History of Jamaican Hash
Jamaica has long been known for exporting high-quality cannabis and hash worldwide, including the famous Jamaican Gumball hash. Its distinctive red and orange color makes it a standout in the hash industry.
How It’s Made
Jamaican Gumball is named for its sticky, gum-like texture and vibrant red/orange hue. The hash is made during hot seasons when red hairs appear on the cannabis plants. This process can only occur in the warmer months, while Blue Gum hash, made in winter, is darker due to the lack of red hairs.
The Technique
Jamaica uses a unique hand-rubbing method, similar to the “Charas” technique from the Himalayas, where fresh cannabis flowers are rubbed to collect sticky THC resin. This process requires hours of labor to produce the characteristic Gumball hash.
Final Product
Jamaican Gumball is expensive to produce due to the time and effort involved. It has a sweet, piney taste with earthy notes, offering a smooth experience and a balanced high. The high provides a clean body effect with a potent head buzz, making it popular among global cannabis enthusiasts. Heating it makes the hash easier to handle.
