What is Hash?

Hash is readily available in Canada for those who buy weed online. Before you receive hash through the mail, you should have a better understanding of what it is. How is it different from the usual marijuana products and flowers? Is hash a form of cannabis concentrate? Read below for the answers to these questions.

Short for “hashish”, hash has traditionally been used in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Hash, like shatter and other forms of marijuana concentrates, is made from extracting the resin compound from raw marijuana plants. Cannabis resin glands, more commonly known as trichomes, is extracted and separated from the flowers. Trichomes is the good stuff in weed, the stuff that gives users certain effects after they light up a joint. Trichomes also contain what is known as cannabinoids and terpenes, both of which have become the center of marijuana research due to their medicinal properties.

The cannabinoid and terpene content in Hash is high. This is the reason why some cannabis users may say that hash is stronger than smoking flowers, and they are often right. The higher concentration gives hash the ability to produce some of the most potent psychoactive and physical experiences that THC has to offer.

So, if you are a first time user, start your hash dosage low, as your tolerance may be accustomed to weed, but not hash.
