Parent Alert: What are Shatter, Dabs and BHO?

Butane Hash Oil Header 

 
"Scariest was the case of a young woman
 who was hospitalized from a near-fatal allergic reaction 
in which her throat closed up after smoking dabs."
 
-Animal New York ("Dabs: The World's Most Powerful and Sought After Weed Product)

 
What is "dabs?" 
 
Dabs, otherwise known as butane hash oil (BHO), is an extremely potent extract created by passing butane through high-grade marijuana. Following the evaporation of the butane, a thick oil or resin remains.  The oil is most commonly vaporized using a special water pipe known as a rig, although it can be consumed orally as well.  Hash oil use has recently increased and is quickly becoming a more popular method of use among adolescents. 
   
The resulting high is far stronger than that from marijuana, due to hash oil's very high levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).  While very strong strains of marijuana are around 25% THC, the 2009 United Nations "World Drug Report" states that hash oil can contain upwards of 60% THC.  Additional reports suggest that the THC content of hash oil can reach as high as 90%.
 
Even more concerning is the fact that butane, an extremely flammable and dangerous solvent, is used in the creation of butane hash oil.  A number of people have been injured in fires and explosions resulting from attempts to manufacture butane hash oil.  Additionally, there is risk of the final product having dangerous impurities due to the extraction methods and ingredients used.  Exposure to butane can cause numerous health problems, including neurotoxic effects.
 
It is crucial for parents to be aware of the increase in popularity of hash oil, and know what to look for.  Due to its concentrated form, hash oil is used in smaller amounts than marijuana and is much easier to conceal.  Hash oil can appear in various forms, be referred to by a number of different slang terms, and be manufactured using a variety of items.

"Among incidents related to its production and use
 were untrained cooks 'blowing themselves up' blasting 
butane in jury-rigged home labs, and 'overdoses,' which as 
with strong marijuana are not fatal but involve extreme discomfort 
to the point of freaking out for long periods of time."

  1. You can't overdose on pot. Of course butane is bad for you...... You inhale butane every time you light up with a lighter. The difference with hash is the butane is evaporated before you ever even light up, so there is no harmful effects from the butane. If you want to help people then I would suggest telling people the truth. You people are Nazis that wish to control the world. You are the reason America is being destroyed.

  2. BHO is awesome! Since coming across it, it has been far easier to smoke and keep from my folks. My parents, who drink lots of alcohol, coffee, and enjoy a steady lunch diet of McDonalds, can kiss my ass for being Hippocrates. Since smoking BHO, my grades have gone up, due to the fact my ADHD symptoms have subsided. I now am off ritalin as well, a powerful drug which is also abused by teens my age....Im sure you have a post on that evil drug prescribed to me by my Dr.

    If the government doesn't profit, its a bad drug...plain and simple. Your organization is a joke, and will crumble in the coming years, due to the fact it stands on nothing but scare tactics and 80s propaganda.

    Thanks,
