Charas is a type of cannabis concentrate, not a plant itself. It is made from the resin of the Cannabis sativa plant, specifically the trichomes, which are small, glandular hairs found on the leaves and flowers.
How Charas is Made:
- Charas is traditionally made by hand, rubbing the flowering tops of the cannabis plant between the palms.
- The resin sticks to the hands, forming a sticky, dark substance.
- This resin is then collected and processed to create different forms of charas, such as blocks or balls.
Charas vs. Other Cannabis Products:
- Hashish: Similar to charas, but usually made by sieving the trichomes from the plant material.
- Marijuana: The dried leaves and flowers of the cannabis plant.
- CBD Oil: An extract from the cannabis plant that contains high levels of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound.
