The Ultimate Hash Guide: Types, Potency, and How to Choose (2026)
From centuries-old Afghan traditions to modern full-melt techniques, hash is cannabis in its most concentrated traditional form. Here's everything you need to know about choosing the right hash.
What Is Hash?
Hash (hashish) is a cannabis concentrate made by separating trichomes — the resin glands containing cannabinoids and terpenes — from the plant material and compressing them. The result is a potent, flavourful concentrate that has been used for centuries across Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Unlike modern concentrates like shatter or live resin that use chemical solvents, traditional hash relies on mechanical separation through sieving, ice water extraction, or hand-rolling.
Types of Hash Available at Mohawk Medibles
Afghan Hash
Potency: 25-45% THC
Texture: Soft, pliable, dark exterior with lighter interior
Production: Traditional dry sift through silk screens, then hand-pressed with heat
Afghan hash represents centuries of craftsmanship. Our Afghan varieties include:
Moroccan Style Hash

Full melt is the pinnacle of hash making. "Full melt" means it melts completely on a heated surface with zero residue — indicating pure trichome heads with no plant material contamination. Our 24K Full Melt line includes 10+ varieties ranging from Death Bubba to Orange Zkittlez.
Temple Ball Hash
Potency: 35-50% THC
Texture: Smooth, dark, ball-shaped, slightly glossy

Our Nepalese Temple Ball and Chara Temple Coins follow traditional hand-rolling methods passed down through generations.

How to Consume Hash
1. In a Joint or Bowl
Crumble hash and mix with flower, or place a piece on top of a packed bowl. The hash adds potency and flavour complexity.
2. Hot Knives (Traditional)
Heat two butter knives on a stove element, press hash between them, and inhale the vapour. Old school but effective.
3. Vaporizer
Some vaporizers have concentrate settings suitable for hash. Full melt hash works particularly well in vaporizers.
4. Dabbing (Full Melt Only)
24K Full Melt hash can be dabbed like other concentrates. Lower temperature dabs (315-400°F) preserve the terpene profile.
Hash vs. Other Concentrates
