grass
'das Gras' and 'das Haschisch' both belong to the area of cannabis as an intoxicant. However, they are not exactly the same. 'Gras' is a colloquial term that usually means marijuana, that is, dried flowers and leaves. 'Haschisch' is obtained from the resin of the hemp plant and is often pressed. Learners may confuse the words because both come from the same plant and can be consumed in similar ways. If you mean the specific product, the difference is important: 'Gras' is more like plant material, while 'Haschisch' is resin.
