Let’s cut through the haze: not all hash is created equal. What used to be a crumbly mystery wrapped in cellophane is now a crystal-clear expression of cannabis at its finest. Welcome to the era of ice hash.
Ice hash (also known as bubble hash) is made using ice water to gently separate trichomes from cannabis flower. No solvents. No weird lab tricks. Just ice, water, agitation, and patience. The result? Trichome heads that are collected, sieved, dried, and pressed. That’s it. When done right, it produces a sandy, oily powder that melts like butter and smokes like silk.
But there are levels to this game. Hash is graded on a star system. A 1-star? Probably better off as compost. A 3-star might make a decent bowl topper. But a 6-star? That’s full melt. That’s gold. That’s connoisseur territory.
6-star ice hash is pure trichome heads, no plant matter, no bullshit. It bubbles away completely when dabbed, leaving no residue. It's the closest thing to smoking the plant's soul.
At Apotheca, we take this seriously. Our 6-star ice hash is sourced with care and processed with reverence. This isn’t for the casual gummy fan. This is for the terp chasers, the low-temp dabbers, the flower sommeliers who whisper to their jars at night.
Why should you care? Because this is the highest expression of the cannabis plant. And because once you’ve had full melt, there’s no going back.
