Always seemed to make me more mellowed out than just weed,if you haven't tried it you're in for a nice surprise.I recommend the temple ball from stix or WW's in Haarlem.
It is different to weed, but, like weed there many different types to be had.
The biggest difference is between blonde and dark hashes- I prefer dark, and had some Nepalese Temple Ball from Stix, and some Rifman Nouza from Pink Floyd recently- both excellent, and both very different.
