I have seen some listing for pollen, is that the same thing as polm? If not then what exactly is pollen, is it the same thing as keif basically?
Once of my favorite hash from AMS was a polm (i think) It was uncompressed and very powdery which made it easy to take a cig (after packing it) and twist it into bag of hash filling the end with powdery hash goodness.
-
Pollen/Polm are the same forms of hash however it is just down to how it is made. I believe it is compressed under heat and that Pollen/Polm are from Morocco however i may be wrong about this part.

Pollen is the dutch name of the hash/weed.
In coffee shops here they all say 'polm' and mean 'pollen'.
-
So its compressed then? What would I be looking for then , something that specifically calls out uncompressed?

Pollum hash is simply compressed kief. So if you're looking for uncompressed powdery goodness, you're looking for kief :)
"Skuff" is the dutch word for kief IIRC.

Oh ok thanks man, most of what I have seen domestically appears to be compressed...

Yeah, it's practically impossible to buy kief, simply because hash is much easier to transport. I've seen a dutch coffeeshop sell kief one time though.

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHAKEN POLLEN AND COMPRESSED THOUGH
-
Shaken sounds nice, wheres that? Anyone got a link?
-
not sure about on here, i have seen them make it in pakistan.
get a big bud, put in in the palm of there hands and rub together, you see the Trichomes falling off, into a lovely hash (looks like fine sand, with the texture of flower)

I thought it was the other way round, pollen is a mistranslation of polm. In the 70's it was always called polm and over the years it's gradually changed to pollen, probably down to lazy english smokers not listening properly to what they're told. :)

Hand-rubbed hash is called Charas and is made in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and India and has nothing to do with pollum hash because that's just pressed shake/kief. Charas is considered by many the best hash in the world.

mmm uncompressed kief... must find this. I guess I can buy a grinder and start collecting it, going to take a long time at the rate I smoke though.
