Forms of Old School Hash
Hash varies in production methods, which results in differing textures and overall experiences when consumed.
Bubble Hash
Bubble hash is a concentrate produced through a process that involves using ice water and agitation to separate trichomes from the cannabis plant. Trichomes are the resin glands containing cannabinoids (like THC and CBD) and terpenes, which contribute to the effects and aroma.
Users often scoop the bubble hash and sprinkle it over their flower or mix it in before rolling a joint or blunt.
Brick Hash
Brick Hash is formed by pressing finely sifted resin glands (trichomes) tightly into a rectangular shape. This compression helps remove excess moisture and binds the trichomes together, resulting in a solid and dense block.
Users typically break off small pieces and either crumble it into a joint or pipe, mix it with tobacco, or vaporize it.
Temple Ball
Temple Balls are hand-pressed into a compact, round shape, creating the iconic temple ball appearance.
The pressure applied during this process helps to fuse the trichomes together, often making the product a softer, more pliable form of hash.
The malleable nature of Temple Balls allows users to roll it in their hands to form a snake for their joint or blunt.
