I'm From California. The northern part, where there is no shortage of Strong Kind bud. Recently I've come to Israel to try and find work and as of late I've been in Be'er Shevah. You might have heard of it, before its one of the larger cities, it pretty old and it dates back to the times when fools like Abraham where digging wells and trenches, and its where Jacob supposedly had his dream about Angels climbing a ladder down and up into and from heaven. We're in the desert, lots of longs low hills and craggy dry brush.

When I first got here, I was staying in Tel Aviv which in some ways is a very international City, and when I asked around about the Marijuana situation I was told that there is almost no weed here in Israel. After poking around a bit more I found out that ther eis actually weed in Israel and it is divided into two categories. The first, being largely bush weed that comes out of the Sinai Peninsula and is smuggled across the border whether through Gaza or not. Buds (Nitszanim) of this variety are rare as few people even bother to smuggle the bulky contraband through a heavily patrolled set of borders like the one at Gaza, Israel and Egypt. The other type of Weed that is found here is reffered to as Hydro although I'm fairly sure that most Israelis have no idea what hydro even means or what it is a shortened word for. While this genre of Man's favorite flower does exhist here throughout the State not limited to Tel Aviv. It is commonly thought of as being too expensive to be worth (80 NIS per gram, around 20 dollars US.) it when compared to the Israelis preferred method of getting stoned... Hash

Its strange to be explain I suppose, coming from a place (Sacramento) where Hash is somewhat of a delicacy (out side of the clubs) but here Hash is by far cheaper than even shitty weed. Typically sold in what translates to "a Finger of " Hash, bars or blck of ten two thriteen grams are sold for around two hundered shekels. which goes a quite a way even for a an experienced stoner; who has no problem helping a legit eighth dissapear in a matter of hours.

I bought mine from a man named Amit in a nice and friendly apartment in the student area of Be'er Shebah, he offered me anything to drink from his bar which was extensivly stocked with flashy and expensive Liquors from around the world as it seems common for most young Israelis to have. And proceed to Refuse my offer to smoke a boof (a piece of hash one breaks off of their stash) saying that when Iwas there it was his hash that we would smoke.

When Israelis smoke hash they rarely if ever smoke it straight, they usually make what is called a Ksessah. Which in aout a dime (coin) sized piece of hash mixed in with the tobacco from two to three cigarettes that have been toasted. Many differerent groups that I've smoked with here all have a variet of custom and traditions to go along with their Ksassah making, but some commonalities include always using a rolled up piece of cardboard as a filter for what are typically joints. Always passing to the right, (sometimes) beaking the tabbaco into an even finer powder than in the ciggarettes, and never letting anyone pass the join quickly, as if one must spend their time with it smoking slwly and concisely not a puff puff pass but a relaxed moment or three spent kicking it with the j.

The hash it self is said to come mainly from the Beduins (around here) and in other places it is said to have come from Hizzbolah and Lebanon (more likely) and everone tells urban legends about what terrible chemical the Arabs are puitting on their Hashish. Which is what I know as Soap Hash. And now I right and my Finger of Hash has dwindled to a mere boof and I contemplate frying to find a way to find a direction (the tanslated word for dealer) and decide what to do as the Sun sets here in the Desert ten hours in the future.

Very nice write up.
Thanks for posting.

I dont like Israel... and now back to my point.

Hash is not a standardized term across the world, hell in places like England hash is the lowest, most nasty way of getting high. It is cut to shit, with plastic, rubber tires, and other nasty shit.(what you referred to as "soap bar")

Though, in its original form (from the middle east) it is pure and uncut.
So the general rule of thumb is that: the closer to the middle east(Generally Afghanistan) you are, the cleaner your hashish should be.

And 20$ for a gram of dank bud, is the norm here in NYC.

yeah but $20 is a lot more in different parts of the world.
hash off the streets when it's a common drug seems like a bad idea. why would i want cut up weed? thats crazy. but that was a great post man, thanks.

why the fuck would you go to Israel? even if your a Jew you must be able to see how disgusting our relationship with Israel is, not to mention the fact that the Jews just fucking nabbed the Palestinian's land and claim its their god given right to own said territory. the religion of Judaism is and of itself no more insane than any other religion, and I personally find it to make slightly more sense than most. But the Nation of Israel disgust me to the core of my being, and anyone who disagrees is either Jewish, or doesn't want to be seen as anti-Semitic.

I made this post to talk about the scene in this part of the planet. Being a recreational drug user provides an interesting environment, it twists about itself like a labrynth because everybody, everybody, is hiding it from someone. The old man that lives next to you that you only know as a neighbor could be the guy that your guy gets his junk, and you would never. This lends itself to an interesting worldd unlike most societies or communities in this world. This is why I wrote my post, as I did.

