Kiefbola

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.
