HASH
Hashish, or hash, is a drug made from the flowers, leaves and stems of cannabis. It is composed of compressed or purified preparations of stalked resin glands.
Hashish Vs Marijuana
Hashish Vs Marijuana
Both hashish and marijuana, also called weed, pot or ganja, are made from the female cannabis plant. But the process and the results of each are very different.
The major difference between the two is that the term “weed” usually applies to dried pieces of the plant, while hash is a paste from resin, or sap of the plant.
The active ingredient in hash is the same as the active ingredient in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); however, the concentration of THC in hashish is much higher than it is in marijuana.
WEED
Weed is essentially an unprocessed form of marijuana, which includes the leaves and buds of the Cannabis sativa. The only preparation of weed is drying the leaves and buds.
HASH
Hash, which is short for hashish extracted with solvents, is a preparation of marijuana made from the resin of the buds of either type of the Cannabis plant.
HASH OIL
HASH OIL
Hash Oil is an even more concentrated form of hashish and may have as high as 20% concentrations of THC, per the Drug Enforcement Administration.
DETECTION
In general, the detection windows for THC in a urine test can be up to the following amount of time:
One use: 3 days
Moderate use (4 times a week): 5 days
Daily use: 10 days
Daily use over an extended period of time: 30 days
THC can also be stored in hair follicles, where it may be detected for up to 90 days.
This long elimination period is of concern for a medical marijuana user who may need to take a urine drug screen.
