Agreed to review a sample joint for a new vendor, "hashman"
Vendor page: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/silkroad/user/9c31ae8969
Here is my unadulterated review:
Shipping: When I got the package, there was postage due, meaning I had to go to the counter to claim it. This was pretty sketchy in my opinion, especially considering the package didn't have a return address, and had handwritten labels; all red flags. Honestly this experience has pretty much turned me off from reviewing new vendors... Not trying to shit on this dude after all he did give me a free joint. Hopefully packaging will improve, to his credit it was vaccuum sealed but really just amateur packaging.
Product: Sampled his "Croptober Meddical" joint with a friend, to properly evaluate. Can't comment on the appearance as it was ground up, but it got two people reasonably high. On par or better with local bud, no doubt. Had a pleasant flavor, earthy, slightly skunky. Really helped me decompress after crapping my pants at the post office :P
All in all, this vendor is legitimate, but seriously needs to improve his packaging.
-
The no return address/hand-written name is a NO GO! my package as well had this, but I give credit to hashman for sending an actual joint... maybe it's just me but it seems surreal to open a package at your doorstep and then less than a minute later being able to spark up the contents.
The best part is that I got high. Really high. My joint was nice and heavy and packed with good, skunky, fuely cannabis. This is some seriously tasty and smooth bud, kind of dangerous for me as I can smoke myself into a coma with a strain like this, hashman identifies the bud as tangerine haze and I believe it. Overall the packaging needs work, but that's what reviews are for. To me this is the ultimate luxury- cannabis at your door ready to smoke. The only thing that could outdo that is to mail the lighter.
-
I received my sample joint from Hashman yesterday. Like others have said - the handwritten address and lack of return address are a bit of a red flag, but hopefully he'll learn as he sells more. The package had a slight smell, but likely undetectable by anyone who wasn't looking for it. Errr, sniffing for it?
The joint itself was very nicely rolled (I'm a bit of a spliff-snob, and I give him the thumbs-up). Beautifully rolled. And the spliff itself was golden. Amazing bud. Very organic tasting and premium product. I'd definitely be interested in trying more of his bud. Hopefully he starts selling bud and not just prerolled (although I definitely see a market for that.) The one thing I will caution him about is the handwritten address and possibly the trail of fingerprints he's leaving on joints/envelopes.
Overall I'd give this vendor 4/5, if only for the packaging. But once he gets that in check - boo ya!
-
I recently received a free sample from hashman i mistakenly thought the vendor posted a sample listing actually he was changing his vendor page around and accidentally posted the item the vendor was nice enough to send me a free sample anyway....
Packaging 5/5
printed labels if the package was compromised there would be absolutely no way to know anything illicit was inside
Shipping/Processing time 5/5
hashman messaged me back in under an hour to tell me that the listing was an accident get this he cancels it and sends me a completely free sample with no real transaction received in 3 days after initial message I thought to myself this guy is definitely about his business
Product 4/5
product was great one spade shaped bud of "Hawaiian" that was slightly more than a gram so I got a couple of sample j's out of it it had great bag appeal covered in tricomes smelled very sweet and tasted great as well on par with bud I've purchased at the same price point, it gave me a euphoric energetic high not too stoney which is what I prefer but still great overall 4/5 because I've had better on the road and off but no complaints I would definitely purchase from him again
-
Ordered half a cup of CANNABUTTER from Hashman.
Price was good.
Communication was great.
Shipping time was good.
Packaging was great. Smell proof and vacuum sealed.
Will test and update on quality tomorrow.
The only thing that was bad was that I had to go to the post office and pay postage for the package.
I was not pleased at all about that. He states free shipping on listing but I would rather go ahead pay shipping on the Road than going to te post office and paying there.
4/5.
EDIT:
Hashman did pay for postage.
There was a weight error and I paid for the difference.
Hashman paid me back .2 BTC 2x the amount I paid which was more than nice :)
Hashman has talked to me and made it all better!
All good here!
Thank you good sir :)
Hashman knows customer service!
Quality test results:
This butter is POTENT!!!!
I made 6 huge chocolate chip cookies and 1 cookie is enough for 3 people.
I ate less than half of one cookie and I was couch locked for hours. Body high is intense. Really good muscle relaxant.
I was getting visuals similar to shrooms which is no easy thing to achieve for me while ingesting Thc.
Much respect for the quality of this butter.
Thanks again Hashman!

