Talk:Kief

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How valid is the statement about cartoon-like hallucinations? I question the validity.

[edit] Kiefer

My surname is Kiefer-I always thought it was the coolest name.

That is a very cool name HighInBC 20:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kief is a type of hashish

there is a section on kief on the Hashish article, perhaps this page should be incoorperated into the Hashish page and this page redirect to it. Anyone object to this? HighInBC 23:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I know that hash can be made from kief but I'm not sure that kief doesn't deserve its own article. In fact, kief was on the list of encyclopedic topics that wikipedia needs, so I'd say there is good evidence that no merge should be done. Triddle 15:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm as far as I know the only thing that can differentiate keif from hashish is that sometimes keif is not pressed into a lump... however I still think it is hashish even if left in powder form. How do you define the difference between hashish and keif? HighInBC 16:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't really have one, but a lot of articles do link directly to kief which I think indicates it is being thought of separately from hash. I would also think (and it may not be proper) that hash has a wider definition than just pressed kief (soapbar for example). Lastly, people are known to sprinkle kief on their bowls where I'm from and hash is not nearly as common. I really think kief stands to have its own article. Triddle 18:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I am not going to change anything, but I will post a request for comments about this in the Hashish talk page. Please feal free to participate in the discussion there. HighInBC 18:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

From my experience, the term kief is reserved exclusively for unpressed trichromes ("crystals", "powder"), whereas hash involves some sort of preparation (i.e. pressing or rolling). I still think the two articles should be merged under Hash, though, with kief given its own subsection, ideally somewhere near the top of the page.

Why? There are articles for water, steam, and ice. With logic like this, steam and ice should be merged into water. Triddle 16:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

No Merge - Kief is totally different from hashish. Hashish is the extracted THC mixed with some pressed plant matter. It is dark brown and of a gummy, almost tacky consistency. Kief is the THC crystals which has fallen off of the marijuana plant, is usually lightly colored and comes in powder form. They are completely different. Zelmerszoetrop 14:08, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Kief is not a type of hash. Kief is the crystals shaken off the buds while hash is an extract. They're two seperate things. If anything, the part on kief in the hash section should be merged with this article.Calibas 00:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

i agree that no merge should be made. kief is not hashish, and vice versa. Strawberryfire 13:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Kief is definitely not hash! Although it can be used as a raw material for making it, smoking keif is just not smoking hash. A mention of kief in hash making is adequite enough. Matt 07:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Kief is to hash as cocoa is to chocolate. also Kief has differant meanings in some areas (I live in renfrew county, ontario, here it means crap shakey weed) so a merger would eliminate any possibility of including other regional meanings--Matt D 16:29, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of merging

There is a discussion at the Hashish article about merging various hash based articles into Hashish. The discussion has mention this article so I am linking it.
