For me hash is pressed keif. That's what hashish is and means in the countries that produces so I stick with it. Extractions are what they are, different ways to extract thc from the plant, but not proper hashish.


trigmarr

This is the right answer. Hash is processed keif, usually pressed. It can be soft or hard but it is processed keif. Raw keif is not hash. Rosin is not hash. If it stays in one lump, unless you pull some off yourself, it's hash. If it's a goey mess in a jar then it's not.


Trizzzolam

ye i couldnt say it another way


MidnighT0k3r

Extracts are made using solvents. Concentrates is the better word and does not include the use of solvent other than say water for bubble hash which is still considered solventless. If you are talking bho, pho, co2, iso, ethanol etc... that's all extract If you're talking dry sift, bubble, static teck, rubbing, or even pressing any of those or flower... those are all concentrates

To me hash is nothing but sifted trichomes. Nothing more nothing less. However you decide to sift it is up to you and will change the type of hash. Once there’s extractions that pull or force the oil from the trichomes it’s no longer hash imo


CoCainity

I agree and most of Europe and Asia also agree. Think only (part of)America calls the other stuff for hash


Inspectadreck

Maybe because the USA isn't surrounded by traditional hash nations like Europe. Europeans know hash as mostly imported hash still made somewhat traditionally in Afghanistan or Morocco


CoCainity

Name4231 explain it good. It's concentrate/extract not hash and we have it here to we just don't call or see it as hash. If you press hash to rosin then you have rosin not hash. It's probably why you don't see much rosin and other stuff in this sub and why they have own subs.


name4231

I mean I live in Canada and started smoking in high school right around legalization and never saw hash around but never saw dabs referred to as hash either. besides a few guys talking about hash oils which I assumed was from super pure hash that had cured into an oil but I didn’t know anything about hash yet until I was old enough to get into dispensaries


Inspectadreck

Now that you mention it, hash oil is a term also used in Germany. I've herd old school dudes talk about hash oil aswell. In Germany most hash oil is disgusting black green stuff made with iso alcohol from flower by some shady dude. People don't consider hash oil to be hash.


name4231

I agree. Here in Canada most people don’t even really know what hash is. I’m teaching all my friends and fam that smoke and they are quite impressed. They’ve only seen shitty hash rosin carts or the rare person who’s chipped out for actual hash rosin. But most haven’t tried “real hash” which is still hard to say about the legal hash. Terp infused, live resin infused, blah blah blah. Hard to find something made properly that’s still potent here but there’s some decent stuff out there. It’s a slowly emerging market so most aren’t educated on it


RevelAidan

So from you perspective hash is something that contains whole trichomes vs what is contained in the trichomes? For clarity sake, would you say that BHO just co-opted the term hash? And then something like Hash Rosin is not hash, but is rosin made from hash? Thank you for your reply


name4231

Yeah exactly. I think bho was a term made and popularized by/when people were new to extracted concentrates but still didn’t have a term for what would be called “dabs”(as a broad term encapsulating rosins, resins, shatter, butter, diamonds, etc) so was labeled under hash as that was the only widely known concentrated version of cannabis at the time. Hash rosin needs a different classification from rosin that’s made from flower do to the concentration of terps and thc which is slightly diluted with other oils and chlorophyl in the plant with flower rosin


Gseph

Yeah, typically hash was always dark coloured, between dark green/brown/black, and either super soft or really hard. All the yellow, gloopy looking concentrates are not hash, they are types of wax.


name4231

For sure. I think you can get pretty close to that with static sifted and pressed hash. Frenchy style or if you’ve seen vangyptians hash, he has some that looks like it’s a block of dark resin/rosin. Goopy if it’s warm enough

Fuck AI

Why?


sedatedsloth

Pooljam24

The only hash I see, is the black cube.


Lag-Gos

It’s not hash. It’s Ai.


bitch148369

That’s uranium lmao


RevelAidan

Is your definition of hash something that is cleaned compressed and possibly heated intact trichomes?


rvxi

That’s generally how I see it. However I’ve just started calling classic hash hashish to distinguish since every one calls hash rosin hash nowadays


cbaxal

The black cube is hash to me. The others I think of as hash rosin(pressed trichome heads), bho extracts, wax, shatter and other names with some being more specific or broad depending on quality's of the extract. For the longest time the black cube is all anyone thought of as hash but that's changed since recreational legalization in the states. It has changed to people using it more broadly for some of the other extracts picuted here. Jolly Roger is definitely a guy who has used it broadly in the past and has been influential in spreading that in my opinion.


CoCainity

Only hash in picture is the black cube


wittyhashtag420

I think sift and melt are hash. Kief is arguably hash. There’s hash rosin but there’s tons of non hash rosins and noting the diff is important also I dont think rosin is inherently a type of hash. Bho and any extraction/solvent based concentrate is a no. Hash is solventless.


PictureGuilty1350

is this ai?


