The market for cannabis products continues to grow. Dabbing is becoming increasingly popular because the concentrates, such as hash oil, wax, or budder or shatter (hard resin), offer high quantities, sometimes dangerously so, of THC to the user. When hash is smoked, it is frequently combined with tobacco because it is harder to burn on its own. Dabbed (ingested marijuana concentrate).Both types of cannabis can be consumed or ingested. Hashish is frequently smoked, much like weed. How Do the Uses of Hash and Weed Differ? Hash Both hash and weed have THC-9, but hash has considerably more intense psychoactive effects because the extraction process specifically removes only the concentrated resin paste. Obviously, the higher the chemical makeup of THC, the greater chances for a mind-altering experience. The level of THC-9 in a cannabis product is responsible for how potent it is and the high it will cause. Cannabis has over 400 chemical compounds, and an important one for recreational purposes is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. How Are Hash and Weed Similar?īoth hash and weed are derived from the Cannabis sativa plant. However, the original intent of cannabis production was not to create a high, whereas contemporary uses have exploded into this area of recreational and routine use. People often associate today’s use of hash and weed products with those of other cultures at other times. Weed came to America by way of the early colonists growing hemp for making materials and ropes. The roots of weed arose from the continent of Asia, where the hemp plant had multiple purposes, including herbal medicines, clothing, and food. As colonization occurred, this substance made its way throughout Europe, and, eventually, to the Americas. Its first early use as an ingested substance was after the introduction of tobacco to which the resin was added and smoked. The hash people know today has its roots in India when cannabis plants being harvested were rubbed together by hand to release a sticky sap that was rolled into a ball and put in religious temples. Hash has a long history dating back to ancient Egypt and is believed to be the earliest recorded concentrate from cannabis. Part of the confusion may stem from the original Arabic word “hashish,” which when translated means “grass.” It is essential to make the delineation between hashish and weed, though, because hash provides a different type of high than weed and should never be used in the same amount. Even so, people tend to lump the common names of these substances together, making it difficult to differentiate which is being discussed. Most often, when people refer to marijuana or weed, they mean the flowers or buds of cannabis, not hash. Resin is still present in the dried pieces of the plant but does not require the same extraction methods. It has a greenish-gray color and a dry, loose texture and is not the stickier composite form of hash. Marijuana, also commonly known as weed, ganja, pot, grass, and Mary Jane, is made from the dried parts of the Cannabis sativa plant - flowers, buds, and stems - not the resinous glands like hashish. No matter how hash is produced, it has powerful, mind-altering effects on people who use it. A single drop of hash oil has the same impact as one joint. More contemporary forms of extraction processes can dramatically increase the strength of the substance. Unlike newer kinds of cannabinoids, hash production does not require solvents, although solvents are used to produce a variety of derivatives, such as popular hash oils and waxes. The processes to make hash have been around for centuries, although a more recent ice water “bubble hash” method is being used widely. Hash has dark green or brown coloring and is typically sold in bricks or balls that contain the resinous substance. The glands are called trichomes and are found on the plant’s surface, and, the resin once extracted and processed, takes on a concentrated paste form. Hash is a resin extract from the glands of cannabis plants.
