NP N2dD. In answer to your question, since hash comes from cannabis, the effect is typically the same as weed, though I tend to think that weed is stronger, except for the ice-o-lator stuff, which you can get in Cali and other places where MM dispensaries exist. Your original question however, was about scoring stuff in the Dam you can't get in the states.
Hash comes in many forms, but the moroccan and asian hashes I refer to, look like
this, or maybe
this. As you can see, they're solid pieces that are soft and pliable. You can run a lighter up and down a piece of hash to make it more malleable (or carry it around in your pocket all day). Then you break it up into little pieces and top off your joint/pipe. Others prefer to roll out hash out into thin 'spaghetti' strands to lay along the length of their joint. My preferred method is to smoke hash by itself in a pipe.
As for the effect, it varies, though I wouldn't typically say that hash has the same uplifting, cerebral high as say a haze weed. Some hashes have a lovely light "floating" stone, while others will simply put you to sleep. For me, enjoying hash is all about flavor anyway. It's definitely a way to sweeten some harsh tasting weed.

Hope you enjoy some hash on your upcoming trip!
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
