Making Pipe Hash :
Although pipe hash is generally thought of as being somewhat unhealthy dude to the carcinogens, it will sure do the trick while you're waiting for your next harvest. I tend to give my pipes a good cleaning at least a couple times a year and why waste the thc and small chunks of weed that fall through and cling to the insides of your pipes . It's easy to make pipe hash and it's a step up from smoking resin, IMO. To make pipe hash you will need:
90%+ Isopropyl Alcohol
A few of your more clogged pipes
1 large container
1 small glass custard dish or bowl
Your first step will be separating the resin from your pipes. To do this, take your large container (I usually use a large travel mug) and place the piece to be cleaned inside it. Fill the mug with the isopropyl alcohol so that it covers the pipe. Gently swish the pipe around in the alcohol. NOTE* It may take a day or two for all of the resin to loosen from the pipe. During this time swirl your pipe in the alcohol every few hours to help it loosen the resin. Q-tips work well to separate any remaining resin from your pipe. Continue using this process for each piece until all your pipes are clean and you have a mug full of resin and alcohol. Now take your glass custard dish or bowl and pour your resin / alcohol mixture to the top and leave uncovered. If you have some of the mixture left over, set it aside with a cover where it won't be spilled. The alcohol will now begin to evaporate from the dish. Continue to refill the glass dish until all of the mixture has been used. If you need to add fresh alcohol to the mug to get all of the resin out you can. As the alcohol evaporates, scrape the resin from the sides of the dish back into the solution. When all the alcohol has evaporated, leaving a sticky resin substance, you have created 'pipe hash'. Roll it around into a ball or block and smoke.
NOTE* It would be best to smoke out of a vaporizer to limit the amount of carcinogens inhaled.
