Researchers at Portland State University found benzene and other potentially cancer-causing chemicals in the vapor produced by butane hash oil, a cannabis extract.
Their study raises health concerns about dabbing, or vaporizing hash oil – a practice that is growing in popularity, especially in states that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana.
Dabbing is already controversial. The practice consists of placing a small amount of cannabis extract – a dab – on a heated surface and inhaling the resulting vapor. The practice has raised concerns because it produces extremely high levels of cannabinoids – the active ingredients in marijuana.
The process of making hash oil also is dangerous because it uses highly flammable and potentially explosive butane as a solvent to extract active ingredients from marijuana leaves and flowers. In July, two people in Portland, OR, died in an explosion and fire at a home where butane hash oil was being manufactured.
"Given the widespread legalization of marijuana in the USA, it is imperative to study the full toxicology of its consumption to guide future policy," said Rob Strongin, a Portland State professor who led the study. "The results of these studies clearly indicate that dabbing, while considered a form of vaporization, may in fact deliver significant amounts of toxins."

This is why I only smoke weed. I never trusted dab and shatter. You can pretty much taste the cancer when you smoke it.
DUDE
OMG WHY IM DYING SUCH AN HORRIBLE DEATH, WHY HAVE BECOME CRAZY?
To be hnest i could care less about junkie subhumans getting rekted, but their second hand smoke kills ways too many innocent people.

Do you smoke it every day, per chance?
I love these waste of money researchers telling us things we already know
Smoking in general is no good for your lungs, because the heat of the smoke burns 'em. I recommend a vapor bong.
It's like a virgin/chad meme. Pathetic attempt at bait
rosin is a cheap as fuck upsell. better off blasting nug run shatter with tic tac sized drop of distillate smeared on

Sage for anti-weed propaganda.

And there are dozens of ways to extract hash from cannibis.
To name a few (and very generalize methods of extraction)
Ice and pressure
Cold propane forces THC from the plant material.
Same as propane(and butane).
Force plant material between two hot irons.
And if you purge your hash properly, you won't end up with butane in it.
Seth Rogan is a fucking chode but that was before the weed did anything to him. That level of faggotry is bone deep, weed just released it a bit early.
California here, nobody in the industry makes butane hash oil anymore.
I'm not even of jewish ancesty, I have somewhat africanoid features, like a big nose, but not because of jews.
Life is unfair.
kill yourself, hippie faggot. All forms of marijuana is for liberal faggots.
You seem like a fellow toker so why would you bump this anti weed propaganda thread? They don't care about facts they are just crusty old men that feel left out of the developing drug culture. Don't waste your time with them.
Typical rebellious teenager post. I bet you're wearing a sweaty Che Guevara t-shirt in your government subsidized housing project.
Mostly just to reinforce the fact that Rogan is a worthless cuck and weed had little to do with it.
Also really baked off some distillate so I thought I'd stir the pot a little.

please kill yourselves asap
smoking is bad for you though, but second hand smoke is a red herring, especially with how rare it is to encounter
