not necessarily.
hashish is still a 'natural' product, albeit concentrated in form.
Opium also ... so no - hashish is not synthesised.IMHO
No hash is not synthesized at all. It is crudely harvested by running naked through marijuana bushes and scraping off the residue.
Anytime I grow a plant these days, I turn it into "bubble hash" by mixing all of the plant into buckets of ice, which knocks off the part of the plant that I want to keep, ie: hashish.
No need to be trimming buds etc., just chuck the entire plant in and use some elbow grease and "Hey Presto", you have your product in a very compact, curable, storable and concentrated form. Too easy
There are a few ways of making hashish.
I wonder how long it takes to get a thousand kilos by running through a crop...lmao at this idiocy.
THC is not water soluble so putting your pot in a pot of boiling water will extract a lot of the water soluble poo while leaving the THC in the vegetable matter so this is one way to increase the potency of your pot.
Grinding all your pot up ,including the stems and leaf then soaking it in alcohol is considered a solvent method of extracting the THC.
The alcohol is then "boiled off" leaving you with hash oil that can be further purified by using ether.
This method allows you to use waste leaf and stem which contain very small amounts of THC to make high quality hash oil.
Once you have hash oil it is easy to make into high quality hash.
Commercial hashmaking will use the solvent method,compare the labour required for that compared to sticking your arms out and running through a crop like a kid pretending to be an aeroplane.
There is simple chemistry involved with making high quality hash in commercial quantities.
There is a book titled "The art of modern hashmaking" which goes through the process of solvent extraction, search for it with google.
