2022 was officially crowned “The Year of the Hash Hole” by High Times, and for good reason — this rosin-infused pre-roll format exploded from underground trap culture into the mainstream cannabis scene, redefining what it means to smoke premium.
🔥 What Is a Hash Hole?
A hash hole (aka rosin donut joint) is a pre-roll packed with top-shelf THCa flower wrapped around a molten core of solventless hash rosin. As it burns, the rosin melts into the flower, creating a donut-like ring of ash and delivering dab-level potency in joint form. Think of it like the Karamel Sutra Core of cannabis — flower on the outside, rosin in the middle.
🌍 Why 2022 Was the Breakout Year
According to High Times’ feature The Year of the Hash Hole:
- Hash holes became the status symbol of the 710 community.
- Brands like Fidels led the charge, coining the term and elevating the format from “donuts” to “hash holes”.
- Prices soared — some joints hit $100–$150+ — yet demand skyrocketed.
- Social media flooded with rosin melt shots, donut burns, and Kovac tip craftsmanship.
