"hash, a milder form of the drug" - I thought hash was the resin, which could be made from any plant variety, including Skunk and Skunk-like types? I was also under the impression that hash, in the form of cannabis resin, was stronger, not weaker.
EDIT: Found a 'source' for my vague thoughts, even if it's just Wiki. Took a little while to overcome Google's inclination to serve me information about hashing functions and hash maps but I imagine, say, a journalist could have googled hash and found this with little effort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashish
- madaxe_again 12y agoYes. The article, like most of them on the topic in the UK press today, is nonsense. Hash is, per gram, assuming you've made your hash from the same plant as you're measuring against, much, much stronger - as you're getting rid of the useless leaves, stalks, and vegetal matter, and just retaining the resin from the trichomes.
- TillE 12y agoThey try to explain again: "Unlike skunk, hashish - cannabis resin - contains substantial quantities of another chemical called cannabidiol or CBD and research suggests this can act as an antidote to the THC, counteracting psychotic side effects." Which is still nonsense, because hash will have exactly the same cannabinoid profile as the plant it was made from. And are they seriously using "skunk" as some kind of meaningful distinguisher? Even if that's just their term for all deliberately cultivated, non-landrace cannabis, there's still a huge variety of stuff out there.
- jasonm23 12y agoThis same "research" was on the cover of the Sun, Mail, etc. about 20 years ago. Then as now, it's simple propaganda.
