Charas is the name given to hand-made hashish in India and Pakistan. It is made from the extract of this marijuana plant. The Charas marijuana plant played an integral role in the culture and ritual of the Hindu religion, especially among the Shaivs, holding Lord Shiva to be the supreme god. The Charas plant was originally a marijuana sativa but over the thousands of years the Charas plant has been cross breeded tho be a beautiful strong, dark leaved indica. Charas produces big crystallized buds with rather few leaves. Users report a strong dreamlike experience where a feeling of warmth and relaxation is experienced. Users often become very laid back and relaxed.
