Frosted Hash Ball: Artisanal Hash in New York's Cannabis

Silly Nice's Frosted Hash Ball is 1 gram of handmade, artisanal hand-pressed hash testing at 67.34% THC, 78.34% total cannabinoids, and a remarkable 5.7% terpene content — priced at $50 and available at 150+ licensed New York adult-use dispensaries statewide. If you've been searching for traditional hash that actually honors the craft, this is it. We make it by hand, in small batches, with the kind of attention that mass production cannot replicate.

We are Shane Breen and LeVar Thomas — Army Veteran, Brooklyn native, and a partner I've trusted for 25 years. When we launched Silly Nice in March 2024, we made a promise to New York: we would bring products built on real knowledge, real technique, and real love for this plant. The Frosted Hash Ball is that promise pressed into a perfect sphere. It isn't a trend. It's a tradition we refused to let die in a market flooded with carts and gummies.

The Numbers Behind the Craft

We know our community respects facts, so let's be direct. At 67.34% THC and 78.34% total cannabinoids, the Frosted Hash Ball sits in a sweet spot — potent enough to satisfy experienced consumers, but complex enough that the experience is never one-dimensional. The 5.7% terpene content is what separates this from concentrates that just chase numbers. Terpenes are the soul of cannabis. They shape the character of the session. Every batch is independently lab-tested, and the COAs are live at sillynice.com/menu — always. No smoke, no mirrors, just data.

Hash has been around for centuries. Long before dispensaries existed on Flatbush Avenue or Broadway in Astoria, people across Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa were crafting pressed cannabis resin by hand — passing techniques down through generations the way you pass down a family recipe. It is one of the oldest cannabis preparations in human history, and yet in New York's new legal market, very few brands are doing it the right way.

We approach the Frosted Hash Ball the way a baker approaches sourdough — with patience, precision, and respect for the process. The resin is collected, worked by hand, and shaped into that iconic sphere. There is no solvent shortcut. There is no mechanical press running on a timer. Every Hash Ball reflects the hands that made it, and that human element is something you can actually taste in the session. As a Black-owned, Veteran-owned family business out of Brooklyn, we are not interested in shortcuts. We built this brand on discipline and we bring that same energy to every product we release.

Why Terpenes Matter More Than You Think

When we talk about the 5.7% terpene content in our Frosted Hash Ball, we are talking about the difference between a session that moves you and one that just gets you there. Terpenes like myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene interact with cannabinoids in ways that pure THC isolates simply cannot replicate. The result is a fuller, richer experience that adults 21 and older who know their cannabis immediately recognize. This is why we never chase THC percentage alone — the whole profile tells the real story.

In a city where people know what they want and have zero patience for anything less, we have watched New Yorkers take to the Frosted Hash Ball in some really beautiful ways. From Crown Heights to the East Village, from Flushing to Fort Greene, the Hash Ball is showing up in home sessions alongside a good vinyl record and nowhere to be. Adults are crumbling small amounts into a bowl, using a dab rig at lower temps to preserve flavor, or rolling a thin layer into a joint for a slow-burning, layered experience.

One thing we always say: take your time with the Hash Ball. This is not a race. It is not a product designed for maximum intoxication as fast as possible. It is designed for adults who want to settle in, be present, and enjoy something made with genuine care. Whether you are decompressing after a week in Midtown or enjoying a Sunday afternoon in Prospect Park, the Frosted Hash Ball may help adults relax and unwind in a way that feels earned, not forced. As always — plan your session responsibly, stay home, stay safe.

Artisanal Hash

Frosted Hash Ball

For those who love to build a layered session, our Frosted Hash Ball pairs beautifully with our Bubble Hash — 1g at 53.32% THC, 62.86% total cannabinoids, and 6.2% terpene content at $44. The Bubble Hash is made via ice-water solventless extraction and brings a slightly softer, more aromatic character that complements the denser profile of the Hash Ball. Together, they represent two expressions of the same philosophy: solventless, artisanal, and rooted in respect for the plant. You can explore the full range at sillynice.com/menu.

Here is something we need the community to understand: in New York's legal cannabis market, not all products are created equal, and not all brands are going to be honest with you about what is in the package. We are. Every single Silly Nice product — from the Frosted Hash Ball to our Diamond Powder at 86.24% THC to our 2G All-In-One Alaskan Thunder Fuck vape at 82.46% THC — has a Certificate of Analysis from an independent lab. Those COAs are public. They live at sillynice.com/menu. Walk into any of our 150+ licensed dispensary partners, grab a product, pull up the COA on your phone before you even open the package.

This level of transparency is not standard in the industry. We make it standard at Silly Nice because Shane knows what it means to be accountable — that value does not leave you when you take off the uniform. And as a family-run business that LeVar and I have built together over a quarter century of partnership, every product that leaves our hands carries our names on it. There is no corporate buffer between us and you. That is rare, and we do not take it lightly.

Sustainable Packaging — Because We Live Here Too

We are not going to build a brand in this city and then fill it with plastic waste. All Silly Nice products, including the Frosted Hash Ball, come in sustainably designed packaging. We are a Brooklyn business. We walk these streets. We breathe this air. Environmental accountability is not a marketing talking point for us — it is a reflection of who we are and where we come from. Building something beautiful means taking responsibility for the whole footprint.

New York's cannabis legalization story has a complicated history with the communities it was supposed to center. For decades, Black and Brown New Yorkers were disproportionately arrested, prosecuted, and locked up for cannabis — right here in the five boroughs, right here in the neighborhoods where dispensaries are now open and thriving. The promise of the MRTA was that those communities would lead the legal market. We are here to make sure that promise is not broken quietly.

When you purchase a Frosted Hash Ball from Silly Nice, you are not just buying a product. You are supporting a business that is actually from here. Shane served this country and came home to Brooklyn. We have been building together since before most cannabis startups knew what a terpene was. We are not investors who saw an opportunity. We are community members who decided that if this market was going to reflect us, we had to be in it — building it, shaping it, and setting a standard for what it looks like when craft and integrity meet.

Representation on the Dispensary Shelf

Being in 150+ licensed New York dispensaries statewide since launching in March 2024 means our products are visible — and visibility matters in this industry. Every time someone in Harlem, the Bronx, Jamaica Queens, or Bed-Stuy walks into a licensed dispensary and sees Silly Nice on the shelf, that is a signal. It says that a Black-owned, Veteran-owned, Brooklyn family business belongs here and can compete at the highest level. We are proud of that, and we are not done growing.

We did not launch Silly Nice to make average products for an average market. We launched it because New York deserves better — better quality, better transparency, better accountability, and better stories behind what ends up in the products they consume. The Frosted Hash Ball at 67.34% THC, 5.7% terpenes, and $50 a gram is our most direct statement of that belief. It is a product that required real skill to make. It is available to adults 21 and older at licensed dispensaries across this state. And it is ours — built from Brooklyn, made for New York.

If you have never experienced hand-pressed hash before, let the Frosted Hash Ball be your introduction. If you are a longtime hash enthusiast who got disappointed by the legal market's early offerings, let it be your return. And if you are someone who simply wants to support a brand that actually reflects the city you live in — we see you, we are grateful for you, and we made this for you. Head to sillynice.com/menu to see all our lab results and find a licensed dispensary near you. The ball is in your court.
