The legal status of hashish varies depending on the country or state in which you reside. In some countries, such as the Netherlands, hashish is legally sold in coffee shops and is decriminalized for personal use.
In other countries, hashish is illegal and classified as a Schedule I drug, which means that it is not recognized for its therapeutic potential and is considered to have a high potential for abuse. In the United States, its legality as a recreational drug versus strictly medicinal will vary depending on the location.
