Forums › Drugs › Cannabis & Hashish › Poor Folks Hash: Soap Bar?
Just a random musing, but has the quality of hash declined sharply in the UK? I know that in the 60s the hash was v. good quality and imported from Holland. I have a good source for cannabis, so the thought of poor quality doesn’t concern me. What does concern me is if this link below (a link from wiki) is anything to go by, then some people are risking their lives smoking hash, and not from any claims of “cannabis pychosis” but from emphysema and goodness knows what else. Frightening stuff for the ‘yoofs’ to consider.

how good is the quality of your hash?
Just wondering, delete if irrelevant – maybe im being an old man
The government go on about how cannabis should remain illegal these days despite some of the MPs having smoked it in their youths due to “strong strains” posing an risk to people’s health but I definitely agree with you about soapbar being the real risk, and one that is very rarely addressed by the news/media. I mean, the majority of soapbar on britain’s streets will be (as that site states) less than 10% actual weed, the rest being made up of plastic (e.g. plastic bags, wheeliebins), resin, often sprayed with hairspray to keep it held together, and all kinds of crap. More often than not feeling stoned off this can be more likely attributed to giddiness and lightheadedness from the plastic fumes.
Despite this in times of need even the best of us end up smoking this shit. The only major benefit I can see of it is that it makes you enjoy getting a nice bit of grass next time round even more!
Tastes rank too.
Saying all that, I do realise that not all soapbar is necessarily this awful, but why bother risking it – there’s no way of finding out before you buy it, and your dealer’s hardly going to tell you “aye man, this shit’s stuffed full of crap”. Stick to grass, you know where you are with a nice nugget of bud 🙂
a relative explosion in leisure time = booming recreational drug market
the demand has far outsripped the capacity for production, due to an international climate where taking part in the ‘war on drugs’ ensures a steady trickle of shady ‘aid’ deals with unpleasant or downright muderous regimes
the methods for making soapbar weren’t common in north africa until a few years ago. it’s popular because relative lack of bulk or odour makes it easy to smuggle
and its’ low concentration of quality product makes it all the more profitable
like supermarket food
which is why people have taken to home growing more and more
which is why ‘high-grade’ strains have been developed (to feed the home market)
Prohibition isn’t about your health
If you know your stuff its fairly easy to tell good resin by looking at it closely….which is the hard part. How many dealers let you inspect your weed in the street. I only buy soap bar off close friends or very reliable sources though I do prefer my green.
Aye man, and if you go round their flat to pick up then it would be pretty difficult to go “nah mate, that’s shit, I ain’t buyin’ it.”
deffo the harsh has got worse!! i remember bein able to Zero/Zero and loads of different blacks when i was about 14. now its the same old nasty shit with god knows wot in it. Now i try just to smoke the green since u get stoned and not high on the plastics and the other crap, only prob is that green is forkin expensive!!
dunno, for me its the other way round! when i was first caning it up, all i could get was shite hash, gak as it was known.slate and squidgy turned up occasionally, but that was it.
these days i can get charris, scuff, or pollem for £40-50 on the half, which suits me fine…can get soap way cheaper, but its is shit.
soap has always been around in shite forms, afaik, but i think that the popularity of skunk has made it the pikey option, so the price dropped right out.
yeah prices r right down, 10 quid for 1/2 Oz. Cheap but shit!!
I do that all the time…
in my area most people are aware of the poor quality and contamininants – very few people will willingly smoke this crap – its very much “last resort” stuff
This goes for the younger lot as well – thankfully sites like this and other good info sources are at least showing people the less harmful options and people are quickly passing on good and positive info to their peers.
innit
i remember being in some nasty situations as a teenager telling much older scumbags that their shit was shit like real shit like this shit is shit if yougetcaughtonthestreetwiththisshityougoingtogetkilled
:sick:
type of shit
you gotta know
you need to be informed
so you can make a point and be heard
no matter who you’re dealing with and their sales and peer pressure bullshit
I’m like, “it’s my body. I have only one. Peddle your plastic wares elsewhere
ha ha i loved a drop of soapbar when i was a nipper but it dont cut the mustard these days it aint strong enough for the market if you can have bud with high thc who wants trim waste with storks, plastic, glue and mud mixed in? but the nice hash is still about quality always sells if u pay the money and know where to go and it can have higher thc content than the best green out there if made right so if you have 2 or more varieties/strains keep a bit of scuff from a selection of plants and press it yourself it involves little effort and i assure you of a very nice smoke which will blow your mind and you control what goes in it! 😉
Wow, a zombie thread raised from the dead.
Good hash all the way! Come on drug dealers sort it out!
There’s better hash coming back around in my area. But fuck that soap bar, I’d rather be sober.
Always liked a bit of sticky black myself, not keen on the ‘super-strains’ of bud, I like to get nicely stoned, not be completely vegetated
Soap was low quality, didnt stop me buying it when nothing else was around, but didnt like having to pull chunks of plastic out and it often didnt smell right probably due to other shit mixed in with it.
