Hasch vs Gras

grass

'das Gras' and 'das Hasch' can both be connected to cannabis in colloquial language. In this meaning, 'Gras' usually means marijuana, that is, dried parts of the plant. 'Hasch' is short for 'Haschisch' and means an intoxicating drug made from the resin of the hemp plant. The words can be confused because they occur in the same drug-related context. However, they do not refer to exactly the same product. Also important: in normal everyday language, 'Gras' first means the green plant found in meadows and gardens; the drug meaning is colloquial.
