908 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 From the book. A table is used first,to allow two or more people to work simultaneously so they can complete this first handling of the bulk of the plants as speedily as possible.Second, the worker can apply the greatest pressure to the rubbing of the plants with an ingenious tool and,literally,push them through the metal net. A great amount of seeds and wooden parts are eliminated at this stage. The process continues by the same principle of sieving over and over again.At least 3-4 different size sieves are used in order gradually to reduce the plant to powder. Needless to say,the amount of dust generated by this process is enormous.Everything becomes coated with hashish.The dust even managed to penetrate into the elements of a camera lens used at the time.The lens had to be sent to the manufacterer who,in order to clean it had to dimantle it. Up to this point in the process women usually do all the tiring and monotonous work. The skilled worker performs the miracle,using the finest sieve at extraordinary speed,of transforming the plant into the hashish powder known as Red Leb. more tomorrow 908 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
