FIrst off your looking for the wrong thing
HASH is a high potency marijuana product made by using heat to compress cannabis into a small block

You want to research HEMP
hemp is closely related to marijuana however it produces no THC
various strains of hemp and cannabis grow on every continent on the world except for Antarctica
in the 1700's every farm had to plant hemp
the declaration of independence was written on hemp paper
the founding fathers where a huge fan of it because in one year a hectre of cannabis can produce the same amount of fibre as a hectre of trees which take years to grow
