Bho Disasters (PLEASE READ!)

gaiusmarius-

Explosions are going to continue because those making BHO don't know how to do it. TSK.

I say, R.I.P. this topic.....close this sticky thread
Saw the news clip too(Denver), although it's happening everywhere......and shake my head. Let's give it a good burial and wake smoke.

 

[Crooked8]

I dunno, its up to you guys. Theres something to be said for having the most recent updates on how people failed here. I dont mind reading them, its sad and disappointing sure. There were some explosions that occured NOT indoors and i want every detail of those incidences. I think anything that can promote safety in our community should stay active.

 

[Gray Wolf]

i'm wondering if there is much point in continuing this thread. seems to me anyone who isn't warned off doing it inside by 18 pages of explosion reports, then they won't listen to 50 pages of said reports either. getting kind of sick of these explosion reports. this has completely put me off oil, even though i have not been a dab head even before the explosions started becoming nearly daily. now i'm glad i never got heavily in to it.

what do you say guys, shall we close this sticky thread? or do you wish to go on collecting these reports here?

Good question bro!

I've been impressed enough by the efforts of ICM members on this thread, in face of the "explosion of explosions", to consider copying it on our blog and give it even greater exposure.

It is no secret that it is going on, it is all over the news, so what is achieved by continuing to air it?

1.0 I would argue that the bigger deal we make out of it, the more likely a noobe will realize it is a big deal.

2.0 New news has more impact on noobes, whom are the ones most likely to benefit from it.

3.0 It should be clear to any detractors perusing IC Mag, that the practice is not only frowned on by the mainstream IC Mag community, but abhorred and demonized.

In none of the media articles I've read or watched, has any input been offered that suggests that the folks blasting indoors are pariah outlaw cowboys, rather than mainstream extractors.

4.0 Scale and perspective. It has shown us that the problem is a growing one, where if we just acknowledged they were going on and ignored them as stupid, we might not know that.

5.0 It highlights any new ways discovered to blow ourselves up, so that we stay knowledgeable on the state of the art of self immolation. For instance, I hadn't even considered inside a car with a 2 year old.

6.0 Noobes are more likely to learn and actually understand from us than our detractors, whom they know are full of shit and therefore ignore.

Those same authority figures already told them that if they played with them selves they would go blind and crazy, not have sexual intercourse outside marriage, and that marijuana was a Class III drug, with no medical benefits. You can see how that has played out............

My thoughts are that if we don't somehow educate both our members and the general public, and do all that we can to bring this thing under some semblance of control, that the control option will be exercised by others and we won't like the new laws that they come up with.

A perfect example of the few, wrecking things for the masses and a problem that mankind will always face as long as there is pathology in the populous.

Us'ns aren't likely to have much effect on the pathology, but we can educate and save the ignorant ones, and maybe not be painted with the same brush by as large a portion of the rest of our brothers and sisters.

PS: Consider that this is a simple minded unholy engineers perspective, and worse yet, one of the wolves. The same folks that brought you eye glasses, laser surgery, vibrating anatomically correct sex toys, and closed loop BHO extraction.

Please consult with your spiritual guide before accepting such an unholy perspective as gospel.

I think it is very important to display the latest chronicle of these horrors.
Fresh terrible news may stop potential candidates.
Certainly, it is a very unpleasant topic, but it is useful.

I direct readers here for powerful and live proof that the violation of the rules leads to tragic consequences, and very often they are truly awful.

 

[Crooked8]

I too have shown many this thread. Hell i started it bc you thought it was a good idea gaius! I dont think closing it has any benefit. I think keeping it open does.

 

[jump /injack]

I don't think that most people know the dangers of a butane explosion and how easy it is to have all your skin burned off. With a closed system and prudence the chance of an explosion is diminished considerably and the more information put forth showing the dangers the better off it will be for cannabis. Getting onto YouTube with a URL leading to this site or another site showing this information is getting in front of the curve, there will be a horrendous backlash if this continues with draconian laws that will feed the prison system with our friends.

 

[EsterEssence]

They need a pic of someone that burned up doing it on every can of butane they sell.

MYFOXNY.COM -
Hash oil has high potency and higher risk. Several people trying to produce the oil have been injured in explosions all around the country because butane, which is highly flammable, is used in the production process.
Fire and explosions rocked a neighborhood outside Los Angeles recently, critically injuring two young men. A similar blast destroyed a private home in Denver. And near Seattle four people were injured when a residential home's sliding glass door shattered.
Investigators say that in each case, people inside these homes were illegally trying to cook hash oil using butane gas to extract the oil from marijuana plants.
Drug treatment counselors say hash oil is highly toxic to the body. If users don't get critically burned or injured trying to make the hash oil some are smoking it using e-cigarettes. Instead of filling pens with nicotine they inhale highly concentrated hash oil.
The consequences for your body far worse doctors say then getting high from smoking pot.

http://www.chron.com/life/healthzon...losive-new-trend-in-marijuana-use-5343788.php