Have ordered from hashman a few times this guy is LEGIT. I've gotten his violator kush earwax and this stuff is top shelf and he hooks it up. He also has a variety of top shelf bud to choose from as well. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in but you cant go wrong ordering from HM. Super fast delivery usually under 48 hours after put in transit, Packaging is discreet and super stealth 3x vac no smell no visual if compromised but wouldn't happen anyways. I'm just saying saying if you like top shelf bud and top shelf wax at an amazing price hit him up you won't be disappointed
-
I forgot his customer service is top notch as well his communication is awesome he will answer any inquiry you might have. I don't know how this guy isn't a top seller yet but he will be soon!
-
What is earwax about? How is this used? Never heard before.
-
Earwax is the name because of how the hash looks like earwax. It is a very potent hash that is FULL melt. I like to dab mine personally
-
Oooo I see. I'll have to look into this.
-
Hashman is easily one of the top vendors here. I've had multiple transactions that have all gone perfectly.
Shipping- Stealth is as top notch as I've seen on SR. I've ordered from all the highest rated vendors and this is on par if not better than some. All of my orders have arrived to me within 48 hours of being marked in transit, which has always been same day as ordered. Very fast and perfect stealth what more could you ask for?
Quality- I've gotten his Hawaiian, White Lightning and Pitbull thus far, and I will say they have all been top notch. Very nice indoor buds, fluffy, covered in triches, smell is very nice and is a very nice smoke. I have also gotten his earwax hash which is a knock out smoke, simply amazing. I have never been disappointed with anything I have received.
Quanity- Everything has always been over for me and I've received some samples of new things to try
Communication- I've had questions and requests and everything has been answered very quickly and always helpful. He's here to help people out and cares about customers. Stand up guy.
Overall- 10/10 I've never had to worry about an order. I always follow escrow as I believe its the only way but HM is the only one I have trusted to FE. I promise you wont be disappointed, he should be right up there with the top guys and I know he will be soon. So i guess for right now he's my best kept secret.
-
Subbing. Anyone tried his concentrates/shatter?
-
subbing out with my coccyx out
-
how strong is the butter? a listing is for one stick. do I use that whole stick while making a batch that CALLS FOR one stick or cut it into 1/4 and use regular butter for the rest?
any help is greatly appreciated!
THANKS!
-
This vendor's stuff looks awesome, thinking about placing an order for the Amber glass.
Also, subbing:)
Cheers all
-
Hashman is rising to the top because of his great service. His hash is top shelf whether you get the ear wax or his shatter. The butter is strong he has the dosages on his listings.
He also gets some top shelf bud that i have already raved about before but if your looking to get some high quality product for 4/20 don't hesitate on hashman. He is a trusted vendor and very professional I've never had any trouble with any of my multiple orders.
-
Great quality, and experience with Hashman.
1OZ ChemDawg
Shipping: 10/10 Ordered Saturday night, received in MW Thursday.
Product: 9/10 Trim was great, weight was spot on, huge thick nugs, no shake, a little fresh-but that's not a bad thing imo, strong scent, lots of trichs
Packaging: 9/10 I sent a suggestion to you. Nothing major at all. Completely stealth.
Communication: 10/10 Perfectly courteous and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.
All in all was a great experience, and I will definitely will be back. The strains he has right now look insane. That Grand Daddy Kush looks out of this world. I can't wait to hear some reviews.
-
Any reviews on his shrooms? I see his O listing is at the top of the domestic bestsellers now, but I'd love to hear any comments on stealth, potency, etc.

