Bubble Magic: A Gentle Dive into Ice-Water Hash

Concentrates like hash are gaining popularity—especially the solvent-less type known as Ice-Water Hash (aka bubble hash).

What is ice-water hash? It’s a concentrate made by agitating frozen cannabis plant matter in ice water, so the resinous trichomes separate and are collected via mesh bags.

Why people like it:

• Retains more of the plant’s terpenes and flavor profile.

• Less solvent-based extraction—appealing to folks who prefer clean methods.

• Stronger than flower, but many users say the high is smooth.

How to use & store:

• Commonly dabbed, vaporized, or sprinkled on flower.

• Store in a cool, dry, dark place, fully dried before sealing.
