 Someone Explain Hashish To Me

From what I understand, which is not much  , hash is basically the dried and most potent part of marijuana compressed together. Basically just making a product made out of the most potent part of the reefer.
Is this right?
I feel like I do understand it because that doesn't seem to make too much sense.
It seems like that is just the equivalent of buying muffins, cutting off the tops of muffin, and making a big ball of muffin tops. 
I think I missing out on something here

Lol... muffin tops.
Ok, look at it like this
See that nug? That's weed. hashish would be if you removed everything that's green and kept only the sparkly part. The shiny white looking stuff are called trichomes, and the head of them is where THC is created and stored. Hash is basically where the actual plant material is removed (the part that doesn't get you high in any way), so you're ONLY smoking active alkaloids.

So how does that get you more high than smoking it with plant material? The plant material doesn't get you high at all? are the active cannabinoids in the shiny white stuff? Is it basically like just harvesting the good stuff all together along with more good stuff from other nugs so when you hit it you get more high, like smoking about of potenet potencies?
Whem... that's a mouthful

There are also several different methods of making hash out of cannabis. BHO= Butane hash Oil. Which is any scrap plant parts stuffed in a tube and then butane is added to the greens and washes the trichomes and into a dish. You allow the butane to evaporate and then scrap the black goo off the plate. ISO hash is the same deal, except using 90% or greater isopropyl alchohol. Then You have the bubble hash way, which is again plant material that has been stored and frozen in the freezer. This then get put into a 5 gallon pale of icey water. It then gets blended up with a paint mixer or something similiar and the trichomes break off and fall to the bottom of the bucket. This water is then dumped over a series of screens(bubble bags) where the excess green material is skimmed off and the trich's get collected. Then we have the old fashioned way and the way the middle east still makes hash. They chop the crops down, bunch up a good hand full of plants and proceed to beat the plants over a set of screens with collection plates underneath. The trich's are beat off into the collection plates where it is all then collected and pressed into the gooey goodness known as Hash!

It is concentrated resulting in smoking way less material and getting super stoned. The green parts do have other canninoids in them also, so it is not a waste to smoke the greens.
However with hash, you have to look at it this way. It is like comparing beer with good hard alcohol! Do you want to drink all that filler to get drunk or do you want to cut to the chase and just take a small shot that will get you where 6 beers got ya? This was about the only thing i could come up with for an example.

Thanks for explaining that me!
A few more quick questions... 
One is that what is more... economic, dare I say, hash or mary jane?
Also, I know eating marijuana is more potent than smoking. How does this relate to hash? Is eating marijuana like hash? Is eating hash better than smoking it?
So the middle eastern way is just the good old beat it until you only have the good pure stuff left?
Thanks!

The price of hash varies pretty wildly in my experience, anywhere from $10-25 a gram.
I've never personally ate hash, but I'm sure the effects would be similar to eating bud.

I am not sure how to answer this! It depends i guess on the way you look at it. You can go through alot of smokable herb to make a tiny bit of hash. But that little bit of hash may last you as long as the amount of herb it took to make that hash. I am not sure if there is anything done to compare the 2 of them.

Eating marijuana is quite a different experience on its own, similiar to smoking it with more of the body load. Eating either is the same thing essentially, since edible cannabis basically is hash in the end. The oil extracts all the goodness so your body can absorb the THC and other cannabiniods.

Depend on your liking. Eating is a good way to waste a day doing absolutely nothing! Since, when it kicks in you will being just that. Staring into space, to lazy to move.

basically, i guess. They take a bundle of cannabis plants and just proceed to beat all the chrystals (trichomes) off the plant material through a screen onto a catch plate or box. After a sufficient amount of time of beating the shit out of the cannabis, they throw the bundle of plant stalks and stems away and collect the Chrystally resin. Most time this method ends up with a bit more plant material along with the chrystals. They then knead and press the chrystals together to get a ball or chuck or sticky hash.

I hope these pictures work... but anyway
This is a macro shot of some very high quality bubble hash
And this is a macro shot of the plant (not sure why it has different colored arrows)
but anyway, 100% of the THC is contained within the trichome heads as well as other cannabinoids, and the plant material itself still contains active non THC cannabinoids but making hash is worth it because its much more pleasant to smoke and you only have to smoke a fraction of the amount of material, plus you can make hash with non smokeable parts of the plant instead of just throwing it away

The "Sugar leaf" used in hash making is generally pretty thick and green, not very pleasant to smoke at all, but turn it into hash and its good to go.

I believe the different colored arrows point to various types of things sticking out of the leaf surface.
The red hair is either a trichome stalk with a lost/broken head, or one of those irritating hairs that cause irritation to mucus membranes when eaten. The Blue Arrows point to large surface trichome heads with no stalk. The Green arrows point to trichome heads with stalks. And finally the yellow arrows point to the teeny tiny trichome-like structures that cover most of the stems and leaves in varying concentrations, these however only account for a small portion of the total THC content due to their extremely small size.
Please Correct If I am supplying misinformation, but I'm pretty sure thats pretty much accurate.

Your link didn't work.
Did you mean something similar to this?
