What is hashish? Hash, or hash, is essentially compressed grass (cannabis resin) with both a high density and a high concentration of active ingredients. Hash can contain both CBD (Cannabidiol) as well as the psychoactive substance THC, which is banned in Slovakia. Its biggest advantage, however, is that it is made up of above-standard amounts of sought-after nutrients such as relaxing terpenes or flavonoids. This is why it is often mixed with CBD flowers (cones) from the cannabis plant, creating a strong synergistic effect during vaporisation.
CBD hashish has similar effects to CBD oil (drops) or any other product containing the active ingredient CBD. However, they are both more noticeable and more intense, which is one of the reasons why it is sought after by seasoned users of cannabis products. The healthiest way to enjoy hash is with a compatible herbal vaporizer, as it does not produce a carcinogenic smoke, but an aerosol (vapor). However, there are also users who add hash to a CBD joint or to a regular tobacco cigarette. However, we definitely do not recommend such consumption methods as they are very unhealthy.
What is hashish? What is it used for?
What is hashish? Hash, also known as hash, is made by pressing carefully selected parts of cannabis flowers, which must contain the so-called trichomes - these are the small hairs on the cones that produce the aforementioned cannabis resin. The pressing process produces a solid, highly concentrated mass (hash) that contains high concentrations of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. This can then be smoked or vaporised as it is the final CBD product.
"Trichomes are the powerhouses that create the cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids that give cannabis its unique effects, aromas and flavours. Hash is made by separating these trichomes from cannabis buds and concentrating them into a potent extract. "ZeWeed
However, in the first case, carcinogenic smoke is to be expected during combustion, which has very negative effects on human health. It is therefore better to reach for an electric device called a vaporiser. Vaporisation has a number of significant advantages over smoking, especially in the long term. Vaping creates an aerosol, not smoke, that transports the active ingredients and nutrients from the hashish into the bloodstream of its user.
What is hashish with CBD used for? Hash is used both as a collector's item and as an input material for vaporizers. Some progressive countries, such as Switzerland, allow CBD flowers to be sold as a tobacco supplement, making them easy to get hold of on every corner. The USA is no exception, where vaporising CBD hashish is quite common. Certified dry herb vaporizers from the brand Storz & Bickel are even used by a Czech hospital in Brno, where some patients can vaporise cannabis on the premises.

How to smoke hashish with CBD? Taking

However, vaporisation is the best solution, as it does not produce carcinogenic smoke, but a so-called aerosol (vapour), which is supposed to deliver the active substances to the human body.
