Marijuana "Resin" - Tar

So the other day I was desperate enough to scrape up a glob of some "resin" in my bowl, which ended up being the size of a quarter . It has been 3-4 months since I scraped up "resin", and I never bothered cleaning small pieces for days like these. I thought of doing some type of extraction because I have a broken tooth and smoking it seemed like a bad idea. Intentions were to stumble across some kind of extraction and wow was I surprised from what I found out ...
For the longest time I believed "resin" was a substance mostly made up of THC because of false knowledge that is constantly spread and also due to the fact I would get decently high off of "resin" balls that were 1/8 the size of a fully packed bowl of . The reason for this was because every time I felt the urge to scrape my bowl, my tolerance was lowered somewhat, and it was always in an effort to help fall asleep so I never really directed too much attention towards how high I actually was (partly placebo effect ). After discussing my findings on the web with some shroomerites, it seems like many people are unaware of what they are actually smoking. I'm a little disturbed by this and feel the need to spread some type of awareness, because I'm sure many of you, like me, never looked into it (not to mention all the false rumors ). I do not have official data or testing, but spent a few hours scrolling through websites, used my best, unbiased judgement, which was followed by more googleing in order for validation.
First off what everyone has been calling "Resin", is actually TAR! For those of you that don't know, Tar is a mix of large hydrocarbons caused by pyrolysis. A lot of sources immediately point to street tar or the same kind of tar built up from a cigarette. This is untrue, tar from weed is mostly made up of cannabinoids as well as very little THC. Although tar from marijuana doesn't seem too harmful, this assumption is false. The tar still contains many carcinogens that were previously not inhaled with the lack of THC to inhibit them, furthermore not all of these carcinogens come from the bud itself but from incomplete combustion that takes place when it is burned. Actual resin is trichomes collected by the plant (hashish/hash). On many occasions tar gives headaches, is much harder on the lungs, and from my own experience the short high just isn't worth risking my own health.
Some claim to get super stoned off tar, but I feel like most of this comes from people with very little tolerance or luckily scraped up some that happened to capture a good amount of THC. Some people claim tar buildup from inside their bong after being filtered through the water is much more potent, but I can't stand smoking out of a dirty bong, and I couldn't imagine how long it have to go uncleaned before a decent scraping from filtered smoke would take, on top of how dirty it would get
TL;DR Many people seem to be misinformed or ignorant about the residue in their pipes, this is just an attempt to spread some awareness.
- Resin from marijuana = hashish/hash
- "Resin" (what you're scraping outta your pipe) = Tar
- Smoking tar from weed is very impotent and very unhealthy

Of course it's unhealthy to smoke the "black gold", but I do it anyway!
And I enjoy it 
Ok not that much, but I still do it

I've scrapped bowls, looked at that shit, and said hell no.
For when I'm out, I save my roaches and smoke those.

I used to smoke that shit a looong time ago. Afterwards if I ever needed to scrape bowls and just clean out my pieces for tar I just saved a bunch of it and did a solvent extraction out of it and got back a little oil to smoke instead.

smoking may not be good... but theres nothing wrong with vaporizing residue.

Roaches have a residue buildup too, so youre still smoking it... even if its just a little bit.

Smoking the tar was a regular thing for me, but I wasn't delusional or anything.. I knew that shit was bad.
Once I stopped smoking Mexican brick (for the longest all I could get) I stopped smoking the tar too.. Dunno why but once I started smoking top shelf shit I just couldn't bring myself to smoke the tar anymore.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

But at least there is actual unburnt weed left over.
And smoking roaches is nasty. It's a last resort.

i would just like to point out that resin is the sticky stuff that comes out of some plants, like sap on a coniferous tree
so even though hash is resin (just concentrated) resin is also un-concentrated stuff that you get on your fingers if you break up weed without scissors

it was a fun read, but i thought this was like, common knowledge outa highschool
when i use to smoke weed, i knew exactly what tar was, but id smoke it anyway when out of weed, and add tobacco to boot to get it to burn a bit better

i always loved roach joints, one time when i first started smoking weed, i ran into someone who saved up enough roaches to roll a fat blunt , the blunt was split between 3 of us, and that was probly one of the heaveist buzz's i remember

I have tons of roach weed. I broke up enough to make a small batch of oil, and it had 3.5g of roach weed with plenty more left.
Also, roach weed oil is nasty. Although it did turn out to roach weed shatter. Black shiny crystalline.

i never got into making hash till about a year before i quit, and i only did it once, i used iso from the freezer, it came out looking like kief, i was sorta bummed out, because for some reason i thought it would come out like the black brick hash people normally have, but it was still a good smoke
to make oil do you use butene, through a metal pipe filled with weed tek?

That blonde color is what you look for in hash I thought, well at least bubble hash.
@previous post: I'm surprised, I can't believe it took me this long to find out what it truly was, I just know it got me high. May be common knowledge here, but not where I live, and you'd probably have a good laugh googling resin, so much misconception...
