Frosted Hash Ball: Artisan Hash Meets Modern New York

Silly Nice Frosted Hash Ball is a 1-gram, hand-pressed artisan hash concentrate with 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and 5.7% terpenes — available at $50 in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide. If you've been searching for something that bridges old-school cannabis tradition with the standards of today's legal market, this is the product New York has been waiting for. It is not a vape cart. It is not a distillate. It is real hash — made by hand, made with intention, and made to honor a craft that predates most of us.

We are Silly Nice — a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, family-run cannabis brand based in Brooklyn, NYC. Our co-founders Shane Breen, a U.S. Army Veteran, and LeVar Thomas have been partners for over 25 years. We launched in March 2024 with a clear mission: deliver the most intentional, community-grounded cannabis products New York has ever seen. The Frosted Hash Ball is one of those products. And if you're 21 or older and you love cannabis that actually means something, this article is for you.

Hash is not new. It is arguably one of the oldest forms of concentrated cannabis on earth. For thousands of years, cultures across Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa developed hand-pressing and sieving techniques to collect the trichome-rich resin from cannabis plants. That resin — pressed and shaped — became hashish. What you get when you consume traditional hash is the plant's most concentrated essence: flavor, aroma, and potency bound together in a form that generations of cannabis lovers have respected and revered.

When the legal New York cannabis market launched, it was flooded — rightfully so — with innovation. Cartridges, diamonds, live resins, infused pre-rolls. All of it exciting. But somewhere in the rush toward the new, the traditional got left behind. We decided that wasn't good enough. We wanted to create a product that respected where cannabis came from while meeting the exact quality and lab-testing standards of 2024's licensed New York market. That's how the Frosted Hash Ball came to be. Not as a nostalgia act — as a genuine craft statement.

Hand-Pressed Means Exactly That

Every Frosted Hash Ball we produce is made by hand. No mechanical shortcuts. The process involves carefully working the resin to develop a consistent texture, building warmth and pressure gradually to achieve that classic outer frost — the crystallized trichome layer that gives this product its name. The result is a dense, aromatic ball that crumbles or slices cleanly and burns the way hash is supposed to burn: slow, even, and deeply flavorful. When you hold one, you can feel the craft. That's not marketing language. That's just the truth of what handmade means.

Let's talk about what's actually inside this product — because transparency is not optional for us. Our Frosted Hash Ball tests at 67.34% THC and 78.34% total cannabinoids. That's a full 11 percentage points of additional cannabinoid content beyond just the THC number — meaning there are other active compounds contributing to the experience. The terpene content sits at 5.7%, which is exceptionally high for a concentrate and directly responsible for the rich aromatic profile this product delivers. All results are independently verified. COAs are publicly available at sillynice.com/menu.

At $50 for one gram, the Frosted Hash Ball sits at the intersection of accessibility and premium quality. Compare that to what you'd have paid for under-tested, unregulated product in New York's gray market — and what you're actually getting here is a different category entirely. You know what you're buying. You know the potency. You know the terpene load. You know it was made by a licensed, compliant brand that cares about every gram that leaves our hands. That clarity has a value that goes beyond price.

Why Terpenes Matter More Than Most People Realize

The 5.7% terpene content in our Frosted Hash Ball is not a footnote — it's a headline. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinct flavors and scents, and they interact with cannabinoids in ways that shape the entire experience. A high terpene content in a concentrate means you are getting more of the full plant character — not just raw THC potency stripped of everything else. This is why our hash smells and tastes like something real, something alive. It's the difference between eating a tomato from a garden in Bed-Stuy versus one shipped in from nowhere in January.

One of the things we love about hash is its versatility. Our Frosted Hash Ball can be enjoyed in several ways, depending on your setup and preference. The most traditional method is crumbling a small amount into a bowl or on top of flower. The hash burns slowly and evenly, extending your session and layering richness onto whatever flower you're pairing it with. If you want to go purely hash, a small piece on its own in a clean bowl works beautifully — just use a lower flame and take it slow. Hash rewards patience.

For those who prefer a more modern approach, small amounts of hash can be used with a dab rig at lower temperatures to preserve the terpene profile and get the full aromatic experience the 5.7% terpene content promises. Whatever method you choose, start low and go slow — especially if you're newer to concentrates. The 67.34% THC level means this product is potent and built for adults who are intentional about their consumption. And please — after you enjoy this, stay home, stay safe. No driving, no operating machinery. This is for unwinding, not for getting behind the wheel.

