The modern weed world features creations of our wildest dreams. Amid the dancing laser bongs and hash holes, it can be easy to forget the classics. Before recreational dispensaries on every corner stocked novel product combinations, people were left to use their ingenuity. This led to interesting packed bowls using various materials like flower, bubble hash, full-melt hash, and tobacco.
These special offerings are easy to recreate. Those who don’t have access to classic hash can replace it with readily available concentrates.

Hash hat
Bubble hash left the trends list a decade ago, but industry leaders believe it could make a comeback this year. In a hash hat, the malleable cannabis concentrate is squished into a small, thin disc that fits over the top of a flower-packed bowl.
To smoke this, hold the lighter above the bowl. Do not apply the fire to the hash. Instead, melt it with the residual heat of the flame. As this melts, hit the bowl lightly and slowly. Be careful not to suck the un-consumed hash through the bowl to the downstem. Hit it slow and low, cherrying it until every morsel has been enjoyed.
Time bomb
A Time Bomb is a fun hybrid joint and bowl. The blunt or joint is pushed into a bong bowl piece, and flower is packed around it.
Enjoy this by lighting the joint and pulling it through the bong until it becomes cherried. Once the cherry (or red burning core) reaches the bowl, the whole thing will ignite. It’s a ticking time bomb.
Parfait
Everybody loves layers. Cake, lasagna, and weed are arguably better with some layers. A parfait bowl requires round weed, kief, and full-melt hash. This grade of hashish disintegrates without leaving residue, and bubble hash melts a bit less clean.
Start plating the parfait with ground herb, filling the chamber a quarter of the way. Add kief and then full-melt hash, and repeat this again, filling any space left in the bowl. Burn this one slowly, pulling the piece lightly and barely applying the flame.

Moke bowl
The term Moke was prominent mostly in the ’00s in some European countries and Australia. A Moke bowl is half tobacco and half flower. Loose-leaf tobacco is on the bottom of the bowl, and it is topped with freshly ground herb.
The ratio of tobacco to weed is a personal preference. Some like a tiny bit of tobacco, while others enjoy the head rush of the combination. Use tobacco sparingly, as it can create a gnarly head rush.
Doctoring up a bowl of weed can be a fun addition to any sesh that will also drastically increase how intoxicating a toke can be. As such, enjoy responsibly. Smoke these bowls slowly and low, and make sure to warn friends about the upped potency. Being a mad scientist is fun when it turns into a wicked-good high.
