What is Butane Hash Oil (BHO)?
Butane Hash Oil, commonly abbreviated as BHO, is a potent cannabis concentrate produced using butane as a solvent. This concentrate is known for its high THC content.
Butane Hash Oil provides a powerful experience for users seeking more intense effects than traditional cannabis flowers. In this article, we’ll explain what BHO is, how it’s made, and how it’s used.
How is Butane Hash Oil (BHO) Made?
BHO is made by passing butane gas through dried cannabis plant material. This process dissolves the plant’s trichomes—the resin glands containing THC and other cannabinoids—into the butane. The mixture is then heated to evaporate the solvent, leaving behind an oily concentrate.
After extraction, BHO is usually further purified and purged to remove residual butane. Depending on the processing method, BHO can have different textures, such as wax, shatter, or budder. The final product is a highly concentrated substance rich in THC and other active compounds.
How is Butane Hash Oil (BHO) Used?
BHO is typically consumed via dabbing, a method where the concentrate is placed on a heated surface, and the vapors are inhaled using a dab rig. This method allows for rapid absorption of THC and other cannabinoids, resulting in an intense and almost immediate high.
BHO can also be used in specialized vaporizers designed for concentrates. It is less commonly smoked in joints or bowls due to its texture and high THC content. Beginners are advised to dose cautiously, as BHO is much stronger than traditional cannabis flowers.
When Should You Choose Butane Hash Oil (BHO)?
BHO is ideal for experienced cannabis users seeking a potent and fast-acting cannabis product. Its high THC content and the intensity of dabbing make it popular among those looking for the ultimate experience.
BHO provides a strong and long-lasting high, perfect for special occasions or when a more intense experience is desired.