Artisanal Hash

Frosted Hash Ball

New Yorkers who know their cannabis love to build a session. Our Frosted Hash Ball pairs exceptionally well with our Bubble Hash — 1g at $44, 53.32% THC, and a 6.2% terpene content that makes it one of our most aromatic solventless options. Crumbling a bit of both into a bowl creates a layered, full-spectrum experience that honors the entire trichome extraction process. You can also layer the Frosted Hash Ball on top of our Infused Flower (Papaya Wine) — 3.5g at $60, infused with live resin and THCa diamonds — for a session that's as complex and satisfying as a long evening in Prospect Park with nowhere to be.

We want to be direct about something: the cannabis industry in New York — and across the country — has a complicated racial history. For decades, Black and Brown communities bore the overwhelming weight of cannabis criminalization. Now that it's legal, it matters deeply to us who gets to build in this space and who gets to benefit. We are a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, LGBTQ+-owned business, and we are not here as a checkbox. We are here because we earned our place, we love this plant, and we believe our community deserves to be served by people who genuinely understand what they've been through.

Shane Breen served this country in the U.S. Army. LeVar Thomas has been his partner in life and business for over 25 years. We launched Silly Nice in March 2024 and grew to over 150 licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide in our first year — not through shortcuts, but through real relationships and real product quality. Every single thing we make — including the Frosted Hash Ball — reflects our commitment to proving that craft, community, and commerce can coexist without compromise. That is who we are. That is what you're buying when you choose us.

Small-Batch, Sustainably Packaged — Because It Has to Mean Something

We produce our Frosted Hash Ball in small batches — because handmade at scale is not actually handmade. Every batch gets its own dedicated attention, its own quality check, and its own independent lab verification before it ever reaches a dispensary shelf from the Bronx to Buffalo. Our packaging is sustainably designed because we believe our responsibility to New York includes our responsibility to the city's environment. We are a family-run business. This is not a corporation making decisions in a boardroom. This is two people who have built something together over 25 years, holding every decision to the standard of something we'd be proud to put our names on.

New York has always had a deep, underground relationship with hash. Anyone who came up in this city's cannabis culture — from Washington Heights to Flatbush, from Astoria to the South Bronx — knows what it meant to have real hash in the rotation. For years, accessing that quality legally was impossible. The licensed market changed that, but it took brands willing to do the work of making traditional products at a legal, tested standard to make it real. That's the gap we stepped into with the Frosted Hash Ball.

We also believe the future of cannabis in New York is not just about the highest THC number or the most technologically advanced extraction method. It's about full-spectrum experiences that respect the whole plant. That's why concentrates like our Frosted Hash Ball — with its substantial terpene content and its total cannabinoid profile well beyond just THC — represent a direction we're proud to champion. The market is maturing. The consumer is more educated than ever. And traditional craft, done right, has never felt more relevant.

The Role of Independent Lab Testing in Earning Your Trust

Every potency figure we cite — the 67.34% THC, the 78.34% total cannabinoids, the 5.7% terpenes — comes from independent third-party laboratory testing, not from us telling you what you want to hear. Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for all our products are publicly available at sillynice.com/menu. We put them there on purpose. An educated consumer is the best customer we could ask for, and we want you to be able to verify every claim we make before you spend a single dollar. That's not standard practice in this industry. It should be. For us, it is.

We are currently stocked in 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries across the state — from the five boroughs to upstate New York. Whether you're in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, or making your way through Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, or Buffalo, there is a licensed dispensary near you carrying our products. The Frosted Hash Ball at $50 per gram is available while supplies last — and because we run small batches, stock does move. If your dispensary is out, ask them to reorder. Your ask matters. It tells them what their customers want.

For adults 21 and over only — please consume responsibly, in compliance with New York State law, and in a safe environment where you can relax without any obligation to drive or operate machinery afterward. Cannabis affects everyone differently. Give yourself the time and space to understand how a product at this potency works for you before you adjust your consumption. We want you to have a great experience — and that starts with being smart about it.

Shane and LeVar built Silly Nice from the ground up with the conviction that New Yorkers deserve the best — and that the best doesn't have to mean the most expensive, the most complicated, or the most hyped.

We're proud to have you with us — now go find it at a dispensary near you and let it speak for itself.
