Charas is similar to hash. The main difference is that is made from live, fresh cuttings, while hash is made from dried cannabis flowers.

Charas is popular on the Indian subcontinent, and is typically sold in balls or sticks. It’s smoked using a chillum, a kind of pipe that’s popular among Hindu monks. it is venerated by many Hindu sects who consider Lord Shiva to be the supreme god, with some considering it to be on of Shiva’s aspects. When it is produced by professionals, it can come out smooth and shiny, looking like a glass marble.

Charas is made using the hand rolling method. First, you wash your hands using an unscented soap. Then, take fresh buds from your favorite strain and slowly work it between your fingers. You want to apply enough pressure to remove the resin, but not enough to lose any. Once you’ve cleaned out the buds, discard them and continue rubbing your hands together until the resin forms a ball or stick. This is your charas hash.
