I thought most Morroccan landrace strains were indicas.
No, they would be sativas, in the main.
How can Moroccan hash be good when its made from shite weed?
Since hash is mainly the trichomes (aka resin glands) of the cannabis plant and some plant matter, then the weed does NOT have to be killer diller to make good hash. (BUT, it would take more plants to get the same quantity of trichomes, if you use a lower quality bud.)
The plants in Morrocco, are grown for hash, so potency as MJ, is not a real concern to them.
The tradtional way they make hash, in Morrocco, is, as follows:
They get a whole bunch of dried cannabis plants, put them in a sack, tie the end shut, and then beat the hell out of the sack. After some time, they stop, let the dust settle and, then open the bag and collect the trichomes.
Although there are some variations in the method, that is basically it.
After the first gathering, they can then sieve the hash (gathered from the sack, as per method, above) to remove more of the plant matter, leaving a better quality of kif. This can be done several times, each time using a finer mesh to get a better quality.
(If you have ever made water/ice hash (aka "full melt" hash or isolater hash), then, the idea, but not the method, is the same. Shake/agitate the dried bud to get the trichomes to separate from the plant, gather the trichomes, and filter out impurities. That is why bubble bags come with different mesh sizes, so that you can filter down to the quality you want. The finer the mesh, the higher the quality, but the lower the yields.)
Then, for smuggling purposes, the kif can be pressed into blocks of hash.
