Temple ball hash is creating serious buzz amidst the cannabis community. But what is a temple ball? And how do you use them?

First and foremost, temple balls refer to a type of cannabis concentrate.

This article covers everything you need to know about temple balls, including how to smoke the iconic hash ball.

Temple Balls, also known as temple ball hashish, have been created in regions of Nepal for thousands of years.

Temple balls are also known as Nepalese temple balls or, simply, Nepal temple balls.

These temple balls are made from the resin of cannabis plants, which is carefully collected and hand-rolled into smooth, shiny, and sticky spheres. They are known for their rich, dark color and potent aroma, often described as earthy and spicy with hints of sweetness.

The traditional hand-rolling process preserves the terpenes and cannabinoids, resulting in a product that delivers a powerful, long-lasting high.

Here’s how to smoke that glorious temple ball in front of you:

Gently warm the temple ball in your hands to make it easier to work with. Then, use a small knife or your fingers and break off a piece.

Add the temple ball right to your bowl, roll it into a joint, or place into a vaporizer designed for concentrates. If you’re using a bowl, place a screen to prevent small pieces from falling through. Light up and enjoy.

Tip: For a smoother burn, mix the temple ball hash with some ground cannabis flower. This helps it burn more evenly and enhances the flavor and potency.

There are various methods you can use to still enjoy it just as much:

1. Edibles – You can infuse your temple ball hash into butter or oil to create yourself some potent edibles. Start by decarboxylating the hash and then mix it into your chosen fat. Use this infused butter or oil in your next baked goods recipe.
2. Topicals – Mix decarboxylated temple ball hash with carrier oil (like coconut or olive oil) and beeswax. This can be applied onto your skin for topical relief.
3. Tincture – Dissolve the temple ball in high-proof alcohol to make a potent tincture. This can be taken sublingually (under your tongue) for quick absorption or added to food and beverages.

While temple balls look like a lot of fun, they pack a real punch.

Like any concentrate, temple balls are not for the infrequent smoker looking to get high (or the healthiest way to smoke weed).

That being said, as concentrates continue to grow in popularity, expect to hear and even try them at some point. Temple balls are high in THC, and depending on the strain of flower used to make them, can contain between 55%-80% THC. That’s a whole lot of the good stuff!

They are quite sticky, making it a somewhat difficult concentrate to handle. Temple balls are best enjoyed in a glass pipe, or scattered on top of some flower in a joint. These smoking methods help to contain what can quickly become a sticky mess.

The world of temple balls is a bit elusive. While this is the case, a number of fantastic individuals from all over the world discuss, use, and instruct others on how to create this killer concentrate.
