What Is Bubble Hash? How It's Different From Other Concentrates
What is bubble hash? Learn about this powerful cannabis concentrate and how it differs from other types of hash and concentrates in general.
Hash (short for hashish) is one of the oldest forms of cannabis concentrates in the world. For centuries, it's been crafted by collecting the trichome heads — resinous glands that coat the cannabis plant — and compressing them to create a powerful smokeable product.
Since hash is very potent, it's best for experienced cannabis enthusiasts who want to experience an intense, perception-altering high. If that's you, some high-quality bubble hash (or another hash variety like Afghan hash or Moroccan Hash) might be perfect for you.
Below, we'll introduce you to bubble hash, one of the most potent products in the world of hemp, and walk you through how it compares to other cannabis concentrates. We'll also give you some tailored recommendations for hash that you can order from the Mood Shop.

Which Hash Should You Choose?
You already know that hash is made by pressing the trichomes of the cannabis plant together. What about bubble hash, though?
Bubble hash is hash made using an ice water extraction method. This method uses a combination of ice water and agitation to separate the trichomes from the rest of the cannabis plant material. It's sometimes called ice water hash because of this. However, some folks also refer to any high-quality hash as "bubble hash" because of the way it bubbles when heated.
Other hash-making processes call for lots of heat and pressure, which can sometimes change the flavor, aroma, and cannabinoid profile of the weed. With bubble hash, you get a solventless extraction that locks in those flavorful, aromatic terpenes and powerful cannabinoids for an incredible experience.
Like all cannabis concentrates, the process for making bubble hash can vary quite a bit depending on who's doing it. That means that quality can vary widely as well. Most cannabis enthusiasts look for full-melt bubble hash, which completely melts when it's dabbed or vaporized.
The process of making bubble hash starts with cannabis flower, ice, water, and special filtered containers called bubble bags.
Before making bubble hash, the cannabis plant gets frozen while it's fresh. Using fresh-frozen cannabis plant matter helps the trichomes break off from the rest of the plant more easily.
After it's frozen, the plant matter gets mixed with ice water, which further separates the trichome heads from the unwanted plant material.
Next, the mixture of ice water, trichomes, and plant matter passes through different-sized filter screens, which completely separates the trichomes.
The final product needs to be dried before it's ready, which gets rid of all moisture and gives the ice water hash its crumbly consistency.
Smoking bubble hash is an amazing experience, but it's far from your only option. There are quite a few different extraction processes that can lead to (in our humble opinion) an equally good hash.
Here are a few other types of hash you should know about before you start exploring the cannabis market:
This hash is made by sifting dried flower through fine mesh screens. The main difference between dry-sift hash and ice water extraction is simple: there's no water involved.
Making dry-sift hash is the old-school method, but it's still used today. Its purity, texture, and overall quality can depend on how it was made; the finer the screens used for filtration, the purer the hash will be.
This is also one of the oldest types of traditional hash, and it's made by rubbing dried flower together over filter screens. This by-hand method creates a soft cannabis concentrate that's easy to mold in your hands.
Moroccan hash is one of the best options for adding in while smoking flower — either to a bowl or a joint.
This newer hash extraction method is perfect for anyone who wants a unique cannabis experience. It's made using a tool called a rosin press, which compresses cannabis flower or kief to extract the sticky, potent resin inside. That resin has extremely high THC concentrations and can majorly increase the potency of a bowl or joint.
