Hashish, or hash, is a drug made from the resin of the cannabis plant. It is consumed by smoking a small piece in a pipe, vaporizer or joint, or via oral ingestion; as pure hashish will not burn if rolled alone in a joint, it is mixed with herbal cannabis, tobacco or another type of herb for this method of consumption. Depending on region or country, multiple synonyms and alternative names exist. Hash is a cannabis concentrate product composed of compressed or purified preparations of stalked resin glands, called trichomes, from the plant, it is defined by the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs as "the separated resin, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant". The resin contains ingredients such as tetrahydrocannabinol and other cannabinoids—but in higher concentrations than the unsifted or unprocessed cannabis flower. Purities of confiscated hashish in Europe range between 4-15%. Between 2000 and 2005 the percentage of hashish in cannabis end product seizures was at 18%.
Hashish may be resinous depending on both preparation and room temperature. This all depends on the process and amount of leftover plant material Hashish was the primary form of cannabis used in Europe in 2008. Herbal cannabis is more used in Northern America. Hashish has been consumed for many centuries, though there is no clear evidence as to its first appearance. North India and Nepal has a long social tradition in the production of hashish, known locally as charas, believed to be the same plant resin as was burned in the ceremonial booz rooz of Ancient Persia; the first attestation of the term "hashish" is in a pamphlet published in Cairo in 1123 CE, accusing Nizari Muslims of being "hashish-eaters". The 13th century Ibn Taymiyyah prohibited the use of hashish. Smoking did not become common in the Old World until after the introduction of tobacco: until the 1500s hashish in the Muslim world was consumed as an edible. In 1596, Dutchman Jan Huyghen van Linschoten spent three pages on "Bangue" in his historic work documenting his journeys in the East.
He mentioned the Egyptian hashish. He said, "Bangue is much used in Turkie and Egypt, is made in three sorts, having three names; the first by the Egyptians is called Assis, the poulder of Hemp, or of Hemp leaves, water made in paste or dough, they would eat five pieces, as big as a Chestnut. Hashish arrived in Europe from the East during the 18th century, is first mentioned scientifically by Gmelin in 1777; the Napoleonic campaigns introduced French troops to hashish in Egypt and the first description of usefulness stems from 1830 by pharmacist and botanist Theodor Friedrich Ludwig Nees von Esenbeck. In 1811, the founder of homoeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, published a "proving" of the effects of Cannabis Sativa in his work Reine Arzneimittellehre. In 1839, O’Shaughnessy wrote a comprehensive study of Himalayan hemp, recognised by the European school of medicine and describes hashish as relief for cramps and causing the disappearance of certain symptoms from afflictions such as rabies and tetanus.
This led to high hopes in the medical community. In 1840 Louis Aubert-Roche reported his successful use of hashish against pestilence. Psychiatric experiments with hashish were done at the same time with Jacques-Joseph Moreau being convinced that it is the supreme medicament for use in psychiatry. In the 19th century, hashish was embraced in some European literary circles. Most famously, the Club des Hashischins was a Parisian club dedicated to the consumption of hashish and other drugs. Baudelaire wrote the 1860 book Les paradis artificiels, about the state of being under the influence of opium and hashish. At around the same time, American author Fitz Hugh Ludlow wrote the 1857 book The Hasheesh Eater about his youthful experiences, both positive and negative, with the drug. Hashish was mentioned and used as an anesthetic in Germany in 1869, it was imported in great quantities from India and called charas. However, there were people who did not deem cannabis as harmless. Between 1880 and 1900 was the peak of the medicinal use, where hashish compounds were most commonplace in all European countries and the USA.
Evidence of misuse at that time was non-existent. Hashish played a significant role in the treatment of pain, dysmenorrhea, pertussis asthma and insomnia in Europe and USA towards the end of the 19th century. Rare applications included stomach ache, diarrhea, diminished appetite, hemorrhage, Basedow syndrome and malaria; the use was prohibited worldwide as the use as a medicine was made impossible by the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. At the beginning of the 20th century, the majority of hashish in Europe came from Kashmir and other parts of India, Afghanistan, as well as Gree