My opinion on Israel is a complicated as my opinion of America. As much as I could get dragged into a political discussion which of which thee would be no end. This is not the forum for that. I came to ISrael to decide for myself how I felt about tohe situation in Israel and to see how things appear here. Have you been to the west bank? Do you think this is a country where only Jews are citizens? I live in a place where within ten kilometers of my house there are more moslems than Jews and all of them have the same citizen rights, whether they need an unemployment check or free health care becasue their son got hurt in a car crash. The people that live here want to live a peaceful life. The army here are fighting nut job jews that are trying to settle west bank They are forcing towns to move away becasue they are Jewish and the Muslims there who have created their own Government (Fatah) decided they don't want Jews there. In an attempt at what will probably become another country, for The West Bank Palestine call it what you will. Because people here want to not be blown up or shot which as I understand is a comon desire be you Jew, Druze Ba'hai or Christian all of which are major voices here.
I think that Isarel has done some things that I do not agree with, in fact more than just "not agreeing" I think things such like Flechette, and cluster bombs should be illegal, for good Reasons. So are attacing civilians whether its people dancing in a club or shopping in the market and especially the family of an alleged terrorist and claiming collateral damage. People are doing fucked up shit, but I am writing about smoking drugs fool. So Chill the fuck out.

Great post! Welcome to Totse TLM

I really enjoyed reading that.
Nice write up.

i actually just had a conversation about this with an old jew.

In the United Kingdom, 'Poobar' 'Shitbar' 'Soapbar' or even called 'Shit' is the lowest form of hash, very low hash content. Hell, i've ever pulled the remnants of a plastic bag out of the middle of a nug of hash before.

I've had standard 'Hash' also, which is just mid-grade stuff. 'Pollen' is really really nice hash, usually what it says on the tin, but compressed into blocks of hash. Really light brown crumbly stuff that tastes so damn tasty.

Soapbar is lulz, people know the shit thats in it yet still smoke it like wildfire (including me sometimes). Seriously though i wonder if americans know how much of the stuff gets smoked here, i myself rarely smoke weed and hardly a day goes by when i see someone pull out a large chunk of soapbar. Bud is on the rise though preferred by all.

not to mention the fact that the fuckin' British just fucking nabbed the Palestinian's land

Fixed...as the League of Nations gave it away, a group the US wasn't part of.

Yes, those fast-talking jews ended up getting in bed with the US in later years, and I agree that we're way too involved now, but this is at least one Middle Eastern problem that isn't completely the US's fault.

Ah yes!
Being of Jewish descent myself, a few years back our high school went on a trip to Jerusalem, and being the stoner i was; the yearning for my dose of the green had me searching the 'cursed land franticly for some of the good stuff- low and behold, all it took was a trip to the breakfast room of the hotel we were situated in, at around midnight:
The room had about ten joints going, the smokers being various tour groups of college students- their source this happy looking Israeli army chap in his 20's.
I shared a joint or two with him, and being the youthful inquistive Jew i had become, after an emotionally-felt discussion on the subject of Sid Barret's downfall and inevitable demise, we discussed the origins of the hashish we had the good fortune to be toking upon.
The soldier informed me that the green's whereabouts were the baron fields of Be'er Shevah, what with its vibrant club scenes, the hashish is smoked there exclusively.
Of course, i returned several times to the spot around midnight and made various friends, one of which i still am in contact with to this day.
(Unfortunately it is not the soldier- just the retard from America who had no social life but bought all the bud. Not that you care.)

very, very nice post. probly the best new user post i have ever seen. hope you stick around.

I actually have houses in tel-aviv and be'er sheva (inheritence). I realized that for be'er sheva the best place is the city and in "shchuna daled". That's where we have our house and is also the worst town in the country. Lots of crime, but that also means lots of drugs. If you go to Merkaz Oren, which should be at the entrance to beer sheva, and ask around you will find drugs, including weed, no problem.

I've also had plain weed from jerusalem, not so good, but it was still weed. Tel-Aviv has the great weed if you know where to look. The kiosks usually have on them, but i was just at a friends house and he had 10 ounces of weed, and it wasn't the lowest quality. I've run in to hydroponics grown weed in israel which was great, but the price was like 60 sheks for a g. Usually the clubs in israel have those good drugs, and in tel aviv the clubs prefer weed over hash. Just ask around and you'll find it.

Pretty much drugs can b found everywhere, especially weed, because everyone loves it. If you're desperate check out the guide on www.webehigh.com it's not reallyso good for israel as much as other places.


O, and if you know somebody that grows by themselves (which i do know a few) then they have the good shit, because instead of smuggling bush from lebanon they can invest in it, but will only hook up people they trust

Too bad you're surrounded by dirty fucking Jews hey.

I support this thread.

L'chaim.
