Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

I see all these non iceolator types -

can anyone break it down

i have been told and smoked myself while there that the charas manali is good stuff or even malana -

can someone recommend and or break it down for me what these mean / their differences/ what makes one better than the other

Proper charas is hand rubbed hash, made from resin collected from live plants - as opposed to all other types of hash that are made from dead/harvested plants. This gives it a notably different high, very cerebral and active... sometimes very intense. Manalis can very good indeed, Malana too, good Nepalese is on similar lines. The real deal isn't abundant though; the only way to be sure is going to a reputable coffeeshop and paying reassuringly high prices

Then there are other asian black hashes that aren't made from live plants. The cheap ones are often adulterated. But a decent one will give a nice heavy stone.

Moroccan/Lebanese brown/red/blonde hashes are made from sun dried plants, the resin is sifted and pressed into chunks. Again, this gives a different (usually lighter) buzz.

i was told years ago before my first visit to check out blue velvet and get some hash from them - im pretty sure it changed names ages ago>> didnt anyone visit there when it was called that -- what is it called now and how is their hash? still good/?

looking to get a list of good hash spots -

most places ive seen either have good hash or good weed and rarely have both (although there area few obviously)

Blue Velvet is Greenhouse lounge now , I can recommend the Critical Cream Cheese and the King Hassan Polm

excited to try both - thanks!
