Ice-o-lator

Ice-o-lator (also known as iceolator, ice hash or ice) is an extremely potent kind of hash. Ice-o-lator thanks it's potency to it's special production process involving extraction and sieving in ice-water. Precise THC content is always a bit of a guess, but ice is (together with hash-oil) one of the most pure THC and cannabinoid containing substances available for consumption.

Production Leafy material from the plant (usually, but not necessarily non-premium) is put in the freezer for about 15 minutes. After this, it is immediately soaked in ice-water at a tempurature just above freezing. It is stirred and let to rest alternately about 4 times. After this excess leafy material is extracted with a coarse sieve and the above teps repeated until desired amount of crystals are in the water. Finally the water is filtered through a fine sieve, the risidual dried and may be pressed together. The result is poreous (but possibly hard), dark brow powder or bars. The ice-o-lator will apear light brown or yellowish pale only, when (it is said) flowers of white variety plants are used, and the production proces has been carried out precisely and very proper. Although any ice will be purer and stronger than any conventional type of hashish, this pale variety might be considered the absolutely premium, divine summit of potency.

The production process is believed to be invented at the Mellow Yellow coffeeshop in Amsterdam, which normally has one or two varieties on the menu.

Smoking it It might be consumed the same way any hash is consumed. Because you only use very small quantities of it, it may be said that smoking it in a hash pipe could be a bit tedious. Ice is generally very poreous and crumbles easily, which makes it easy to smoke rolled with some tabacco.

The main active component in ice-o-lator is THC and smoking it will mostly give you a very stoned high. However, it is not uncommen for this stoned high to be accompanied by a strong, high buzz and making the user feel pretty silly.

This is a product for people looking for the limit. It's potency will amaze most smokers. If you want to try how silly things can get, this is something for you. However, it's high pricing and it's high potency doesn't make it many people's favourite. A lot of people will argue it is too potent for regular usage and that they don't feel like they are smoking a natural/herbal product.

Availability Availability is mainly limited to Amsterdam coffeeshops, which are authorized to sell it, and not all shops stock it. Generally, a touristy coffeeshop is more likely to stock it. Prices start of at double prices of normal high-potent hash and end way up on the scale. More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
