How to Make Charas

Making charas is a messy affair, and it requires a lot of patience. Also, we’re assuming that you don’t have landrace flowers sourced from the Himalayan region on hand. Fortunately, all you need are some trimmed cannabis buds from plants that are roughly 2-3 weeks from harvest (make sure you keep a little bit of stem when you trim). Now that you have the requisite material, here is a step-by-step guide to making charas.
1.Wash your hands thoroughly before beginning. Ideally, you will use organic hand soap with no scent. Using dirty hands will contaminate your charas.
2.Give the flowers you have plucked away an extra trim. Remove the sugar leaves to leave nothing but fresh, fat buds. (You can keep the leaves to make cannabutter if you like).
3.Grab a few buds, or one large one, and start rubbing them slowly between your hands. Resin will begin to excrete out of the flower, sticking to your hands.
4.Increase the speed of your hand movements until no more resin comes out. (However, avoid rubbing your hands too quickly as this could cause a loss of precious resin).
5.Continue the process until resin stops coming out of the buds. At this stage, place the remaining buds on one hand, and press down on them with the thumb of your other hand. This will remove what’s left of the resin.
6.Set the buds aside, and rub your hands together to create the famous charas ball.

It’s worth pointing out that you shouldn’t even think of making charas unless you have a real determination to complete the task. For reference, it can take up to eight hours to produce around seven grams of charas.

HOW TO USE CHARAS

In an ideal world, you will locate a chillum and enjoy charas in the traditional way. Realistically, you can smoke charas with a little bit of tobacco if you already use this particular substance. Otherwise, you can add charas to a joint, bowl, or blunt to get an extra kick. It is even possible to vaporize or dab charas as you would with other cannabis concentrates.
You can use any cannabis strain you like for charas, but the best options are strains with a high resin content. As we mentioned earlier, consider an indica with origins from Pakistan or India. You can pretty much choose any Kush variety, such as OG Kush or Grandfather Kush. Other options include Northern Lights, Bubble Kush, Royal Gorilla, or White Widow.
Lastly, make sure you use fresh cannabis flower that’s been picked before the plant is harvested. (The use of dried marijuana is for the creation of hashish). Once you create the charas, use it responsibly because it contains a lot of THC.
