Red Lebanese: the origins
As its name suggests, Red Lebanese hash is of Lebanese origin. To be more precise, it is in the Bekaa Valley that the hemp is grown and then processed into resin. This high-quality CBD resin has taken the markets by storm.
Even today, the Bekaa Valley remains a prime location for hemp cultivation. The weather conditions are perfectly suited to the growth of cannabis, which thrives there almost effortlessly! In short, it is a very important part of the Lebanese economy.
The history of Lebanese resin dates back to the 13th century, during the Ottoman Empire. Today, it is known as ‘Red Lebanese’ due to its characteristic colour, which is the result of rather unique production methods…
Red Lebanese: how is it made?
Red Lebanese follows the same traditional production process as Moroccan resin. The hemp grows undisturbed and dries naturally in the sun. It is then harvested (specifically the leaves, flowers and buds) and stored in warehouses where it continues to dry. Once ready, the plant material is passed through sieves to collect the trichomes rich in cannabinoids.
The final stage involves cold pressing, which gives the resin its final appearance and texture.
Why is Lebanese hash red?
The production of red Lebanese resin is somewhat unique: the plant material is dried for longer. As the chlorophyll, which gives plants their green colour, breaks down, the leaves, flowers and buds turn red (much like the leaves on trees in autumn!)
This is what makes Red Lebanese so distinctive: not only is it harvested later, but it is also stored for longer! The CBD hemp flowers turn red in the sun, under the influence of UV rays, and then their maturation is completed through storage lasting more than six months in warehouses.
The result? A beautiful reddish-brown colour that is characteristic of Red Lebanese.
Taste, smell, texture
The main consequence of this production process is evident in terms of taste and appearance. This is, in fact, why many hash enthusiasts turn to Red Lebanese CBD resin.
Red Lebanese gives off a particularly spicy aroma that is very pleasant to the nose. This scent, which is due to the long maturation of the flowers, is complemented by a pungent and full-bodied taste. Red Lebanese hash is favoured for its aromatic potential. Combining spice and freshness, it is one of the CBD hashes – if not THE hash – that offers the most flavour. In other words, it is a resin particularly appreciated for the taste experience it provides.
In terms of texture, Red Lebanese is fairly easy to crumble. Slightly elastic and very soft, it has a ‘soft wax’ quality that is very appealing.
What are the effects of Red Lebanese CBD hash?
Historically, Red Lebanese hash has been consumed for its therapeutic properties. As the cannabinoids are partially broken down during its maturation, it produces very mild effects that do not impair clarity.
Aside from its taste, Red Lebanese is favoured for:
- Reducing chronic pain
- Improving sleep
- Alleviating feelings of stress and anxiety in daily life.
It is indeed a particularly beneficial CBD resin for relieving everyday ailments. Not only does it envelop the user in pleasant aromas and flavours, but it is also very mild. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced users.
Of course, CBD resin is not a medicine and should not replace any form of treatment. Please consult your doctor.
Red Lebanese CBD: legal or not?
Traditionally, Red Lebanese contains THC. This cannabinoid, responsible for the main psychoactive effects of hemp, is illegal in France and across Europe. Under European legislation, it is prohibited to exceed a THC level of 0.2%.
Fortunately, technological advances and numerous hybridisations have led to the creation of strains rich in legal cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD). You can therefore consume Red Lebanese in its CBD hash form without any worries! To ensure this, always remember to check that your supplier specifies the THC content.
Furthermore, without THC, you can enjoy the benefits of Red Lebanese without any psychoactive effects.
