Hash Oil, is a Natural Botanical Extract of Cannabis.
Hash Oil is the active ingredient in all cannabis medicines, except root extracts.
Hash oil is plant resin, produced on the surface of the plant leaves and flowers. It is a poly-pharmaceutical, composed of mostly cannabinoids, terpenes and flavinoids.
It is very easy to separate and capture hash oil from fresh or dried cannabis.
Herbalists contend that poly-pharmaceutical herbs provide two advantages over single-ingredient synthetic drugs:
(1) therapeutic effects of the primary active ingredients in herbs may be synergized by other compounds.
(2) side effects of the primary active ingredients maybe mitigated by other compounds.

Study: Cannabinoids Are Safe, Effective For Pain Treatment
Thursday, 19 November 2015
Halifax, Canada: Cannabinoids are safe and effective in the treatment of chronic pain, according to the results of a systematic review of randomized controlled trials published in the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology.
Investigators from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and McGill University in Montreal evaluated the results of 11 placebo-controlled trials conducted between the years 2010 and 2014. Trials assessed the use of various types of cannabinoid preparations, including herbal cannabis, liquid and oral cannabis extracts, and nabilone (a synthetic analog of THC), in pain treatment.
Cannabinoids possessed “significant analgesic effects” and were “well tolerated” in the majority of studies reviewed.
Authors concluded, “The current systematic review provides further support that cannabinoids are safe, demonstrate a modest analgesic effect and provide a reasonable treatment option for treatment of chronic non-cancer pain.”
A 2011 review of 18 separate randomized trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids for pain management similarly reported, “[C]annabinoids are a modestly effective and safe treatment option for chronic non-cancer (predominantly neuropathic) pain.”
In September, Canadian researchers reported that pain patients who consumed herbal cannabis daily for one-year experienced decreased analgesia and no increase in serious adverse side effects compared to matched controls.
