I love hash, but being a daily user i just dont feel that it is quite as good. example: i would be satisfied if i smoked a joint that day, but if i only smoked some hash, i donno it just feels as though my day isnt done. haha.
im guessing there is just more actives compounds in bud where as hash seems more specific. Different methods and what parts of the plant you use could affect this all of course.
Plus im wondering whether hash would oxidize more than bud, in that hash would take longer to go from clipped bud to customer because of processing. I look at both cannabis buds and hash under microscope when i pick up. Almost always the trichomes and resins of hash have considerably more amber trichs in there. Where as bud seems to have more a mix of cloudy and amber, depending on strain of course and when they harvested.
