Hashish and Marijuana are two psychoactive drugs derived from the hemp plant Cannabis
sativa. Obtained from the female flowers of the plant, cannabis products are among the
most widespread and commonly used illegal drugs. Hashish is created from the resin of
flower clusters. Parts of the flowers and the leaves may be included.
Marijuana is made of air-dried leaf, flower, and steam parts.
|
| » Appearance |
 |
Sticky, brown powder which may have red, black and
green shades Hemp flowers are resinous and sticky.
When the flowers are dried and have undergone an
extraction process, they produce a brownish, slightly
sticky powder which has the characteristic odor of
hashish. The powder is often compressed into blocks.
The origin of the hashish can be easily determined.
Blackish hashish comes from Nepal and Afghanistan,
dark hashish from Pakistan, brown hashish from
Morocco, red hashish from Lebanon, and
greenish/hay-colored hashish from Turkey.

|
| » Modes of use |
 |
Hashish and marijuana can be smoked, taken orally
and injected intravenously.
It is smoked in a hand-rolled cigarette ("joint") or in
special pipes ("shillums"). When smoked, they give off
an unmistakably sweetish, hay-like smell.
Hashish cakes and jam are eaten. A tea may also be
made of it.The effect of smoking is three times stronger
than if eaten. When smoked, the THC level in the
blood reaches its peak within 15-20 min. A "high" is
reached within 15-30 min and continues for as long as
the person smokes. The feeling of euphoria slowly
subsides over a period of 3-4 hours.

* Risk of personality changes
* Loss of contact with reality.
* Chromosomal damage
* Impotence
* Temporary sterility
