Kiefbola is a blanket term used for the sensation felt a few minutes after smoking a bowl full of kief. Symptoms vary from person to person, but share some similar symptoms to the Sub-Saharan African Ebola virus. Kiefbola holds no intrinsically negative connotation, so it could be used to describe the euphoric feeling of smoking a bowl of kief as well.
Originates from the Moroccan Arabic word “Kif,” which when translated means
joy/pleasure. Kief refers to the
pure and
clean collection of
loose cannabis trichomes, which are accumulated by being sifted from cannabis flowers or buds with a mesh screen or sieve.
Like some other cannabis concentrates, it contains a much higher concentration of
THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids than that of the cannabis flower from which it is derived. Since it contains a higher level of
THC, many consumers choose to add collected kief to their cannabis for a more intense "high"; by the same token, this preparation
may induce unwelcome levels of intoxication. The -bola suffix can be traced to the Ebola virus, which is a hemorrhagic fever first discovered in 1976 in a village near the
Ebola river, some common
Ebola symptoms are red eyes, sore throat, and cough.
Person A: “that
bowl of kief was pretty fat man are you okay?”
Person B: stares blankly at the
television for a few uncomfortable seconds
Person B: “yeah man you’re right I think I got a pretty big case of kiefbola tonight.”
Person A: “hell yeah
dude”
