The difference between hashish and marijuana

Hashish and Marijuana are obtained from the cannabis plant. Cannabis is the general term for hashish and marijuana. The plant is used for its content of psychoactive substances, incl. THC. Dried flowers / plant parts is known as marijuana. Resin which is extracted from the plant is known as hashish. Hashish is generally stronger than marijuana. The intensity of the effects of marijuana depend on the use of only the upper part of the plant or the middle part. Hashish is the pure resin. When producing hashish, you separate the resin from the flowering tops by drying and cooling the plant. The resin is filtered through the filter and then crushed into powder. Oil that is released causes the powder to thicken. There are many different ways to make hash which I will talk about later, and be aware that hashish is not always pure, people mix all kinds of things to make money.




The cannabis plant contains more than 400 chemical substances. About 60 of them are unique and can not be found in any other plant. These threads are called cannabinoids. The substance that is most responsible for the physical and psychological effects of cannabis is THC, which is short for delta-9-hydrocannabinol. Nowadays it is possible to manufacture it in a laboratory. The concentration of THC in different cannabis products can vary greatly. Marijuana contains THC and hashish contains more concentrated, but it depends on the individual compound. THC reaches the brain quickly when you smoke it.
