BHO is a type of cannabis concentrate made using the chemical solvent butane.B HO extracts can be either hard and glass-like, soft and waxy, or a sticky, stretchy in-between.They may go by other names such as "honeycomb," "crumble," and "icing" because they can vary in appearance and texture.B HO is consumed via dabbing.
Butane solvent extract is used to produce butane hash oil.The butane separates cannabis compounds from the plant, resulting in a concentrated oil containing cannabinoids, and leaving undesirable plant material behind.The resulting oil may reach heights of 80-90% THC.
Butane hash oil can vary in appearance and color.It can range from a light gold to a dark amber color.Some B HO is hard and translucent, called "shatter," but it may also be soft and wax-like, hence the term "wax."
Dabbing is a method of consumption that involves flash vaporization using a specialized water pipe.BHO can be added to bowls of cannabis flower or used to enhance the potency of joints and blunts.
Butane is used to make cannabis extracts.A closed-loop system allows the butane to travel through cannabis plant material in contained chambers, preventing the solvent from entering the air.The butane separates marijuana's essential compounds and forms a potent oil that may be further refined.
Producing B HO at home is not recommended because butane can cause explosions.
Some people are wondering if it is safe to consume B HO.Every product on legal shelves must be tested for traces of butane to ensure that it has been adequately refined for purity and does not exceed the legal limit of residual solvent levels.
The most serious risk associated with B HO is not related to consumption, but rather production, which has been the cause of several explosions, some of which have been lethal.
The use of butane torches is a danger associated with B HO.The torches should be used with caution, or alternatively, you may consider investing in torch-free setups like e-nails.
