Different slangs = different weed?

Discussion in 'General' started by European, Oct 2, 2007.

  1. I'm not an experienced smoker, nor an active one. I have some now and then at parties but I'm interested starting up some more. I've read up alot on cannabis, but one thing has been bothering me.

    I live in Sweden, and we (as everybody else) have several different slangs and terms for hemp. Is there a difference between hasch, weed and marijuana?

    I know the difference between sativa and indica and that there are several different mixes of them that produces different qualities and effects of cannabis. But most people I talk with are all "I've done marijuana, but not hasch since it's not good" and stuff like that. Sounds like ignorance to me, but who am I to judge?

    Thanks in advance!

  2. Weed and marijuana are the same thing...the green flowering tops of the plant. Hash is a solid block made from just the most potent parts (resin glands) of the flowers. If done right, it is far more potent than weed itself.

    :D Welcome to the boards!
     
  3. Ah thanks! But in general, it's the same thing but different highs?
     
  4. weed=marijuana, it's like a nick name, because stoners like short words.
     
  5. weed, marijuana, sinsemilla are all names for the bud part of the Cannabis plant.
    Hash is an extract of THC, there's a couple different ways to make hash.
     
  6. weed=marijuana=ganja=herb=pot=bud=sweet leaf etc etc
