Hashish

Okay kiddo, so hashish is a type of drug made from a plant called cannabis. You know how some people smoke cigarettes or vape? Well, hashish is kind of like that, but instead of tobacco or flavored liquid, it comes from the cannabis plant.

Hashish is made by taking the resin from the plant's flowers and pressing it into a solid, sticky substance. It's usually dark brown or black and can be shaped into little balls or bricks. It looks a bit like play-dough but definitely not for playing with.

When people smoke hashish, they usually use a pipe or a "water bong" and they light it up like a candle. Then they inhale the smoke that comes from it.

Now, remember how we talk about how some things are bad for us, like eating too much candy or touching sharp things? Well, hashish is one of those things - it can be really dangerous for our health if we use it too much. That's why it's illegal in many countries. So, just like we need to be careful with sharp things or hot stoves, we also need to stay away from hashish and other drugs that can harm our bodies.
