The introduction of hashish

2009.04.27

Hashish derives from the Arabic word ḥashīsh, lit. means “grass” sounds like hashsha. That means at a single word “to become dry”. This is also called ‘hash’.

Purified resinous distil of the hemp plant is called hash. It is used as a hallucinogen.Hashish is an one kind of form of cannabis developed by collecting and treating the most potential material that is generated by female marijuana plants as part of their natural growth scale. Besides this, the trichomes are a rich resource of THC. This component of cannabis plant is collected, dried and then compressed into various forms , such as balls, cakes, or cookie-like sheets. Assembles are chipped off, put in pipes and smoked. The middle east, Pakistan, Afganistan are the main resources of hashish.

There are some less powerful products like marijuana, is the dehydrated flower tops female pants. Through a decent elimination process of plant materials and collection of the trichomes hashish is primarily found from the flower tops of cannabis plants. The adhesive mass named hashish, is formed from the trichomes under a controlled pressure.

Without trichomes, marijuana includes other plant materials like leaves, stems, seeds, etc. These other materials are low in psychotropic compounds.

Hashish condenses more THC than marijuana. Therefore hashish is more powerful than marijuana. However certain forms of marijuana contain quality than hashish. As hashish is faced in the air, light and heat, it losses potency. The longer hashish is stashed away, the more it losses quality. If it gets best conditions, it can remains up to 5 years. Additionally, most of the hashish imported into USA, Canada, Europe, and other non-hashish producing areas has been pressed with a filler (adulterated) by importers. In America and other countries there is no legal acceptance for medical use of hashish. Because of the manner of harvesting there are many differences in the ways hashish looks from the dry and dusty soil of Lebanon and Morocco and the green of Himalayaes. . In the Himalayas, hashish is usually rubbed, this results in a darker color hashish. The legend of hashish-eating assassins began with a vague mention by Marco Polo, and was embellished by 19th century French and American writers, fascinated by orientalism and eager to present hashish as a menace. It has also been suggested that if hashish were in fact consumed, it had been adulterated with stronger materials, the effects of hashish being well-known and easily recognizable at that time and place.

Potency and purity are main qualitie of hashish. Different plants produce rosins with authentic chemical qualities that varies in potentials. Some kinds of hashish are called “body stone” while others are called “head high”. There is dependency on geneticaly strains and relative amount of plants as well as the manufacturing involved. The overall activities of drugged person will be suddenly reduced. Druggred person shows unsocial activities as well as slavish characteristic. Sextuality and aggressive behavior is not considerably effected by drugs. There is a investigation on behavioral changes through the mice at the lab. drug is given to animals Orally at a dose of 20 mg delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol/kg three times a week. During the tests a acute administration causes a general sedation. There showed reduced sexual behavior on chronically treated animals and lower socialism despite significantly more nonsocial activities. There is no effect on mating behavior according to early drug treatment(III). The female had conceived by next morning in all three experiments. During pregnancy the behavior of nest building is suppressed after all acute chronic (I) and (III) drug administrations. In early drug-treated animals (III) the transport of nesting material was only slowed down. Non-social activities were normal or increased in all three series. 4. Parturition was significantly delayed by one day after multiple (I) and chronic (II) drug administration. The birth weight was not affected, but the litter size was decreased after chronic drug treatment. Early drug administration (III) had no effects on these parameters. 5. In conclusion, whereas tolerance to the sedative effects of hashish developed very rapidly, the drug influences on social behavior were stable.
