What is Bubble Hash and How do You Use it?

Bubble Hash is a very old and purest form of cannabis. The concept of bubble hash came around the early 1980s but it got its popularity of late. According to the historical data, Neville Schoenmakers invented the bubble hash technique.

The ice water extraction method was made popular by the Sahu Sam, Santacruz. It's called bubble hash as it creates bubbles while it's being smoked. This product is also known as full melt bubble hash and full melt ice water hash.

What is Bubble Hash

Before we further proceed with it, we must know what is Bubble Hash. Well, it's a concentration which is extracted from ice water. When millions of trichome glands pressed together then it takes the form of traditional hash. It's not been regarded as a very strong concentration but it consists of 30-60% THC.

How Bubble Hash is Made

Traditional Method

The initial procedures which were followed by Sadhu Sam is a few grams of cannabis, a bucket, a small paddle, a mesh filter, and cold water. These items were easily gettable so he used those to popularize the new form of marijuana.

Later on, came the idea of bubble bags. These bags were of different sizes and those were kept in buckets filled with ice water. Using the bags trichome heads fall through and sink to the bottom of the bucket. In this method, all the plant matters stay in the bubble bag and the trichomes get stored at the bottom of the bucket.

In the next stage, different filters get used to refine the trichomes. After all these, there are only golden or white trichome heads left in the bucket.

The last step is to dry the trichomes. Those could either be air-dried keeping those inside the bag or the trichomes could be placed and spread on to a fine micron screen to dry. It's required to keep these in the dark for around seven days to be completely dried. When becomes solid, the bubble hash is ready.

After it is ready, it can be stored inside a glass jar. Remember, it should be kept out of direct sunlight.

Modern Methods

Nowadays, bubble machines are there for bubble hash extraction. Now drying is done through advanced freeze dryers. The modern bubble hash machines have reduced the processing time and automated it. It is cost-friendly too.

The drying procedure is also advanced now. Costly freeze-drying machines are now used to dry a big quantity of bubble hash in a few hours. These dryers are fully automated and they maintain a high level of terpene content which increases scent and taste.

Procedures to Consume Bubble Hash

Vaping is a popular and modern way to consume cannabis through a handheld device.

In Dabbin, concentrated cannabis gets vaporized through an "oil rig".

Smoking is another easy and popular process. Bubble hash can be loaded into a pipe, into a bong's bowl or it could also be enjoyed in a joint or blunt.

Edible hash can be formed using oils like olive, coconut, almond, etc. As the hash gets heating, it becomes active. And one should be careful because it's hard to judge its strength as an edible.
