A Butane Honey Oil Lab, also known as a Butane Hash Oil Lab, is a process of BHO extraction. Butane honey oil is a marijuana extract that is heated with a butane torch until all the plant matter is burnt away, leaving a sticky, wax-like resin that contains a treasure trove of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other active compounds. There are two types of extraction systems used to make BHO: open-loop and closed-loop. Open-loop systems are only found in.

A Butane Honey Oil Lab uses butane, which is a flammable and odorless gas, to extract concentrated marijuana. By introducing butane into the extraction process, a very dangerous situation is created, and BHO labs are exploding and causing deaths, injuries, and property damage all around the country. BHO labs have their own unique set of officer safety hazards and investigative techniques.

It is important to note that inhaling pesticide, mold, and residual solvents can be harmful, although long-term studies have not been performed on the effects of long-term BHO consumption. Medicinal users, especially, should always purchase their medicine from licensed retailers, as regulations ensure there is testing throughout the plant’s life cycle.
