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 be the best way of achieving
trichome extraction only. Let us look at each home method. We will
not discuss other methods used for mass production by some eastern
countries as these are somewhat substandard to the home methods
mentioned below. In fact some of these 'old eastern practices' are less
common in their native homelands now because of these updated
methods.
There is also a preparation process that you must go through
