Hash AK 47

Hash AK 47 is hash named after the AK-47 strain. Hash is made from the plant’s resin glands, called trichomes, collected and pressed together. Kief is that same resin left loose and unpressed, the fine powder that gathers in the lowest compartment of a grinder.

Pressed resin and the hash guides that cover it

Hash comes in several styles. Our guide to hashish and its types compares them, and our dry sift hash guide covers what that style is, how it is made and how it is graded. On ways to use hash, our guide to smoking hash takes in joints, pipes, bongs and vaporizers.

The AK-47 strain the name refers to

Our AK-47 guide traces the strain to Serious Seeds in the Netherlands in 1992, with Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghani lines behind it. AllBud labels the strain sativa-dominant, 65/35 in favour of sativa, and Leafly‘s label is sativa-dominant too. Leafly’s family tree for the strain lists White Russian and Candy Cane as offspring, and AllBud writes its name three ways: AK, AK47 and AK 47. Leafly’s average rating for the strain is 4.1 from 3,044 ratings, and AllBud’s is 4.6 from 98 votes and 56 reviews. Everything in this section describes the strain itself, and the hash carries its name.

Pacing an extract like hash

Health Canada puts hash alongside kief, wax and shatter, calls the group high in THC, and suggests that first-timers and occasional users skip it. For smoked or vaped cannabis it says the effects start fast, in seconds or minutes, and reach their peak as late as the 30-minute mark. Its lower-risk use guidelines name 6 hours after use as the shortest wait before getting behind the wheel.