This!

Well, I guess I couldn't wait. Ordered a zip of the GDK right before he sold out. Will update upon arrival. Can't wait to see what strains they get in next!

====ORDER WITH CAUTION====
I am a returning customer, and have given good feedback in the past. This time, however was TOTALLY different.
This is obviously a vendor who, much like MrYellow, has got in over their head. Too many orders, and too many promises. The vendor could not keep up, and is now in Vacation Mode to try and reconstruct his business model.
At first, Hashman's vendor page was very Buyer friendly. Guaranteed 5 day delivery. 48 hour processing. If you have ANY questions message me. If you don't trust me don't order.
Now, as you may have noticed- it's slightly different.
It now states he has stringent rules on when he will ship, and when he will not ship. Cannabis, in particular, he will only ship Monday-Thursday. Plus DONT CONTACT BEFORE 5 BUSINESS DAYS! Okay, I can understand that, but let me remind you-none of this was brought to my attention before placing the order. It was not even implied on his page.
Placed my order late Wednesday night for an oz of indoor Granddaddy Kush. The next day (Thursday) the OZ listing was taken down, but the 1/2 OZ listing was still up. So I figured he had filled my order, and was limiting other orders like all smart vendors do. Just in case, I messaged the *previously* courteous Hashman about whether we was able to fill my order or not. Very short and simple. The message didn't get read for a day, and then I never received a response. Saturday (keep in mind, my order is still 'In Processing') I messaged Hashman again about the order, as the 1/2 OZ listing was now taken down, and I imagined he had run out of product. I even attempted to contact Hashman on his Tormail account while the Site was being sketchy, and again-no response.
Monday, 4 days later, I received a short abrupt message that stated his new rules. He then stated he would ship my order that day (Monday). Tuesday the package was marked in transit (the day I could cancel the order myself, coincidence?) Waited. Waited. Waited. Thursday, Hashman cancels my order and refunds my money, stating that he indeed was over his head (although, i'm paraphrasing ::) And to please come back in a week.
So be careful when you order from him. His "Rules" aren't set in stone and he will change them as he see's fit. His communication was abrupt and dickish, and that's when he decided to actually reply. Turns out he was unable to fulfill an order of an OZ of Cannabis.
The product I've received from him in the past was high quality though. So there's that. But regardless, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Thank you and +1 for the honest and informative review.

====UPDATE====
Hashman and I have since talked and he seems to be getting everything figured out. I do believe he's doing his best to get all of the kinks worked out of his operations. Like I previously stated, the packages I've received previous to the most recent have been perfect. Honestly, some of the best quality herb you can find here on the Road imo. This one transaction didn't go as planned, and I guess shit happens. But if he keeps getting is strains that look like that GDK, I might have to change my identity and come crawling back :-X

