It all starts with “trichomes”

Cannabis comes commercially in the form of Indica, Sativa and hemp. It has various parts: roots, stems, leaves, flowers. The most important part is the Flowers. On the flowers, there are small, tiny mushroom-like resin glands. These glands are called Trichomes. Trichomes contain large amounts of THC, aromatic terpenes and cannabinoids. Trichomes have psychotic effects, you can use them to get high. Trichomes can simply be extracted from cannabis to concentrates.

How Hash is produced?

Hash production usually involves cultivating and harvesting the Cannabis female plant. The flowering bud of plants is then dried. The trichomes present on the flowers are collected by filtering the buds with a sieve. The filtered resin is then crushed either by hand or machine, which results in the extraction of oil with a thick texture. Another step (optional) involves moulding the crushed resin into the desired form.
