The 4th of July is not only our nations Independence Day but it’s also the anniversary of the first time I tried cannabis. There’s a nostalgic feeling I get this time of year, and it takes me back to some some of my favorite times enjoying cannabis. This post is going to show y’all how I smoked hash for the first time with my buddy Shawn’s mom Dixie back in the day. This is a neat trick to pull out at this year’s BBQ or just when you need to improvise.
Materials:
- Hash
- Safety pin
- Note card or piece of stiff paper (paper plate)
- A jar (one of our eighth jars) or a cup
- Lighter
Take a piece of hash and roll it into a small ball. This works best if you have a harder or dryer piece of hash. If you don’t have any hash, you can take some kief and roll it between your fingers until it gets warm and forms a little hash ball. Set this little friend to the side for now.
Poke the safety pin through the center of the piece of paper and try not to tear a large hole in it. What you’re doing is creating a seal that is going to trap the smoke inside the jar.
Take your safety pin and stab the piece of hash so it’s sitting sturdily on the tip. You want it on the pin securely so that it doesn’t melt and fall off when it gets heated up.
Take the safety pin with the hash on it and ignite it with the lighter. You don’t want to melt the hash off the lighter you just want it to be smoldering. So, blow out the flame as soon as you see it catch fire. It should be giving off smoke if done correctly.
As soon as you blow out the flame, the hash is going to start smoldering and smoking. It’s at this point that you want to quickly place the glass jar or cup over the top of the safety pin and paper.
- Use the note card or paper attached to the safety pin to trap the smoke that is being generated inside of the jar or cup.
Once the jar or cup is filled with milky smoke. Slightly lift the edge of the jar so it separates from the paper. Put your mouth up to the opening and quickly inhale the smoke. Once you get your hit, cover the opening with the piece of paper again and let the smoke fill back up.
You can do this repeatedly until the hash goes out or more likely burns away to ash.
I have no idea why she thought this was the best way to smoke it, but it worked.
Like I said, you can even do this with some pressed kief if you don’t have hash. So crack open that kief catcher and give this a try sometime.
Stay stoned and stay safe.
