Hashish is derived from the cannabis plant. It's much more potent than regular cannabis and is usually gotten from the flower tops of the plant. It is normally in a pipe or water pipe, but in can also be eaten (1 ). According to legend a band of men lead by Hassan-i-Sabbah claimed to use hash to build up there courage to terrorize the Middle East during the eleventh century (2 ). The band of men was called "hashshashin" in Arabic translated into English it is "assassin." "The Assassin movement," was called by its members at the time as the "new propaganda", in other words a band of Hash smoking killers was a myth (3 ). The Hashshashin were a sect of Shiite Muslims (4), and they terrorized political center across the Middle East during the Crusades (5 ). Some discount the notion of hash dazed assassins, also Muslim observations of Hash would also discount this movement, of assasins. Ronald Siegel said "floating to heaven in a hashish stupor was bad enough, but laughing riotously about it was unacceptable.". Another thing Muslims also noted it sapped a person's motivation to work. So it was banned(6 ). |
