For hash, in addition to “hachís”, we use also “chocolate”. Another word for it is “costo”, which is used both for marijuana and hash. It could be loosely translated as “dope”:

“Eh, tío, ¿te queda algo de costo? Lo siento, colega, nos lo fumamos todo ayer”

Well, that's enough drug-dealing vocabulary for now :-)
