"hash, a milder form of the drug" - I thought hash was the resin, which could be made from any plant variety, including Skunk and Skunk-like types? I was also under the impression that hash, in the form of cannabis resin, was stronger, not weaker.

EDIT: Found a 'source' for my vague thoughts, even if it's just Wiki. Took a little while to overcome Google's inclination to serve me information about hashing functions and hash maps but I imagine, say, a journalist could have googled hash and found this with little effort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashish
