Solventless extraction methods are as old as the tradition of Cannabis consumption itself. The first form of Cannabis concentrate, charas, was hash that was removed from one's hands after harvesting the plant. Today’s techniques are far more sophisticated, but still utilize very basic principles to create flavorful and potent Cannabis extracts. The two most popular styles of solventless concentrates are the old school bubble hash, which is primarily used as a bowl topper, and hash rosin, which has skyrocketed in popularity over the last year.

TROPSANTOS 70-119U ICE MELTS By Cold Creek Extracts Ultra high end bubble hash takes love and time, and this delectable ice melt is full of orangeycookies-fuel that is sour, sweet and funky all at the same time. Bold and beautiful in hash form, this heavy resin producing strain is a cross of GMO x Tropicanna Cookies with genetics coming from a Washington hash maker, grown from soil for oil in Alaska. This super fine bubble hash consists of trichome heads, and can be consumed via a low temp banger dab or in a hash pipe with a screen, delivering a sour-orangeade-GMO vapor that is thicker than traditional dabs, but exceptionally clean – exhaling with a rush of stoney euphoria to the frontal lobes.

ICE CREAM CAKE KIEF ROSIN By Scorpion Grass Fresh squished into icing flavored cookies, this Ice Cream Cake has bright lemon-earthy-zest flavors that get the mouth watering pre-dab, which melts sensuously into a clean, solventless vapor that intoxicates the mind while relaxing the body in a “have your cake and eat it too” perfect dab.

DISTILLATE Distillate is distilled Cannabis, usually in oil form, that has been stripped of waxes, lipids, chlorophyll and other compounds in order to concentrate a single cannabinoid, usually THC or CBD.
