Morphology

hash + head

The meaning ‘a person who habitually uses hashish’ is directly compositional from 'hash' (the drug) + 'head' (colloquial marker for a person who habitually uses or is into something, as in 'pothead' or 'gearhead'). This productive colloquial compounding pattern makes the sense immediately derivable for a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.

Etymology

Hash head probably comes from putting hash, the drug, and head together. People used 'head' to mean someone very into something, so hash head came to mean 'a person who uses hash regularly'.
