Please accept my respectful Obeisances, All glories to Srila Prabhupada,

 

Maharaja, Ganja usually refers to the plant material in its basic form, dried or fresh. It widely refers to any form of cannabis.

 

Hashish is a resin made from the flowers, by extracting and compressing the THC producing glands of the bud.
