Marihuana prensada

Marihuana prensada, also called cannabis prensado or, informally, ladrillo or paragua, is low-grade cannabis that has been compressed into blocks to make it easier to transport. Paraguay is the main producer, and the compressed product is exported from there across South America, including to Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru and Colombia, as well as to Venezuela and the United States, under a range of street names such as soko, doko, paraplex macona, pasto, faso, chamico, enramao, presso and Paraguayan brick. The compression process, combined with poor cultivation practices and sometimes deliberate adulteration, makes marihuana prensada notably more toxic than ordinary cannabis.
