The reason why the cannabis plant produces
resin oils is to gather fallen pollen from the
male plant.
When we smoke bud, we hope to covert the
oil into a vapour, which we can inhale. However
the surface of the flowers is not the only area
which produce cannabinoids. It is known that
the bulbous glands on the leaves produce
cannabinoids and so does the stem, but these
are only in minor quantities compared to the
stalked capitate trichomes.
Hash is made primarily from the collection
of the stalked capitate trichomes.
When the collected trichomes are compressed
they form a blocky mass, which we refer to as
Hashish.
HOW TO GATHER THE STALKED CAPITATE TRICHOMES.
There are many ways to do this, ranging
from bulk hash production to small finger sized
quantities. Also each method will produce
different qualities or grades of hashish. Some
methods will gather only the trichomes, while
other methods will gather trichomes and some
other subsidiary elements like leaf particles
and branch shavings. Water extraction seems to
