His is among a growing number cases of hash oil explosions in Colorado, authorities said.
Since the state legalized recreational use of marijuana Jan. 1, there have been at least 31 explosions related to butane and hash oil, leaving at least 21 people injured, according to the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a regional law enforcement task force. Last year, the group recorded 11 explosions in Colorado. MOREHERE
Hash oil can be consumed in various ways, including dabbing, smoking, vaporization, or oral consumption (eating).[7]Typically, it is vaporized in what is known as an “oil rig”, a small water pipe designed for hash oil vaporization. The user takes a hand-held blowtorch (USA usage) / blowlamp (UK usage) and heats a titanium, quartz, borosilicate, or ceramicsurface until the surface, which can be a nail or a skillet, reaches the desired temperature indicated by a glowing orange hue. Recently, quartz and ceramic have been popular replacements for titanium. This is followed by placing a drop of hash oil, a process known as “dabbing”, on the hot surface with a glass or dental pick until it melts, boils, and vaporizes through the water pipe and into the user’s lungs.
