What is CBD Hash?

Although it may be very rare and unknown to most people, CBD hash is also available on the market and can bring the full load of therapeutic benefits that CBD can provide by itself and more. CBD hash preserves all the plants’ terpenes and organic compounds, making you experience the popular synergistic effect that cannabinoids provide when they act simultaneously.

Hash is a pasty product made from the raw or purified resin or pollen of the cannabis plant. This cannabis concentrate will preserve all the cannabinoids and properties of the strain used to make the extraction. Hash is produced mainly by compressing the resinous glands of the cannabis plant called trichomes. These trichomes are compressed, obtaining a generally brown, green, transparent, black, yellowish, or reddish paste. However, the product’s final appearance will depend on the process used to make the concentrate, the variety of cannabis used to make the concentrate, and the remaining plant matter in the final product.

Hashish was initially known only for being high in THC content. But as we mentioned, hashish will preserve the plant’s features so, making CBD hashish from industrial hemp plants is entirely possible and way more accessible than you may imagine. The oldest and most popular ways to make hashish are rubbing the plant’s flowers when they are fresh or screening them when the material is dry. Nowadays, there are new methods to achieve a purer product, such as ice and water separations, with dry ice, static electricity, heat, pressure, or acoustic vibrations. The result is a concentrate highly rich in terpenes and cannabinoids.

Does CBD Hash Get you High?

A short answer to this question would be no. However, it depends on series of factors. CBD is known to have a wide range of therapeutic properties and medicinal effects on the human body and its overall health. This compound can help patients with depression, chronic anxiety and even help people with sleep problems.

CBD hashish, when prepared under the proper conditions, will not give you a high but will make you feel all the healing properties that this cannabinoid can bring by itself. Because it is a concentrate, you will need significantly less to start feeling the concentrate’s medicinal properties.

Nevertheless, CBD hash is not an isolate. It contains CBD and a whole load of terpenes and cannabinoids of the plant used to make the hash. As a result, CBD hash will also make you experience the famous entourage effect that can make the cannabinoids present in the hash perform better, creating a synergistic effect that facilitates the absorption and consequently the effects of cannabinoids in the body.

To ensure that your CBD hash has a THC ratio within the legal range, you should verify that your hash comes from industrial hemp with a THC content of 0.3% or less. Since some CBD hash can come from plants with a THC content greater than 0.3%, they can likely give you a high, so it is best always to confirm that your hash comes from industrial hemp approved by the 2018 Farm Bill.

Does CBD Hash Taste the Same as Regular Hashish?

This can be a tricky question to answer. Almost every batch of hashish will have something characteristic in its flavor. Most of the hash flavor comes from a combination of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, unique for every cannabis strain. Researchers directly linked the distinct flavor of hashish to a molecular restructuring of myrcene caused during the manufacturing process. Cannabinoids by themselves, such as CBD or THC, will just taste phenolic as they are phenol. But, they will not have a significant impact on the hashish final taste.

Can You Use CBD Oil to Make Hash?

A quick and resumed answer to this question is a simple no. But let’s unfold this a bit. Making cannabis extractions is the process of separating and extracting trichomes from the rest of the plant matter. Producing CBD concentrates is pretty similar to the process of creating its high THC content cousins. The difference is that you would use a high CBD content strain instead of a high THC one.

Although there are many similarities in many of the steps to follow in these products’ manufacturing processes, making CBD oil and CBD hash are two different processes that will result in different outcomes.

To make hashish, you would rub the cannabis flowers rich in CBD between clothes or a sieve to separate trichomes from the rest of the plant matter. You can use various processes to extract CBD oil from the rest of the plant matter in the cannabis flower, which separates the trichomes present in the plant and brings them to their oleic form. However, because hashish is a paste made from trichomes, it is possible to produce oil and a variety of concentrates from it.

What is CBD Hash Wax?

CBD wax consists of the resin glands or trichomes of a high CBD cannabis plant. The resin contains the essential oils, cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids of the plant. As a result, you have a powder-like substance pressed into solid bricks of hashish or directly into CBD wax by applying more pressure.

CBD wax is versatile, and you can use it in several ways. You can crumble it, smoke it in a wax pipe or a wax joint, vaporize it, or even cook with it. For cooking with CBD wax, you will have to decarboxylate it first. To do this, you just have to heat it in the oven at 110-115 ° C for 60 minutes. You can also follow the easy how to decarb hemp flower guide and apply the same steps to your CBD wax.

What is CBD Bubble Hash?

Like other types of hash, Bubble Hash is a cannabis concentrate made from the trichomes of cannabis buds. As we already explained, these trichomes produce and store the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids that we love so much about cannabis.

To make bubble hash, manufacturers use water and ice to separate the trichomes from the flower. The cannabis is put into ice bags called bubble bags and then shaken. This process freezes and breaks the resin glands off the flower. Therefore, this creates a powder that has the appearance of a lot of fine brownish to gold particles. This pile of trichomes is finally known as bubble hash.

How to Make CBD Bubble Hash

Materials

• 85 grams of your favorite high CBD strain.
• Two buckets of 4 or 19 liters each
• 4.5-7kg of ice
• Bubble bags
• Cheesecloth or micron press sieves
• Tool to stir the mixture
• Spoon

Directions

1. Freeze the buds overnight to save time and allow the trichomes to separate from the plant material. Make sure the area you are working in is cool as well.
2. Put some towels under the buckets and line one of them with the bubble bags. Start with the smallest or the one with the most microns and put the next in size on top. Continue until you have all the bags in the bucket.
3. Add the CBD-rich buds, followed by half an ice pack. Pour in eight cups of purified water and mix well.
4. Stir continuously (slowly and carefully) for 15 to 20 minutes, and let the mixture sit for another 20 to 30 minutes.
5. When you finish, remove the top bag and let the water drain through the bottom into the next bag. You can shake it a bit if you want, but avoid squeezing it.
6. Put the first bag in the second bucket and remove the second bag from the first bucket. Allow it to drain if necessary, and scrape up the material from the bottom with the spoon. Put this material on the cheesecloth. This is your first portion of bubble hash.
7. Repeat the process with the rest of the bags, scraping up the material and placing it on the cheesecloth. You will see that the hashish is becoming increasingly clear and with less plant material.
8. Once you have collected all the bubble hash, carefully fold the cheesecloth back on itself to get rid of any excess water.

Once you accomplish all steps, you will have your precious and well-deserved bubble hash in your hands. But even if it looks nice when it comes out of the bucket, you will need to dry your hash before smoking it.

In addition to doing it with cheesecloth, you should also place it on a piece of cardboard and store it in a cool, dry, and dark place. Wait for approximately a week or until it feels more solid. When you see that it has the right consistency, it will be ready to consume. Once dry, you can enjoy all the wonders and the great flavor of a good CBD bubble hash.
