Hash (Hashish): What Is It And How Does It Differ From Marijuana

Brownie with hash inside

It doesn’t matter if you’re a stoner of yore, a cannabis newb, or just an observer, you’re probably familiar with the common marijuana terms like joint, bong, and weed.

But when it comes to the more technical terms like shatter, wax, and Thai stick, things get a little fuzzy (and not in the good way). Case in point: hash (hashish).

People are so confused (and in many cases, bent out of shape) about the hash debate, we — the experts at Honest Marijuana — decided to take the opportunity to set the record straight about this unique form for marijuana.

To do that, we’re going to start at the very beginning with a bit of simple bud biology and track it all the way through to the final product: hash/hashish. [Read more…]

Dabbing: A Beginner’s Guide

You never really knew how many different shades of gold you can make out of green until you’ve seen the cannabis concentrates section of a dispensary or a cannabis convention.

Seeing and smelling well-made marijuana concentrates for the first time may make you crave sushi if you happen to love it since wasabi is one of the only other things on this planet that resembles the texture of wax….besides ear wax of course.

You may have to remind yourself that shatter or cannabis dab oil is for vaping, and of course dabbing, but not licking raw with your tongue given how it comes in virtually as many light and dark golden shades and grades as does honey.

Seeing the strange exotic dab tools covered in bright, sweet, and aromatic substances may send your mind flashing back to memories of eating with chopsticks for the first time. The blow torch may make you crave creme brulee, cherries jubilee, or gourmet smores if the space you’re having your first dab in is clean and pleasant enough.

But enough waxing poetic (can you tell we love dabbing?), let’s get to the good stuff. [Read more…]

Blunt, Joint, Spliff: What’s The Difference?

The language of marijuana is a veritable goldmine of wacky verbiage. From airplane and angola to swag and sticky icky, there’s literally a slang term for every situation. Most of these terms can be used interchangeably as the mood hits, but some common words have very specific meanings and should be used only when the right conditions are met.

Case in point: the terms blunt, joint, and spliff. Along with a few others, they may be the most common words in the cannabis dictionary. But do you know the difference between blunt, joint, and spliff? The answer might surprise you.

Even though cannabis enthusiasts are a pretty laid-back bunch, using the wrong language can be a definite give-away that you’re inexperienced or “unedumacated.” The difference between blunt, joint, and spliff is a prime example. Sure, they both contain marijuana, but that’s where the similarities end. What’s more, there are some pretty distinct differences that set one apart from the other.

To illustrate, it’s like the difference between a car and a truck. Yes, they both have four wheels and an engine, but you’re going to get some pretty strange looks if you point at a Mazda Miata and call it a Chevy Silverado. The terms just don’t mix. The same is true for a blunt, a joint, and a spliff.

Not sure what makes a blunt a blunt, a joint a joint, and a spliff a spliff? That’s why we’re here. So sit back, relax, and prepare to be informed. [Read more…]

18 Surprising Benefits Of CBD Gummies

CBD gummies

How about a bit of history before we begin? No, no, no, don’t go away! It’s relevant. We promise. So let’s talk gummies.

The first gummy candy (shaped like bears) was invented in Germany almost 100 years ago. Seventy years later, in the late 1990s, two natural-foods advocates mixed up a batch of gummy vitamins in order to get their kids to take a daily multi.

Now it seems like gummies are everywhere. We’ve got gummy this and gummy that. So it’s really no surprise that sometime in the last five years, some canna-genius was inspired — probably in a haze of joint smoke — to combine CBD and gummy candy into the ultimate medicinal confection: CBD gummies.

At this point, you’re probably asking, “But why do we need another method of consuming cannabis?” Our answer? Because each method offers a number of different benefits.

So why exactly should you take CBD gummies? In this article, the experts at Honest Marijuana will show you 18 benefits of this tasty and chewy treat. Some of them might surprise you. [Read more…]
