Temple Balls: Everything You Need To Know

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. These mighty balls throw it back to the golden era of hashish—they’re glistening, hand-rolled gems that are far beyond your average concentrates.

Let’s dig into what makes these classics a timeless favorite and how to smoke a temple ball the right (and wrong) way.

Temple balls, also known as temple ball hashish, have been crafted in the mountainous regions of Nepal for thousands of years.

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

Made from the resin of cannabis plants, temple balls are carefully hand-rolled into smooth, shiny, and sticky spheres. Temple balls are high in THC, and depending on the strain of flower used to make them, can contain between 55%-80% THC. They glow with a rich, dark greenish brown, and they taste earthy, spicy, and just sweet enough to make you want to lean in for another whiff.

In the Himalayas, these iconic creations have long been more than just cannabis; they’ve been sacred offerings in spiritual ceremonies, carrying a sense of ritual and reverence. Of course, for others, they’re simply a fantastic way to unwind and connect with good vibes.

The secret to their allure lies in the traditional hand-rolling process. Unlike more modern concentrate methods, this time-honored technique preserves the terpenes and cannabinoids, ensuring a smooth, powerful, and long-lasting high that feels as pure as it gets.

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.

From here, you can either:

1. Place the temple ball piece directly into your bowl (having a mesh screen here can help make sure the temple ball piece doesn’t fall right into your pipe or bong)
2. For a smoother burn, mix the temple ball hash with some ground cannabis flower. Place the flower in your bowl first, then the temple ball piece right on top.

Light on up as usual and get ready for one of the strongest rips ever.

To get started, warm up a small piece of your temple ball until it’s pliable, then roll it into a thin, worm-like shape.

Next, prepare your joint as you normally would, but hold off on rolling it up just yet. Lay the temple ball “worm” directly on top of your ground flower in the joint. If you’d like, you can sprinkle a bit more flower over the temple ball for an extra layer of goodness—or simply roll it up as is.

Once it’s ready, light up and enjoy the smooth, concentrated magic in every puff.

Need to know how to use temple ball hash without smoking it?

There are various methods you can use to still enjoy one of those beauties 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.

A temple ball hash high is an experience all its own—smooth, rich, and deeply relaxing.

Thanks to the old-school hand-rolling process that locks in all those glorious terpenes and cannabinoids, the effects are not just strong—they’re downright elegant.

Here’s what you might feel from a temple ball hash high:

• A strong wave of euphoria
• Deep stress relief
• A noticeable mood boost
• Long-lasting effects
• A calming physical sensation
• An intense and clear mental high

Like most concentrates, temple balls aren’t exactly made for the infrequent smoker looking to get high (or the healthiest way to smoke weed). They’re incredibly strong (remember, THC levels can reach up to 80%), so be careful if using temple balls.

Temple balls are a traditional cannabis concentrate made from hand-rolled cannabis resin, known for their rich terpene profile and high THC content—often ranging between 50-80%.

With their rich flavor, powerful effects, and handcrafted appeal, they’re the ultimate choice for anyone ready to take their cannabis game up a notch. That said, these little spheres of magic aren’t for the faint of heart. If you’re not ready for a high that hits like a cozy freight train, proceed with caution.

For the seasoned stoner, temple balls are a standout treat that could easily earn a spot in your stash.
