Charas is the name given to a hashish form of cannabis which is handmade in India, Pakistan and Nepal. It is made from the resin of the cannabis plant ( Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica). The plant grows wild throughout Northern India along the stretch of the Himalayas (its putative origin) and is an important cash crop for the local people. The difference between charas and hashish is that hashish is made from a dead weed plant and charas is made from a live one.
