Hashish is a psychoactive drug that is derived from the cannabis plant. It is obtained from the exudate of the leaves and female inflorescences of the plant.

Option 1: Leaves - This option is incorrect because while the leaves of the cannabis plant contain traces of THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis), hashish is not directly obtained from the leaves.

Option 2: Stem - This option is incorrect because hashish is not obtained from the stem of the cannabis plant. The stem does not contain the desired concentration of THC.

Option 3: Exudate from leaves and female inflorescences - This is the correct answer. Hashish is obtained from the resin or exudate of the leaves and the female inflorescences of the cannabis plant.

Option 4: Exudate from stem and male inflorescences - This option is incorrect. Hashish is not obtained from the exudate of the stem or the male inflorescences of the cannabis plant.

In conclusion, option 3 is the correct answer as hashish is obtained from the exudate of the leaves and female inflorescences of the cannabis plant.
