Safety with hash oil
Hash oil (also known as butane hash oil or BHO, dabs, wax, earwax, honey, honey oil or shatter) is a product created by extracting THC from the marijuana plant.
-
This product may contain up to 80 percent THC and is consumed by smoking, vaporizing, dabbing or adding to food.
-
Consuming this highly concentrated form of THC increases the risk of an unpredictable high and negative physical and emotional reactions.
-
Since dabbing only recently became relatively common, there’s no reliable information on long-term health effects.
-
Making hash oil using flammable liquids is extremely dangerous and illegal. It has resulted in explosions, severe burns and death. There are safer ways to make hash oil.
-
If you choose to use hash oil, we recommend buying it from a licensed marijuana retail store.
-
If you choose to make your own, consider using dry ice (CO2) or ice water. These methods reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
