What does Marijuana look like and how is it used?

Marijuana (also known as "dope," "pot," "weed," "maryjane," "grass," "reefer," "killer weed," "skunk," "kind," "buddha" and "endo") looks like this:

But the leaves and flowering buds are usually dried, so it may look like this when it is used:

It's sometimes smoked in a cigarette ("joint," "reefer," "stick," "doobie," "spliff"), cigar ("blunt," "fatty," "philly"), pipe ("bowl"), or bong inhaled as mist from a vaporizer, or eating (for example in marijuana brownies).

What is that stuff called hash?

Hash-(or hashish) is a hard, brown, sticky substance that's made from the dried flowers and sap (also called resin) of the marijuana plant. It contains more THC than the leaves...so it's stronger than marijuana. Hash can also be converted into an even more potent (powerful) substance called hash oil. Some people drop it on their tongues, smoke it in "joints" and "blunts," or add it to other things they are eating.
