I gave up pot and switched to hashish. Big difference for me.

Is hashish commonly available in the US? I get the impression all discussions are about weed/pot.

It is, but harder to get in non-legal markets (most of the US right now). I work in the industry and the trend seems to be more towards purer concentrates like wax and oil - the margins on those are incredible

I did a bit of thinking why I have preferred hashish and it might have to do with the way the weed is grown : outdoors in large fields in Morocco, Turkey, Lebanon etc.

In other words : not made from indoor/artificial light/heavy strain. Weed sold here in NL is incredibly strong. Too strong.

Outdoors / hands off is much smoother.

What difference did it make? You basically just said the equivalent of "I gave up beer and switched to liquor. Big difference for me."

Yeah, sorry about. Hashish : light high. Contemporary weed : heavy stoned.

Is it a lighter high in general? Is the THC actually lower or what?

I don't know too much about it. I've only smoked hashish once and it was offered to me.

I think it is the ratio THC to CDB. Not sure about it. But maybe this is true for true outdoor weed as well, see my other comment.
