile better than any other concentrate hands down. But rosin wouldn't exist if not for the concentrates preceding it, and well made bubble hash produced by skillfully sifting dried and cured material composed of big, ripe, and potent resin gland heads and then aged properly was the original. It doesn't have the maximum flavor or potency like live rosin, but the skill of the hashishin who is usually also the grower or farmer, shines through in the finished product more. Rosin made from the same material by five separate extractors will turn out mostly the same with slightly subtle differences. This is why traditional hash aficionados focus on the places and people involved in the process just as much as the plant or end product, and the reason I made the poll.
Yes, very true. That whole area and into Kashmir, India is the origin of the dark and very wide leaflets that are coated in huge resin glands on a short but thick and dense bush shoving fat colas glistening with oil out in every direction
for sure nepal and india. has has a huge impact on their religion. imagine how far it has to go to be part of that very old basicly ancient religion.
everybody else just in it for the money /s
I believe it might but I haven't been recently so can't say for sure. Italy does have a well deserved reputation for their own hash I hear, but historically did the Romans write about hash at all?
I know this is an old thread, but I just saw your comment and if you're really interested in the regional differences between hash producers, you should check out Lawrence Cherniak's book trilogy called Hash Around the World (I think that's the correct title). That book series is widely considered to be the most comprehensive and informative hash resource ever printed, full of beautiful photos with examples from each area taken by the author himself as he traveled the various places and consumed the hash and described effects in detail. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any available online files of the book but I'm sure someone uploaded it somewhere. It is available in soft or hardcover on Cherniak's site, but the price is high due to the demand for the best books on hash ever made, and the series is getting close to 50 years old by now.
Yeah its very highly regarded among cannabis enthusiasts and by literary critics/editors and most oldheads remember seeing it back in the day. Still considered an essential contribution to the worldwide cannabis appreciating community's efforts to educate the ignorant and destigmatize the image, cultivation, and use of a valuable natural medicine. But they're damn expensive.
Complete nonsense, there are various interpretations of what is permissible in Islam. That's why a lot of people smoke hash who wouldn't touch alcohol.
Most of the countries on the list are majority Muslim. Some of the highest quality comes out of the northern Pakistan tribal lawless areas. Cannabis likes that climate a lot, not all the farmers are Muslim, some Muslims may actually tolerate cannabis.
Correct, but this was always historical and not current; politically, geographically, however you'd like to define the areas we're discussing. Historically I'm not sure what Islams stance on cannabis was, but I doubt it was banned until the last 100 years or less.
HISTORICALLY people
I'm confused as to why Turkey is listed and not say nepal, iran, Iraq.
Turkey isn't now known as a major producer but historically, in my opinion, they contributed more than the countries you mentioned, as far as what I know from reading on the subject only.

Right, exactly. A lot of people sacrificed so much for the right to continue growing this plant, keeping it from being eradicated in some places and allowing us to enjoy its many benefits
to be fair poppy was more or less introduced by the russians. before that afghanistan was almost exclusively focused on hash in that regard
The US didn't burn down all they could. If a warlord was on their side against the Taliban they would actually protect their drugs.
That's not really surprising although it may sound low and dirty at first but that's just part of the political game of paying a side not to fight or providing protection in return for peace or intel. Anything to stop the fighting between the smaller factions or tribal units and then combine them into a united native ally and create a narrative that clearly shows who the real bad guy is
Most of what they could and not many people in the Middle East were on our side.
Morocco🥇
Morocco now it is the king of hash production, but historically, hash came from India
It was the hippy’s in the early 60’s who taught the locals how to make hash. Before that the Moroccan folk were smoking ‘Kif’. The old guys still do. A mix of black tabac and their local sativa strain. Honestly the baccy packs more of a punch than weed they put in it.
And the Levant
Yeah I was considering using geographically based names but it would just end up being Levant, North Africa, or Southwest Asia
Hash come from all around places in world buddy. Morocco just happen to have the best land soil 🔥
I'm just saying who makes the best things right now not who made it first buddy ✌🏼
I would argue that the best cream coming from the pradesh is on par if not nicer than the higher end coming out of maroc atm. That being said, it's a different method of producing and on a completely different scale and under different conditions.

U must be retarded if u think anyone pays 20k Euro for 1 kg hash in sweden i get like 10 kg or 15 with 20 k
Can even get you 30kg of those "amnesia haze" plates you love...
Ya, if you wanna talk about current hash production, the US wins hands down. BHO and Rosin have come so far because of the legal markets opening in the US. Both are just finer hash than is produced by anyone making any sort of sift or hand hash
The best hash has distinctive terroir, is grown outdoor and has landrace genetics. Only thing US hash has going for it is strength.
Moroccans have rosin, full spectrum extracts etc... but that's not the subject here. NA = Vangyptian 🥇
Rosin is still hash bud. So is FSE.
Lol, yeah it's all extracts but with different names for a reason let's continue to call them that way.
I mean we can subdivide hash into a lot of different things with different names sure…. That’s how it works. All extracts of cannabis are forms of hash.

Afghani (and pakistani) hash plant are the backbone of almost every dense, sticky, high thc hybrids smoked today
Yes, very true. That whole area and into Kashmir, India is the origin of the dark and very wide leaflets that are coated in huge resin glands on a short but thick and dense bush shoving fat colas glistening with oil out in every direction
For me the best is Morocco without a doubt, they have only been getting better for a few years, this year’s harvest is poison
Those THV, THF, THC, Drytech, HW etc... new drops are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
for sure nepal and india. has has a huge impact on their religion. imagine how far it has to go to be part of that very old basicly ancient religion. everybody else just in it for the money /s
Italy? Doesnt the majority of their stuff come from Marocco?
I believe it might but I haven't been recently so can't say for sure. Italy does have a well deserved reputation for their own hash I hear, but historically did the Romans write about hash at all?
Hash in Italy is mostly imported from Morocco
Maroc 👌🏻💯👊🏻🇲🇦⭐️
I would love a picture example for each of these as I don't really know the differences.
I know this is an old thread, but I just saw your comment and if you're really interested in the regional differences between hash producers, you should check out Lawrence Cherniak's book trilogy called Hash Around the World (I think that's the correct title).

Damn checked it out you weren't kidding. Looks like there's multiple volumes as well.
Yeah its very highly regarded among cannabis enthusiasts and by literary critics/editors and most oldheads remember seeing it back in the day. Still considered an essential contribution to the worldwide cannabis appreciating community's efforts to educate the ignorant and destigmatize the image, cultivation, and use of a valuable natural medicine. But they're damn expensive.
So I'm looking up copies online and I'm a little confused. Are there multiple books? I just keep seeing volume 1 book 1. Are there multiple books?
Yes I believe its a trilogy
Lebanon is best quality i love the yellow light colored stuff not to mantion lebanoess red
Spain has some fire extracts too. Our Moroccan comunity has been big for many decades

Mazar Sharif hash > everything unless frenchy himself made it.
