How to Make Bubble Bag Hash
Hashish is a psychoactive marijuana by-product. With the exception of extracted THC, hashish is the most potent derivative of medical marijuana. Medical marijuana consumers purchase hashish to reduce pain, relieve anxiety and increase appetite.
Medical marijuana business proprietors commonly refine buds, leaves or the asunder parts of marijuana — a.k.a. “mash” or “shake” — with bubble bags to produce hashish. Making hash using bubble bags is popular because it is efficient. The bubble bag method captures the majority of the THC covering a plant.
A simple explanation of the bubble bag refining process is that cold temperatures crystallize the THC attached to plant matter when medical marijuana is mixed with ice-water. The combination is stirred and the crystals breaks off of the plant. The bags are drained and the perforations in the bags separate the THC from the majority of plant particulates leaving hashish. The hash is collected off the bottom of the bags and dried on screens.
The following is a list of containers, tools and ingredients required to make bubble bag hashish from medical marijuana:
1) 1 gallon of bucket volume per 400 grams of medical marijuana
2) 3 large plastic kitchen bags
3) Ice and water
4) 3 bubble bags with different sized perforations - one of each for example: 25 micron bag, 50 micron bag and a 75 micron bag
5) Stirring utensil or mechanism – a stirring stick or a drill with a drywall mixer both work
6) 2 sifting screens, one with small and one with large micron perforation: a 10 micron screen and a 5 micron screen, for example.
7) Kitchen spoon
A description of how to make bubble bag medical marijuana hashish:
Open a plastic bag and put it inside the bucket, the top of the bag peeled over the rim of the bucket. Place the bubble bag with the smallest perforations in the bucket over the plastic bag, again, the top of the bag peeled over the rim. Place the bag with the next smallest perforations inside the bucket, in the same fashion, and then the next bag.
Pour 1/4 gallon of water in the bucket for every gallon of bucket volume, one gallon of bucket volume for every 400 grams of medical marijuana you have. Dump in the medical marijuana. Add 1/2 gallon of ice for each gallon of bucket volume.
Stir the ingredients vigorously. Mix the concoction for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the mixture in circles and also stir from the bottom of the bucket up so the mixture is uniform. Stir and mix until there is a frothy foam at the top. Add ice whenever the water-to-ice ratio becomes more or less even. The temperature of the mixture is critical, very cold being the objective.
After the medical marijuana and ice-water mixture is whipped, stirred, beat and agitated sufficiently, allow the mixture to settle for 30 minutes. After the mixture has settled, lift up the bubble bag that is on top (the last one you put in the bucket before you added the ingredients) and hold it 6-inches above the bucket. Allow the bag to drain for 3 or 4 minutes. Shake the bag gently while it drains. Put the bubble bag — filled with ice and medical marijuana matter — in a plastic bag and set it aside for the second cycle.
Lift the next bag out of the bucket and hold it in position to drain in the same manner as the first bag you removed, for the same duration, gently shaking it. Look into the bag and shake it gently side to side until the glob of medical marijuana hashish coagulates into a single ball.
Lay a plastic bag on a work bench. Put the perforated screens on the bag. Scrape the ball of medical marijuana hashish out of the bag with a spoon and place it on the screen with the small perforations.
Lift the third bubble bag out of the bucket and drain it using the same technique and rolling the hashish into a globule. Again, remove the hash with a spoon. Put it on the screen with the large perforations.
Remove the plastic bag with the drained water and medical marijuana detritus from the bucket. Line the bucket with a new plastic bag. Reline the bucket with the bubble bags (DO NOT clean them prior). Make sure to put the bubble bags back in the bucket in the correct order — smallest perforations bag first, the bag with the ice and medical marijuana in the bucket last. Pour the plastic bag with water into the bucket and add more ice. Complete the entire process again. Once you cycle the water through a second time and place the globules on the screens, allow the hash to dry 48 hours.
