Tips For The Best Use Of Your Hash

Hash is known as one of, if not the oldest form of cannabis concentrates. It has become increasingly popular for its versatility and easy consumption. You can smoke hash by adding it to your smokable herbs, vaporise it, or use it in a dab rig or bong. You can also use hash in your edibles and infusions since it is effective and easy to work with. Here are some tips for the best use of your hash!

Techniques For Smoking/Vaping Hash

Necessary items and steps you have to follow will greatly depend on your preferred method of smoking/vaping hash. Here are some of the best techniques and their accompanying steps:

Joints, Spliffs, Or Blunts

To use hash in a joint, spliff, or blunt, you will need:

• Hash
• Smokable herbs (like marijuana)
• Rolling paper or a blunt wrap
• A lighter or hemp wick

How To Use Hash In A Joint, Spliff, Or Blunt

1. Create a foundation – It can be difficult to get hash to burn, so you will need to add some flower to your mix for combustibility. Start the process by adding a thin layer of ground cannabis flower in the bottom of your wrap or rolling paper.

2. Add your hash – Sprinkle your hash on top of your cannabis layer. You can make it easier to work with by shaping your hash chink into a thin cylinder and lay it down neatly.

3. Add some more cannabis – Cover your hash with another layer of cannabis to make sure that it will light.

4. Roll your joint – Roll the spliff, joint, or blunt just as you normally would.

5. Light up – Now that your spliff, joint, or blunt is rolled, you can get ready to smoke. Be sure to keep an eye on how much you smoke, as hash will make the mix much stronger.

Bowls, Bongs, Spoon Pipes, Or Bubblers

You will need the following to smoke hash in a bowl, bong, spoon pipe, or bubbler:

• Hash
• Ground marijuana / metal screen
• The pipe of your choice
• A high-powered lighter or hemp wick

How To Use Hash In A Bowl, Bong, Spoon Pipe, Or Bubbler

1. Pack your bowl – Place a thin layer of cannabis in the bottom of your pipe/bowl, or place a metal screen below. This will ensure that your hash burns evenly instead of melting and just slipping through to the bottom of the pipe/bowl.

2. Add your hash – Place a small chunk of hash on top of the flower or metal screen.

3. Smoke away – Go ahead and smoke your bong or pipe as you usually would. You may have some trouble getting the hash burnt if you are using a normal lighter, so try something with a little more power.

Vaporizers Or Dab Rigs

When using hash in vaporizers or dab rigs, you will need:

• Hash
• Vaporizer or dab rig
• A blow torch or e-nail (when using a dab rig)

How To Use Hash In A Vaporizer Or Dab Rig

1. Make sure your hash will melt – To vape or dab hash effectively, you have to make sure that it melts well. The only way to see if your hash melts in your vaporizer or dab rig, is to test it out. If you find that your hash is not responding, you can easily turn the hash into rosin. 

2. Turn your hash into rosin – If your hash does not melt, you will need to turn it into rosin. Place your hash between two layers of wax paper and sandwich it in. Heat up a hair straightener, place the wax paper in it, and squeeze. The added pressure and heat will successfully press your hash into rosin, which is much easier to use in a vaporizer or dab rig.

3. Vaporise your hash – If you are going to use a vaporizer, make sure that it is equipped to handle concentrates. Once you are sure your device can handle concentrates, add your hash to the chamber and set the temperature between 175 °C and 230 °C. Fire up your device and inhale through the mouthpiece, whip, or balloon once it is ready. If your device does not accommodate concentrates, you can check if it allows for a concentrate adapter.

4. Dab your hash – When dabbing your hash, add water into your chamber. Use your blow torch or e-nail to get the banger up to a temperature between 175 °C and 230 °C. Once it is heated up, use your dabber to place the hash onto the banger. It is recommended to place a carb cap over the banger before you start drawing, then you can remove it and inhale the vapour.

Hot Knives

In order to use hash with the hot knives’ method, you will need:

• Hash
• Two metal knives
• A hot stove or blow torch
• A plastic water bottle cut in half

How To Use Hash With The Hot Knives Method

1. Make yourself a mouthpiece – Cut a plastic water bottle in half. You can throw away the bottom piece, but keep the top half for a mouthpiece.

2. Heat the knives – Place your two knives on a heated stovetop or heat them up with a blowtorch. You should heat them up until they start to glow red.

3. Add the hash – Let your knives cool down slightly. Place the mouthpiece between your lips. Put a small chunk of hash on one of the hot knives and press the other knife on top.

4. Inhale – Once your hash is pressed between the knives, it should immediately start emitting smoke. Use the mouthpiece to inhale all the smoke and try to let as little as possible escape. 

Why Do People Like Smoking Hash?

People love smoking hash since it is a quite easy to find concentrate that gives consumers a much more potent high than smoking cannabis. Hash is also very versatile to work with, allowing for multiple methods of consumption.

Cooking With Hash

Cooking with hash has been gaining popularity since you can gauge the dosage much more accurately than you can when cooking with flowers. Many people also prefer the flavour of hash above cannabis plants. Dishes that are infused with hash have a rich earthy flavour, whereas full-plant edibles have a grassy flavour.

Since hash is classed as a homogenous mixture, it has the ability to spread THC evenly throughout a dish. This also allows users to enjoy a longer high.

Cooking With Hash Vs. Cooking With Cannabis

There are some key differences between cooking with hash and cooking with cannabis:

When cooking with hash, you will need to decarboxylate it, just as you would do with regular cannabis flowers.

The Top Hash Edibles

You can make different kinds of hash edibles, ranging from drinks to desserts. You can make the same type of edibles with hash as you can with weed.

Hash Butter

Hash butter can be used in a variety of different dishes to incorporate some THC into your meals. It is perfect to use in any recipe that requires butter, making it especially suitable for baking. 

You can follow any cannabutter recipe to make hash butter, but be sure to use less hash, as it is much stronger than regular weed. Decarboxylated hash contains around 30% of THC, while decarboxylated cannabis only has around 14% of THC. To be safe, you can cut the recommended quantity in half for the same results. 

You should also keep in mind that that hash cooks at a faster rate than cannabis. When following a recipe, stick to the lower end of recommended temperatures and keep an eye on your hash until it turns golden brown.

Hash Tea

You can simply follow any recipe for cannabis tea to create hash tea if you substitute the weed-infused oil with hash oil or hash butter. Alternatively, you can use decarboxylated hash as is and simply stir it into your tea.

Hash Oil

Cannabis oil is very versatile, you can use it in baking recipes, mix it in shakes, drizzle it over salads, or use it to fry your food in. Make hash oil just as you would make cannabis oil, simply substitute the weed with hash.

If you are making a recipe that has little to no fat, keep in mind that THC needs a form of fat to metabolise properly. If your dish is fat free, you should have it with another dish or drink that includes some fat content, like a glass of milk or coffee with cream.

Hash is an extremely versatile concentrate that can give you a more potent and longer lasting high. This counts for smoking and vaping hash, as well as having meals that have been infused. If you are looking for a concentrate that is easy to use and effective, hash is the way to go. Just remember to make sure that you keep an eye on the amount of hash you smoke or consume, since it has a higher THC content than regular cannabis.
