Hash first arrived in Europe in the 18th century. It is an age-old commodity that has not lost it's appeal over time. It is available globally, and you can buy Delta 8 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) hash in The Netherlands, and many other countries online now.
Hash is a purified form of cannabis, and is still made in the traditional way by many in various countries. Of course, some will tweak their methods for their desired result, but by and large the procedure to make it is pretty much the same as it's always been.
Hash is made by removing the trichomes of the cannabis plant. Under a microscope trichomes have the appearance of tiny glass-like mushrooms. On a large scale, this is done by machine, rotating the plant until the sticky residue sticks to a chamber, where it can be carefully scraped off. Using heat and pressure will form the small slates of hash. It's a laborious process, but well worth the time and effort.
In general, hash is an illegal substance as the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) levels are usually high. High levels of THC give the mind altering psychoactive effect, and so production or possession can carry heavy penalties.
However, good news is on the horizon. As recent as 2018, the American Farm Bill deemed that the mildly psychoactive compound Delta 8 THC, should be classed as a legal compound.
What is Delta 8 THC?
Delta 8 is a cannabinoid found in the hemp plant. It is actually CBD (cannabidiol) which has been converted with specific acids safely. It gives a mildly psychoactive effect, but not only this, it can improve cognitive function.
Technically Delta 8 was made lawful because it is derived from hemp, even though it is slightly mind altering, it started life as CBD. CBD is classed as legal, it is non-addictive, and safe to use.
It is now generally known how CBD can help with specific physical and mental health conditions. CBD is a powerful cannabinoid that can be bought in many forms. You can buy CBD flower, oil, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, hash, cartridges, personal care items, and much more.
CBD is available to buy in The Netherlands and in most countries around the world. At first CBD was available to buy online, but time has seen this popular compound land on our high streets. All sorts of different CBD products can be bought, or products that contain CBD. Sales and demand has rocketed in recent years, as many learn about the vital benefits this compound offers. CBD is a natural supplement than can be easily incorporated into a daily routine.
Delta 8 is being favoured by those who have used Delta 9 THC for a long time, but don't like the robust psychoactive effect it gives. Delta 9 has street names referred to as, 'pot', 'green', 'weed', 'smoke', 'Mary Jane', and others. Not only is it stronger than Delta 9, but it can leave the user 'stoned'. This state of mind slows the user down, and can make them lethargic.
It could be said that the Delta 8 cannabinoid falls somewhere in between CBD and Delta 9 with regard to psycho-activity. All in all it is yet another compound naturally gifted to us from the cannabis family, that has amazing health and wellbeing properties.
