Etymology

The term 'hashish' originates from the Arabic word 'hashฤซsh', which generally means 'herbage' or 'grass'. The usage of hashish dates back to the 12th century in the Middle East, where it was consumed for recreational and medicinal purposes. It is believed that hashish was popularized during the Islamic Golden Age, where it was used by poets and scholars. Over centuries, the production methods evolved, leading to various forms and strengths of hash.