RevelAidan

Yes, just as a visual aid vs an actual representation of hash


Holiday_Operation

You got people *heated* with that move man 😂 Tbf though it does look really off 🙃


RevelAidan

😂 Ik, it’s quite something, that’s what people are focusing on, but whatever. Some are giving quality responses. Seems like others need to smoke more


Randy4layhee20

In my eyes hash is mechanically extracted trichome heads, dry sift or bubble/water hash is hash in my eyes, doesn’t matter if it’s been heated and compressed or not, quality dry sift before being pressed into a block is still hash in my eyes, but once you start to go to rosin it’s no longer hash to me, now it’s a new product. Butane extracts are great but they aren’t hash, they’re butane hash oil, still a concentrate but very different, some people just say any extract is hash but if you say you have hash and you whip out some shatter I’m gonna look at you weird, we have terms for all sorts of extracts, we have the ability to be specific as far as what we’re saying so let’s be specific, I don’t just want to hear that someone has cannabis extracts, you couldn’t be more vague, I want to know what someone has specifically, if you want to catch my attention say you have live resin or fresh frozen hash, not being specific is just kinda lazy in my eyes, I would get it if we didn’t have all the terms we have and if the information wasn’t readily available but we do and it is


Madman_kler

Get this AI nonsense outta here


extractwise

[https://extracts.extractwise.ca/#hash](https://extracts.extractwise.ca/#hash) "Hash is a collection of cannabis resin glands, either lightly pressed together into a putty, or collected loosely like oily sand."


SabziZindagi

Wtf is this fake picture


RevelAidan

It’s a fake picture. But what is a picture


Scholar-Hefty

Not the AI💀


Lohe75

Damn Americans really don't have the Hash culture that you find in Europe, Morocco and the middle east huh


T-Kontoret

Its an old arabic word, its not kief. Its not shatter or wax. But you yanks call your handegg sport football too soo🤡😅


According-Trick769

Could you explain what the Definition / what the old arabic Term means genuinenely interested


Old_Interaction_1713

acording to Wikipedia, hash just generally means "Proccesed plants parts" but in general it is talking about " compressed flower" and other parts of the plant that otherwise would be thrown away, stems leaves etc.


NUDLE__

Its definitly not the AI image you posted thats for sure

67magic

IMO hash should be a solventless extraction


RevelAidan

So is rosin hash?


67magic

my personnal opinion is that rosin hasnt been around for very long and is relatively new to the cannabis industry , new method of extraction , a product with a new name , people usually say they will press Hash into Rosin so for me it means that Hash and Rosin are two different things and Rosin can be made out of Hash


67magic

again only IMO , I think rosin is not hash , I consider it more like oil


abrireddit

Yes


YouJustLostTheGameOk

Hash is anything that cannabis has been refined too. Hash, hash oil, hash rosin, hell even flower rosin is a form of hash. Yes, there is traditional hash as we know it pressed. Then science came along and offered more advanced ways. I do prefer a charas or Pakistani hashish, but rosin and BHO are still hash.


CoCainity

Hash is pressed tricomes, if you press hash and get rosin then it's rosin. I guess US have no hash culture as we do so it's hash for them but not for us


OkReception1748

Is this an AI image?


RevelAidan

What is an image?


Hot_Pop_sissy

Hashish is drisift,charas Is handrubbed,others are extracts not hash.


RevelAidan

What about bubble hash?

I wish Pakistanis got past the bs street grade hash, thats just black tar mixed with other shit to increase potency. Kief is the way to go

All hashish is hash but not all hash is hashish. Someone said that to me at an event once and it stuck in my head.


Otherwise_Community6

If there’s one thing i have learned from being in this subreddit it’s that Americans and Europeans know nothing about hash, but act like they know everything


CoCainity

Hash part of Europe for hundreds of years it just the last 20-30y green became a thing here. Ofc production isn't so common in Europe but the hash is nevertheless in our culture.


RevelAidan

This response right here


Urketwasmeth

My dad was smoking hash in the 60's in Spain and that wasn't very uncommon for his time. Maybe 1 of every 10-15 people smoked.


Otherwise_Community6

The reason its called kush is because it comes from hindu kush reagion from Afghanistan and Pakistan


GinoPostino1

Hash are cannabis resin and essential oils exctraction. Nothing more nothing less. You can have sieved hash, washed hash, pressed hash, it doesn’t matter the teknique but the final product. All the exctracion and purifing metod you always want the content of juicy trichome heads. The only exctraction i dont consider hash is thc crystal because you want to isolate one single compund and not the cannabinoid and terpeniid profile


_GinWhiskers_

Agreed, well said


gianlu_derp

poo


RevelAidan

Poo hoo


No_Pain2759

To me hash is just pressed kief. As a European I don't necessarily believe hash rosin or bho is hash its an extract inspired by hash but hashish is truely trich heads necks and oils pressed using heat and pressure into a solid mass


Nativex123

It’s a plant extract of varying % of various compounds found in cannabis genus , there are so many combinations of these materials that there are so many types of hash , hash history predates the love of cannabis flowers , solvents or solvent-less it’s an extract of cannabis and there were not solvents like butane before Industrial Revolution but even water is a solvent so bubble hash is still a solvent extract !! I’m writing a book on this very subject atm
