Hashish is the most potent form of cannabis (marijuana). Hashish consists of the THC-rich

resinous material of the cannabis plant, which is collected, dried, and then compressed into a variety of forms, such as balls, cakes, or cookie-like sheets.

HOW IT’S ACQUIRED Is obtained from the marijuana by drying and cooling the plant and then

sieving again and again, until all that remains is a very fine and pale yellow powder.

This is the simplest, technically, as well as the hardest, physically, method of making hashish. All the worker needs to do is rub the Nepalese marijuana plants continuously between his hands until the resin, accumulating on his palms, becomes thick enough to be safely scraped off.

The worker can apply the greatest pressure to the rubbing of the plants, with an ingenious tool and, literally, push them through the metal net. A large amount of seeds and stems are eliminate at this stage.
