Analysts at Edinburgh University encouraged by legalise cannabis campaigners and medical users have uncovered some serious potential dangers of smoking the most common "hashish" found in the U.K., SOAP BAR. Even the best of which contains less than 10% psychoactive cannabis.

The findings uncover that soap bars weighing 9oz / 250 grams, on average contain 1/3 oz / 10 grams of flower / resin and up to 200 grams of inert ground-up shade leaf. The remainder consist of c.40 grams of various noxious substances. Using mass spectrometry they found the most common of these are as follows:

• Glue
• Dyes
• Carcinogenic solvents such as Toluene and Benzene (from petrol/turpentine/diesel)
• Henna
• Pine resin (to mask the smell of the above)
• Plastic (often from repressing/remixing bars using petrol/diesel)
• Tranquilizers / barbiturates (often veterinary in origin like ketamine) - to stone you

Other ingredients found include;

• Tar / bitumen
• Wax / Boot polish
• Condensed milk powder (burn some…smell familiar ?)
• Brick dust / sand (rock burns…)
• Digested organic matter / excrement…(it really is shit.)

SOAP is not available from coffee shops in Holland or from farms in Morocco. Bars are often made in Spain or England and can be repressed (and remixed) under heat several times before they get to you. SOAP bar costs about £1,500 a kilo in the UK (£42 / oz), that's £1.50 a gram (£5.25 an eighth). SOAP first appeared in the mid 1980's following the loss of Afghan and Lebanese production. Such are the profit levels that the British criminal gangs involved will not import or knowingly "allow" other types of hash into the country and although the price has fallen in real terms since the mid 1980's there are still vast profits to be made from what is serious dilution and adulteration.

If you buy SOAP you are allowing yourself to be ripped off by people who don't give a fuck about you and your health, and are only interested in controlling what they consider to be their market. SOAP is poisonous, it gives real cannabis a bad name, so lets all do ourselves a favour…

BOYCOTT SOAP (and the wankers who make it).
