What is Bubble Hash?
The cannabis industry’s growth and advancements in technology have led to numerous ways to enjoy marijuana. Today, we’re diving into one of the most popular cannabis concentrates: Bubble Hash.
Understanding Hash: Cannabis Concentrates
Hash, or hashish, is an ancient cannabis concentrate extracted from the trichomes of marijuana buds. Trichomes are tiny, sticky hairs that hold the plant’s most potent psychoactive compounds within their resin. By compressing this resin, we obtain a concentrated paste far more potent than smoking cannabis flower. For centuries, hash has been celebrated for its potency and almost hallucinogenic effects.
Bubble Hash: A Modern Twist on Traditional Hash
Bubble hash, named for the bubbles it forms when smoked, is a newer method of producing cannabis concentrates. Also known as “ice water hash,” it’s created using cold water and gravity to produce a highly refined extract. Fresh or frozen cannabis buds are submerged in ice water, freezing the trichomes, which are then agitated to separate the resin from the plant matter.
The ice water used in bubble hash production isn’t considered a solvent since it doesn’t dissolve the trichome resin. Instead, the trichomes are suspended in water, making them easier to harvest. After collection, they are filtered through a series of fine screen bags and then dehydrated, resulting in a strong, sandy concentrate.
The Unique Qualities of Bubble Hash and Live Resin
Bubble hash is often compared to live resin, another popular cannabis concentrate. Both products are “live,” meaning they are made from fresh or frozen weed rather than cured and dried buds. This process allows bubble hash to retain a fuller terpene profile, preserving the nuanced flavors, aromas, and effects that distinguish it from other cannabis concentrates.
Bubble hash is rated on a 1 to 6-star scale based on how cleanly it melts when heated. The more it melts, the fewer impurities it contains. A 6-star rating indicates full-melt bubble hash, the highest quality and most refined variety. Lower star ratings, like 1 to 2 stars, are considered cooking-grade hash, while 3 to 4 stars fall into the half-melt category. The ice water extraction method is ideal for achieving full-melt hash, which is perfect for dabbing.
