Finger Hash
Finger hash can be an extremely high quality smoke with ample characteristics, but doesnt come around too often. When it does, its probably what was collected on hands and scissors while manicuring. Your hands have natural oils (and who knows what else) on them that can affect the flavor, so give them a wash before starting, preferably without soap, as it tends to leave a residual taste, too. Resin sticks to resin. Regularly brushing away the small pieces of leaf from resin-coated hands helps the finger hash build up faster and decreases the amount of contaminant in your final product.
Removing the resin can be more of a chore than collecting it. The stuff is like glue and vigorously rubbing hands together can cause blistering. Start by lightly rubbing off what is easily removed over a dish or table. A drop of water will help peel away what remains. Now just collect the pile and roll it into a ball in the palm of your hand. Want a completely different method? Just rub the hell out of a pile of shake with your hands and see what you can get!
It's ideal for edibles. So long as there is a hot step in the recipe (over boiling temp for a few minutes) to activate the THC. Fresh trichome powder is mostly THCA ime, and that is orally inactive. cn
