 | | Hashish is a reddish-brown to fl colored resinous material of the cannabis plant, which is collected, dried, and then compressed into a variety of forms, such as balls, cakes, or cookie-like sheets. |
 | | Short-term effects of hashish include problems with memory and learning, distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch), trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor coordination, increased heart rate, and anxiety. |
 | | Hashish smoke contains some of the same cancer-causing compounds as tobacco, sometimes in higher concentrations. |