Review for 1 ounce of chemdawg and 1 ounce of Grand Daddy Kush:
5/5 Shipping - I placed my order with hashman on the Monday before 4/20, the package was marked "in transit" on Tuesday, and arrived on Thursday. Stealth was excellent, and the buds were uncompressed and in perfect condition.
10/5 Communication/Customer Service - Hashman quickly replied to all of my questions. When the bud arrived, I realized it was one ounce of chemdog. I had ordered 1/2 oz chemdawg and 1/2 oz headband. I messaged hashman, and told him that it wasn't a problem - that I was just a little disappointed that I didn't get to try the headband because the chemdawg was sooo awesome. He then messaged me and said that he would send me some Grand Daddy Kush to make up for it. By "some", he meant an entire zip! So, I ended up getting 2 ounces for the price of one.
Bud Reviews
Grand Daddy Kush
5/5 Aroma - This bud had an incredibly strong scent that I can only describe as "purply" because it reminded me so much of Grand Daddy Purp. As soon as I opened the bag, the smell spread all throughout my living room.
5/5 Appearance - This bud had incredible bag appeal. It was a vibrant green with a blue-purple hue to it, had extremely long, bright orange hairs, and was covered in frosty trichomes.
5/5 Smoke - The taste, like the aroma, greatly resembled GDP and other strains with purp in their lineage.
5/5 High - I definitely got a strong indica high from this bud. After smoking a bowl, I would typically be locked to the couch laughing my ass off. Also, I would get the munchies like crazy, but I'm a fan of the munchies so that's cool.
Chemdawg
5/5 Aroma - Smelled like pine, lemon, a little gasoline, and a hint of OG Kush.
5/5 Appearance - This bud was absolutely, completely, 100%, blanketed with trichomes. Even the stems were covered. That's all I can really remember.
5/5 Smoke - The smoke was very smooth and had a nice piney taste to it that I associate with really good bud.
6/5 High - Hands down some of the best bud that I have ever smoked. I smoked less than half a gram and was completely blazed for around 4 hours. I'm a daily smoker, so that really impressed me. The high was primarily a head high. I felt extremely euphoric, had energy, and a nice body high as well.
In one transaction hashman completely won me over. He has great product at great prices, and takes great care of his customers. What else in a vendor can you ask for?
I ordered an ounce of Silver Haze from him Monday, and I'll review it when it arrives, too.
-
Review of 1 ounce Silver Haze
Shipping 5/5 - Hashman shipped my order out shortly after it was placed. It only took 2 days to arrive, so it is safe to say that his fast shipping is consistent.
Communication/Customer Service 5/5 - Hashman has some of the best customer service on the road, bar none. He is one of the few vendors that I actually look forward to messaging. He answered all of my questions in a prompt and friendly manner, and even messaged me to let me know when he was headed to the post office to ship my order. Oh, and did I mention he included some free hash in my order?
Silver Haze
Aroma 5/5 - Has a very strong sweet, skunky smell.
Appearance 4.5/5 - All I can say about this bud is that it is frostier than Frosty the Snowman. I'm talking trichomes on trichomes. This bud produces a ridiculous amount of kief when ground. The trim could have been a little tighter. There was a good bit of leaf on a lot of the larger buds. Overall however, this bud looks spectacular. There was even a nug that I like to refer to as a "model nug" which I took a picture of to show off to my friends.
Smoke 5/5 - Cured to perfection and smokes like a dream. Tastes how it smells which is always a good sign.
High 5/5 - Another great sativa which reminded me of the Chemdawg I received from Hashman last month. Very strong head high along with a mild body high. Really great all-day-smoke, but I wouldn't recommend smoking it right before you go to bed.
I'm very pleased with my 2nd order from Hashman. :)
-
I recently received a generous amount of Silver Haze from Hashman and I must say this is definitely some fire herb. Nice buzz that sets in not quick..but once it starts going...it just builds and builds...very heady..but also a lil body buzz as well. Hashman's communication was fantastic as well as he explained why most of my buds were small to medium in size. He threw in a little extra tiny bud bits and pieces from which I made approximately .4g bho/earwax. This stuff absolutely rocks! The body buzz is a bit more prevalent but otherwise my head is swimming in sativa delight..and fuck..2 puffs and Im zoned :o ;D I would advise anyone who has some time and the know how to try and make a little personal earwax (which I think is what I technically made..I just cooked the butane off and then vac sealed it then cooked so now my bho looks like ear wax after being scraped from the plate..but fuckin a yea..its good!)

Does he use MBBs? That should be a given for shipping something like weed but I'm curious.
I wouldn't mind receiving an already done up joint. That's pretty cool he sent that to somebody.

Without going into too much detail I can say there is something like that yes ::) ;) Good stealth..no smell until the final seal was broke..then sweet skunky awesomeness :D 8)
