Frosted Hash Ball: Artisan Hash in NY's Cannabis Market

If you've been searching for the best hand-pressed hash available in New York's licensed adult-use market, the Silly Nice Frosted Hash Ball is what you're looking for. It's a 1-gram artisanal hash ball, handmade in small batches, testing at 67.34% THC and 78.34% total cannabinoids, with a standout 5.7% terpene content — available at $50 across 150+ licensed dispensaries statewide. It is, without question, one of the most traditional yet technically precise cannabis concentrates on the New York market today.

We're Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas — partners for 25 years, rooted in Brooklyn, and founders of Silly Nice. We launched this brand in March 2024 because we believed New York deserved cannabis that was built with both cultural integrity and uncompromising quality. The Frosted Hash Ball is one of the clearest expressions of that belief. It bridges generations of hashmaking tradition with the rigorous standards of today's regulated market — and we're proud every single time someone in Crown Heights, Astoria, or the Bronx picks one up and feels the difference.

The Numbers Don't Lie: What 5.7% Terpenes Actually Means

Most people shopping for concentrates focus exclusively on THC percentages. We understand that — but terpene content is where the real story lives. Our Frosted Hash Ball carries 5.7% terpenes, which is exceptionally high for a hash product. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that shape the character, depth, and full-body experience of any cannabis product. A high terpene count in a hash ball means you're getting something closer to the whole-plant experience — complex, layered, and rich in a way that isolated distillates simply cannot replicate. Every batch is independently lab-tested, and COAs are always available at sillynice.com/menu.

Hash has been around for centuries. Long before pre-rolls, vapes, and concentrates filled the shelves of licensed dispensaries, hash was the concentrate — hand-pressed by artisans in Morocco, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and across South Asia. It traveled the world through trade routes, cultural exchange, and eventually found its way into the hands of people in cities just like ours. New York has always been a city of convergence, a place where the world's traditions get remixed and made new. Hash belongs here.

What's changed in today's legal New York market is the ability to apply the precision of modern cannabis science to these ancient methods. Traditional hand-pressing techniques are now combined with careful strain selection, controlled environments, and rigorous third-party testing. The result is something like our Frosted Hash Ball — a product that respects the past while meeting the standards of 2024 and beyond. For adults 21 and older in New York who grew up appreciating hash long before dispensaries existed, this is a homecoming. For those discovering it for the first time, it's an education.

Hand-Pressed, Not Mass-Produced: Why the Process Matters

There is no automation behind our Frosted Hash Ball. It is made by hand, in small batches, with intention. The pressing process applies heat and pressure to cannabis trichome material in a way that binds the natural waxes, resins, and oils into a cohesive, workable ball. This method preserves the full spectrum of the plant's compounds — including those 5.7% terpenes that define its character. When you hold a Frosted Hash Ball, you're holding something that a person made with care. That's not marketing language. That's the reality of how we operate as a small, family-run brand out of Brooklyn.

One of the things we love most about the Frosted Hash Ball is how flexible it is. Unlike some concentrates that require a specific rig or tool to enjoy, hash is approachable for a wide range of experience levels and consumption styles. You can crumble a small piece into a bowl of flower, roll it into a joint for an elevated smoke, or use it with a dab rig at lower temperatures to experience the full terpene profile without burning off the volatile aromatics. For adults who prefer a slower, more deliberate experience, the Frosted Hash Ball delivers in every format.

We always remind our community: know your tolerance, go at your own pace, and never drive or operate machinery after consuming cannabis. The Frosted Hash Ball at 67.34% THC is a serious, premium product — meant to be enjoyed responsibly, in the right setting, by adults 21 and older. Whether that's a quiet evening in Bed-Stuy, a weekend upstate, or a slow Sunday in Washington Heights, we want you to have the best possible experience with it.

Pairing Hash With Flower: The Classic Combination

One of our favorite recommendations for first-time hash users is to combine a small piece of the Frosted Hash Ball with quality flower in a bowl or a joint. The hash adds depth, extends the experience, and layers complexity on top of whatever strain you're already enjoying. If you want to take it even further, pair it with our Infused Flower — Papaya Wine — which is a 3.5g flower at 51.22% THC infused with live resin and THCa diamonds. That combination is, frankly, a full New York experience in the best possible way.

