Plural of hashhead; people who frequently use cannabis or hashish.
Compound of 'hash' (cannabis extract, from Arabic 'hashish') and 'head' (a person who uses drugs). The '-head' suffix became common in 1960s drug culture to denote users of specific substances.
The term 'hashhead' emerged during the 1960s counterculture when cannabis use became more visible in Western societies, and it reflects how slang often combines simple words to quickly identify cultural groups—similar to how 'pothead' and 'acidhead' arose in the same era.
