hash oil dangers?

anyone been hearing of hash oil dangers? im assuming extracts made from butane. my friends and i have been doing dabs of wax for about a year. we make it ourselves with 7x refined butane. we just torch a nail and use a glass rod with wax on the end. we never had any bad experiences other than a shit load of coughing if you dont take it easy enough. i was coughing for about 15-20 minutes my first hit because i misjudged how much to dab.

the other day another friend of mine says he will never do it again. he heard about some kid dying and this is probably bullshit but he said when the butane is boiling away and mixing with air it makes everything a completely different chemical. sounded like some stupid bullshit to me. i also seen this article of mysterious deaths http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1906&dat=19750130&id=CNkfAAAAIBAJ&sjid=N9kEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3080,1545105 my first guess before reading was they maybe took too big of a hit and maybe the smoke was too hot and caused their throat to scorch and maybe swell, suffocating them, but this doesnt seem to be the cause here. maybe it's just another refer madness type scare.

so what does everyone think? i still do about 3-5 dabs a day myself when i have it. normally i just like smoking/vaping weed though which never runs out.

I don't understand the method of ingestion at all. The only times I have had hash oil it has been painted on cigarettes and joints. Only a tiny bit blows you away.

Wow. Are you dabbing this?

Hardcore. How does it feel to consume?

*edit* Hight times article on the subject here

Fascinating stuff.

Ahahaha... what kind of bullshit is this? Let me get this straight... Your friend found some random newspaper article from 1975, becomes delusional, and decides not to hit the 'earl anymore or...?

In the article, it says they these three kids were smoking cigarettes "dipped in hash oil" which they had purchased from some unknown person. Who knows what else they were doing, exactly, but at some point in a car they went into convulsions. A couple of them died and the tests they had run up to that point hadn't resulted in anything explaining the deaths. At the end of the article the doctor says that in his opinion "carbon monoxide and hash oil were not significant factors" and that they all had ingested "a drug of an unknown type which caused a marked stimulation of the CNS and caused violent convulsions".

Of course, there certainly are a few 'dangers'... I mean the stuff is no joke. You could get seriously fuckin baked. Overindulging might cause you to turn white and pass out. This stuff can be habit forming, and tolerance develops with prolonged use.



It is really nice, though.

no actually it was a newspaper article i found. my friend just heard it from some hear-say bullshit on the street so i just did a google search and found this. this was just one example though, there are more articles. i just didnt bother to search. your not kidding, the stuff will get you fucking baked. just 1 does me in but i usually do about 3 before smoking a bowl. i dont worry about it myself but just wanted to see what everyone had to say here thats interested. my one friend that makes it does it like crazy and he's still alive. me other friend is just and old dude afraid of these new things us kids do these days. hes also one of those ppl that thinks stuff like acid is bad because it's not natural. not sure where all this getting stuck in trips and permanently fucking people up comes from. i've tripped many times and never had any of that bullshit happen to me or anyone i know. the only people i know to get stuck in trips are ppl that take a shit ton of hits and but they still go back to normal after a few days. never heard of anyone being fucked up permanently, must not be acid. maybe a sensitive individual may get some PTSD but they were probably all fucked up in the head since birth anyway and should not use certain drugs. sorry to change the subject.

lol how did the name earl come about?

i always hated the "it's not natural" argument. i tell those people try going in the woods and eat every berry and mushroom you see, it's natural. plus for medicine, synthetic insulin is far superior than natural insulin for diabetics. same argument with organic, although i normally always prefer organic, all it is is something made mainly of hydrogen and carbon atoms. at least in terms of organic chemistry. i know people that grow some killer shit that has great flavor using synthetic fertilizers. they just measure the ppms and know how much a certain strain can take.
