Collaborative concentrate highlights one of the most legendary strains in all of cannabis
The thing about writing and editing weed reviews is that people in this realm use bizarre words to describe smell and taste. For example, while you wouldn’t really want a sandwich or perfume that’s advertised as reeking like a gas can, in the world of cannabis, petroleum-y is among the highest commendations.
And so it is against that backdrop of strange but descriptive accolades that we tell readers about this new Chem D bubble hash which smells like feet and fumes. And that looks kind of like toe cheese, yet is far more appetizing than a Four Seasons buffet.
I’ve had bubble hash in many different colors and consistencies, but this is the gold standard. A western Mass collaboration between East Coast icon Chemdog’s Smash Hits and The Pass, it looks like pale beige movie dope and plaque buildup and breaks up smoother than Caribbean sand. I found that it burned especially well—like chocolate in a nonstick pan—when blended with flower in a bowl.
And then there is the flavor. No wheels were reinvented in the making of this melt, because none needed to be. This is the reliable kush-y Chem D octane that so many have come to adore, and it’s direct from the grower who put the strain on the map. As a kicker, this hash yield brightens the cultivar’s best qualities—from aromas that take over nostrils, to effects fit for facilitating the production of a feature film or simply passing out while watching movies on the couch.
Nearly a decade into legal cannabis in Massachusetts, I think many of us can agree that hash has hardly taken hold as old heads probably expected. Some companies have led the way with various approaches spanning temple balls to brick varieties—notably Erva, Fourteen Counties, and Local Roots with its Belushi Farms line. But after generations of having a reputation for delivering the most intense high of all, in 2025 hash is just another product on the shelf. And there’s not too much of it out there.
In short, you kind of have to know where to look for the best hash in Mass. So if you’re lucky enough to find this Smash and Pass collab on a menu, you’ll want to smash rather than pass.