We didn't build Silly Nice to fill shelf space. We built it because we saw a gap — a market flooding with products that looked good on paper but felt disconnected from the communities that built cannabis culture in this city long before it was legal. As a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, family-run brand, we answer to our community first. Shane served in the U.S. Army. LeVar and Shane have been partners for 25 years. Everything we make carries the weight of that history and the responsibility that comes with it.

The Frosted Hash Ball exists because artisan hashmaking is a tradition worth preserving — and because New Yorkers who've known quality their whole lives deserve access to it inside a licensed, safe, regulated framework. We wanted to give people something they could trust completely: the quality of the product, the accuracy of the lab results, the integrity of the brand behind it. That's not a small thing. In an industry still finding its footing in New York, we take it seriously every single day.

Veteran-Owned Means Something to Us — and to Our Customers

Shane's service in the U.S. Army shaped the discipline and standards that run through every product we release. Military training instills an uncompromising standard for quality control, precision, and accountability — and those values live inside Silly Nice. When we say every batch is independently lab-tested and every COA is publicly available at sillynice.com/menu, that's not a talking point. That's a standard we hold ourselves to because our customers deserve nothing less. Veterans, families, longtime cannabis consumers, and first-time dispensary shoppers all deserve transparency. We provide it.

We've built a lineup that covers the full spectrum of what a premium cannabis brand should offer — from our ultra-refined Diamond Powder at 86.24% THC ($50 for 1g) to our approachable, terpene-rich Bubble Hash at 53.32% THC and 6.2% terpenes ($44 for 1g). The Frosted Hash Ball at 67.34% THC and 5.7% terpenes sits in the middle of that range — a perfect entry point for concentrate users who want something full-spectrum and artisanal without going straight to the highest-potency options on our menu.

For vape users, we offer the Pink Stardust 510 Vape at 81.96% THC ($40 for 1g) and the Alaskan Thunder Fuck 2G All-In-One at 82.46% THC ($80 for 2g, USB-C rechargeable). Every product is built on the same foundation: small-batch production, independent lab testing, sustainable packaging, and a direct connection to the community we serve across New York — from Brooklyn to Buffalo, from Harlem to Hempstead.

Solventless

Bubble Hash

We're often asked how the Frosted Hash Ball compares to our Bubble Hash. Here's the honest answer: both are exceptional, and both are solventless — meaning no chemical solvents are used in their production. The Bubble Hash ($44) is made using ice-water extraction, which isolates trichomes through agitation and cold temperature. It tests at 53.32% THC and carries a slightly higher terpene load at 6.2%. The Frosted Hash Ball ($50) uses traditional hand-pressing methods, tests at 67.34% THC, and brings 5.7% terpenes with a denser, more tactile form factor. Your choice between them really comes down to personal preference — both represent the best of what solventless cannabis can be.

We think that's worth every dollar.

Always Buy From Licensed Dispensaries — Here's Why It Matters

We know the gray and legacy markets are still very much part of New York's cannabis landscape. We're not here to judge anyone's history with that. But when you buy Silly Nice from a licensed dispensary, you're getting a product with a verified COA — a Certificate of Analysis from an independent lab that confirms every number on the label. No guessing, no mystery. For a concentrate like the Frosted Hash Ball, that transparency is non-negotiable. You should always know exactly what you're consuming. Licensed dispensaries are the only place that guarantee is real. Find one near you today.

We started Silly Nice to make a statement about what cannabis can look like when it's built by people from the community, for the community. The Frosted Hash Ball carries that statement in every gram. It's traditional in method, modern in standards, and deeply New York in spirit. It's the kind of product that could only exist because two people from Brooklyn decided the industry needed something better — and then went and built it.

For adults 21 and older who appreciate the craft behind their cannabis, who want to know where their product comes from and exactly what's in it, and who believe that supporting Black-owned and Veteran-owned businesses is how you vote with your dollar — the Frosted Hash Ball is for you. It may help you unwind after a long day in this city. It will definitely remind you that the best things are made by hand, with intention, by people who care. That's Silly Nice. That's us. And we're just getting started.
