To put it simply, hash oils are concentrated extracts from cannabis plants that have high THC contents in them (70-90%). That is the reason hash oils are much more psychoactively potent compared to regular marijuana buds which can have a THC content of 22-25% at highest. Though there are references for hash oil consumption in the nineteenth century, the currently popular method of making hash oils using butane solvents was imported to the US from Afghanistan in the 1970s. Nowadays, hash oils are available in both liquid forms like butane honey oil or BHO, badder, distillate, wax or earwax, as well as solid forms such as shatter, crystalline, honeycomb, crumble wax, pull-and-snap. Due to their high potency, these different forms of hash oil are sold in smaller quantities and cost more than normal marijuana buds. However, as they have a very high THC content – sometimes even reaching up to 95% – you only need a very small amount of hash oil to get high.

How is hash oil extracted from cannabis plants?

Hash oil is extracted from the cannabis plants by using some type of solvents like butane, carbon dioxide or ethanol. The cannabis buds are crushed and diffused into the solvent, then heated and pressurized until the oil gets released from it. Butane extraction is the most popular and cheapest method of the three, but according to experts like A. C. Braddock, the CEO of a renowned extraction machinery making company, carbon dioxide extraction is much safer and produces less toxic than others.

Is hash oil safe?

Being a concentrated extract from the cannabis plants, the hash oils have unbelievably high THC content (sometimes as high as 95-99%), and are much more potent than normal marijuana flowers or other cannabinoid-derivative products. if you’re not careful enough, there is a possibility of overdosing. However, as Amanda Reiman, manager of cannabis law and policy in the Drug Policy Alliance, suggests, ‘There’s no risk of having a fatal overdose’ from the hash oils. The worst thing that can happen due to too much hash oil consumption is ‘somebody passing out from getting high’, she argues. In most of the cases, overdosing from hash oil will make you anxious, paranoid and overall a little uncomfortable. But that’s it; there is no risk of any long-lasting physiological danger whatsoever.

Best Way to Smoke Hash

One of the major benefits of hash oil is that you can use it in multiple ways. One of the most popular techniques of consuming hash oils is called ‘dabbing’. In this process, users use a titanium made or any other needle-like tool to dab a bit of thick, sticky hash oil and apply it to a special pipe or bong meant for the purpose. When the pipe is heated with a small blowtorch, the hash oil dab vaporizes and releases a thick smoke that is inhaled. Nowadays, there are vaporizer pens that use an in-built heating and combustion mechanism to produce the smoke. If you want a totally hassle-free experience, get a disposable vaporizer pen or one with a rechargeable hash oil cartridge from the local marijuana store and start smoking!

For those who don’t like smoking, there are other ways of consuming hash oil which is equally effective. There are edibles that use hash oil as an active ingredient. You can use hash oils to make delicious brownies and cookies at home. Remember that edibles work through ingestion, which means the hash oil will take time to work and the effects will be long-lasting. You can also use it as tinctures and topicals and apply them directly on your skin or in your favorite drinks.
