▲ Smokey River’ s hand-rolled Hash Temple Balls is one of the newest products hitting dispensary shelves this month, even though it’ s an old Himalayan classic. It was all hands on deck, hand-rolling hash balls as a group effort at the Smokey River facility, where learning each other’ s crafts is a common routine. These 2g Hash Temple Balls have just finished three months of curing and are derived from various admired strains. The clear wrapper seen here helps the team see when they are cured just before they are placed in final packaging. See page 31 for a closer look at these Hash Temple Balls.
