    The common form, hashish, is made by removing the resin glands and collecting them. The most recent method is to submerge the plant matter in a bucket of ice water. This chills the resin, and makes the glands brittle. The mixture is agitated, to break off the glands. Then, it is passed through a series of filters. Resin glands are fairly uniform in size, so the result is nearly pure glands, containing exceptionally high concentrations of cannabinoids.
    This can be done without water or filters using canned butane, or some other pressurized solvent. The gas is sprayed through a tube filled with plant matter, and the tube is shaken. The butane, in liquid form, carries the active chemicals away from the plant, and then evaporates, leaving a crust of resin. Beware volatile, flammable chemicals...
    One historical method was to paint someone in honey and send them running through the hemp-fields. Once the runner returned, the resin glands (and dirt, leaves, insects, etc.) stuck to the honey was scraped off.
    I'm sure there are other ways, but they're all variations on the same idea.
