Handcrafted Temple Ball is a type of hash made using a process that preserves the terpenes and cannabinoids that make cannabis so effective. It’s a unique alternative to modern hash products that are often processed through chemical extraction. This method relies on artisanal skill to create a product that’s rich in flavor, potent, and full of therapeutic potential.

In addition to preserving the quality and integrity of the cannabis resin, it also has a shorter shelf life than many modern concentrates, making it easier to find and store. Moreover, temple balls have been known to improve with age, just like a high-quality steak or wine.

To produce a temple ball, cannabis plant trichomes are collected and pressed together into a dense, solid sphere. This process, called “piattella hash,” is based on an old-style method of making hashashin. The process is more labor intensive than other methods such as bubble hash, ice water hash, or dry sift, but it offers superior clarity and purity of extract.

The result is a cannabis concentrate that can be used in all the same ways as other hash-based products, including smoking and dabbing. However, if you choose to smoke or vaporize, it’s best to start with a small amount. This is because it takes a while for THC-A to decarboxylate into psychoactive Delta-9 THC. Nevertheless, when smoked or vaporized, temple balls can deliver intense, fast-acting effects that include a sense of deep relaxation and euphoria.
