Six Star Bubble Hash 626.6mg/62.6% THCa

What is hash?

Hash is a cannabis extract, made when trichomes, the resinous glands that line the surface of cannabis plants, are removed and processed into a concentrated form. It is usually brown or dark green in color and comes in a brick or ball.

Hash is a solventless extract, as trichome removal is done with physical manipulation and temperature changes, not with the use of solvents or chemicals.

There are a few different types of hash, and processes to make it have been practiced for centuries.

Hash vs. weed

When people talk about cannabis, weed, or marijuana, they are usually referring to buds, or flower, not hash.

Hash refers to the extract created from the plant’s resinous trichomes. Hash can be extracted in multiple ways; more on its different types below. Because hash is an extract, it typically has a much higher level of THC than flower.

Weed or flower is smoked in pipes, bongs, joints, and more, and hash can either be sprinkled on top of flower and smoked, or put in a dab rig and dabbed.

Hash can be consumed in a number of ways.

• Traditionally, hash has been consumed orally, either as a solid or infused into a beverage such as the traditional Indian drink bhang
• Hash can be smoked, either on its own or with flower, on top of a bowl or rolled into a joint
• Some types of hash can be dabbed—full-melt hashes, which are high quality and have the ability to melt completely in a nail, leave little residue

To get started smoking hash, you’ll need a pipe or a bong. If dabbing, you’ll need a dab rig, dab tool, and heating mechanism, such as a torch or e-nail.

As hash is a concentrate, its effects will be much stronger than smoking cannabis flower. Hash potency can range from 40-80% THC, depending on starting material and extraction methods, whereas flower is usually in the 15-25% THC range.
