Cannabis Hash / Hashish
What Is Hashish?
Hashish is made by collecting the sticky resinous trichomes that cover the cannabis plant’s flowers and leaves, and compressing them into a solid, paste-like form. This sticky resin, fundamental in the hashish production process, results in a product that is typically darker in color—ranging from dark brown, green, to dark blonde—than traditional marijuana and boasts a higher concentration of THC, the compound responsible for the plant’s psychoactive effects.
Hash-making processes have been around for centuries and more recently the “bubble hash” method, involving ice water, is gaining in popularity. Hash does not need solvents to be produced, however, solvents can be utilized for creating various forms of derivates such as hash oils and waxes. Using more modern extraction methods can significantly enhance the potency of the substance. The potency of hash oil is comparable to that of one marijuana joint. Regardless of the method of preparation, hashish has strong psychotropic effects on users.

Differences Between Marijuana and Hashish
As mentioned, cannabis has been used for both recreational and medicinal purposes for centuries. Marijuana and Hashish have even been reported to be the most widely used illicit drugs in the world. But in what ways are they different? Both are derived from the cannabis plant but marijuana and hashish are extracted differently. Most cannabis preparations – marijuana and hashish – are either smoked or taken orally after being mixed with other substances but there are other chemical differences that make the effects and potency of these two substances different.
Hash is produced from the resin of the cannabis plant. The resin of cannabis plants contains high levels of cannabinoids, with THC being responsible for its primary psychoactive effect. Hashish is generally more potent than marijuana due to its higher concentration of cannabinoids.
Marijuana, on the other hand, is composed of the dried leaves, flowers, and stems of the cannabis plant. It contains a lower concentration of cannabinoids than hashish, although the exact composition can vary depending on the strain and method of cultivation.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, marijuana (cannabis) is one of the most used drugs in the U.S. A survey found that 35.4% of young adults aged 18 to 25 (11.8 million people) reported using marijuana in 2021.
Is Hashish Consumed Differently Than Marijuana?
Hashish is often smoked, similar to marijuana. Both forms of cannabis can be used either through consumption or ingestion. Hash is typically used in the following ways:
- Used in teas or other consumable items
- Smoked through a pipe or water pipe (bong)
- Rolled into a joint or blunt
- Dabbed (ingesting marijuana concentrate)
Hash is commonly mixed with tobacco when burned, as it tends to be more difficult to ignite on its own. The popularity of dabbing has increased due to the concentrated form of cannabis products, such as hash oil, wax, budder, or shatter (a hard resinous substance), which can provide high amounts of THC.
Marijuana Consumption
According to a 2020 survey, 49.6 million people reported using cannabis in the previous 12 months; of those, 5.1%, or 14.2 million people, were diagnosed with a cannabis use disorder. Here are the methods commonly used for marijuana consumption:
- Smoking: The classic method for consuming marijuana is to smoke it by rolling it into a joint or blunt, smoking it out of a pipe or water pipe (bong), or in a more concentrated form with a dab rig.
- Vaping / Vaporizers
- Edibles (gummies, cookies, brownies, and candies)
- Tinctures/Topicals
- Other marijuana products
Marijuana laws are increasingly being legalized across the United States, and this appears to be having an upward influence on usage. Hashish contains higher levels of THC than smoking or ingesting cannabis and, as such, may present additional concerning health risks.
