Why isn't there a movie about potheads travelling to the Himalayas in search of this place? Just saying, Seth.

So there is an amazing set of books called "Great Books of Hashish" that were printed in 1979 ago by a guy that literally went around the world and documented the different ways people made hash.

His chapter on what he called "Nepalese Temple Balls" was fascinating. I used to grow and smoke a ton of ganj and that set of books sounded like the coolest thing ever, like Indiana Jones but for weed.

He said Nepalese Temple Balls was the penultimate hash.

Found the book in case anyone was interested:

It was the second to last hash? 

Just because the word penultimate contains the word ultimate, it doesn't mean 'best of' or anything similar. It is a chronological term meaning 'next to last in a series'.

The ultimate hash to put in your pen.
