Production Process:

The traditional method of producing Beldia Hash involves planting cannabis seeds between February and March, with flowering in June and harvesting in early August. The dried flowers are sieved to collect resinous trichomes, which are then pressed to form hashish blocks. This process emphasizes minimal use of water and fertilizers, relying on the plant’s natural resilience to arid climates. citeturn0search0

Cultural and Economic Significance:

Beldia Hash holds deep roots in Moroccan culture, especially within the Rif region, where cannabis cultivation has been integral to local traditions and the economy. However, the introduction of foreign cannabis genetics in the 1980s and 1990s has threatened the purity and existence of the Beldia strain, leading to a decline in traditional hashish production. citeturn0search1
