Hashish
Hashish
Hashish (pronunciation: /ˈhæʃiːʃ/ or /ˈhæʃɪʃ/), also known as hash, is a drug made from the resin of the cannabis plant.
Etymology
The term "hashish" originates from the Arabic word حشيش (ḥashīsh), which means "grass". It was first used in the 12th century by Arabic writers to refer to the psychoactive resin produced by the cannabis plant.
Description
Hashish is a concentrated form of cannabis that is made by separating the plant's resin glands, known as trichomes, from the plant material and then compressing them into a variety of forms, such as balls, cakes, or sticks. The resulting product is typically a dark brown, green, or black substance that can be smoked, vaporized, or eaten.
Effects
The effects of hashish are similar to those of other forms of cannabis. They include relaxation, euphoria, altered perception, and an increased appetite. However, because hashish is more concentrated than other forms of cannabis, its effects can be stronger and longer-lasting.