Experts are warning about the use and production of a potentially explosive and highly potent form of marijuana they say is on the rise in Houston after a group of teens were arrested with it earlier this month.
Hash oil is extracted from marijuana plants using highly flammable butane. Several people have been injured in explosions across the country as they tried to produce it.
Four teens and a 20-year-old allegedly had several grams of hash oil, over a pound of hydroponic marijuana, a shot gun and an assault rifle*when they were arrested in Spring*March 13.
Although the group was not producing it, officials said they fear it is only a matter of time before hash oil labs spring up in Houston.
Rehab centers are reporting its use is rapidly on the rise.
"We first began to see patients ... with a history of hash oil use in July 2013. Since that time, approximately 20 percent of the adolescents who have reported a history of marijuana use have also used THC concentrates or hash oil," said Vaughan Gilmore, staff social worker and addiction counsellor at Houston's Menninger Clinic.
High potency, high risks
Doctors at the clinic are concerned about hash oil's high potency, which is about 60 to 90 percent more than regular marijuana. It means users are at much greater risk of dependency and mental health problems, especially the young.
"Adolescents using it that have anxiety disorders or depression or a family history of mental illness — they would probably be more likely to experience side effects or complications with their mental health," said Gilmore.
The clinic reports that it is just those teens who are most likely to use it, with some openly admitting they use marijuana to control anxiety. Experts say this openness could be the result of pot's legalization in other states.
"We are seeing more of that in the youth as they see friends in other states and hear on the news about it being medically approved or medically legal*— it definitely affects their use and they can use that as an additional excuse for their using," said Gilmore.
Plus, the oil can be vaporized in newly popular e-cigarettes, which makes it particularly attractive to young people, according to Gilmore.
"Youth find them more attractive, they seem less dangerous. They don't have a smell associated them, so you can actually smoke marijuana in them and no one would know you were smoking it," Gilmore said.
Explosive trend
Detectives who arrested Matthew Mills, 20, Austin Raddohl, 17, Joseph O'Neill, 19, Mauricio Anteri Diaz, 17, and Sean Steinman, 19, in Spring earlier this month confirm that the hash oil discovery was one amid a rising trend.
"The special investigation unit report they have noticed an upswing in the prevelance of hash oil," said Mongomery County spokesman Brady Fitzgerald.
"It's not that hard to make and it can be dangerous ... unfortunately you can go on the internet and easily find out how to (extract) it," Fitzgerald said.
Videos show how most users soak plants in some kind of solvent, most commonly butane, which extracts the resin from the marijuana.
Countless recordings of extraction attempts that have gone wrong can be found. Videos show teens boiling highly flammable liquid on stovetops only to have it explode. One amateur can be heard screaming in a video, "the house is on fire."
Police on alert
The latest such case was Thursday in the city of Commerce, east of Los Angeles, where two people were hurt and a family home almost totally destroyed.
The Los Angeles Times reported that arson investigators determined the men had allegedly been operating a "butane honey oil extraction laboratory," in which marijuana is turned into "hash oil" or "honey oil."
In Colorado, police have started to track fires caused by butane hash oil production. Here in Houston, doctors at the Menninger Clinic report clients using it and making in it the Houston area.
Police say explosions like the ones seen in other parts of the country could easily happen here.
"The fear is that someone who doesn't know what they're doing can hurt themselves." Fitzgerald said.

Explosion linked to illegal marijuana lab, fire official says

The explosion that heavily damaged a Tewksbury residence Tuesday night was the result of an illegal lab where someone was using butane to extract THC from marijuana, according to the Tewksbury Fire Department.
“This was a very dangerous situation for the residents and the firefighters,’’ Tewksbury Fire Chief Michael Hazel said in a statement.
Hazel said that “the buildup of butane vapors within the apartment came in contact with an ignition source and an explosion ensued. The process was being performed on and around an electric stove within the apartment.’’
The explosion injured two men and a woman and caused an estimated $200,000 damage to the four unit residence at 22 Astle St., according to the department. The three injured people were taken by medical helicopter to Boston hospitals, and their condition this morning was not immediately available.
A second alarm was struck, and mutual aid responded to the scene from Billerica, while fire units from Wilmington and Andover responded for coverage, fire officials said.
A number of full and empty and butane cylinders were found at the scene, Hazel said.
The incident is under investigation by the Tewksbury fire and police, State Police troopers assigned to the office of State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan, and the State Police Bomb Squad.
The Drug Enforcement Administration describes THC as “ an hallucinogenic substance found in the cannabis plant’’

http://www.lowellsun.com/latestnews/ci_25422504/tewksbury-chief-explosion-drug-related

TEWKSBURY -- A preliminary investigation into an explosion and fire at a home on Astle Street Tuesday night "points to a marijuana THC extraction process using butane gas," the fire chief said Wednesday.
The buildup of butane vapors within the apartment was ignited, which caused the explosion, Chief Michael Hazel said. The extraction process was being performed on and around an electric stove, he said.
Numerous full and empty butane cylinders were found at the scene, according to the chief.
The explosion shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday sent three people, two men and a woman, to Boston hospitals with burn injuries. Police said late Tuesday night they were looking for two people who may have fled just before the explosion.
The explosion started a fire that required a two-alarm response from firefighters. Windows in the rear of the house were blown out by the blast. Damage to the home was estimated at $200,000.
Hazel said Wednesday that the extraction process and explosion created a dangerous environment for both residents and firefighters.
"It's a very unsafe situation when you're using butane fuel in a manner where it's not traditionally supposed to be used," he said.
Officials from the Tewksbury police and fire departments, state police and the office of the state fire marshal are still investigating. They have not yet determined what ignited the butane vapors.
Reports in Colorado -- which made recreational use of marijuana legal last year -- say explosions from marijuana THC extraction have become more common since pot was legalized.
"Between the amateur status and the volatile chemicals and the locations they're doing it, it's just a very deadly combination," Jim Schrant of the Drug Enforcement Agency told TV station KJCT in a report Tuesday.
The Denver Post reported that several house explosions in recent years were attributed to people making marijuana hash oil, which often includes use of dangerous chemicals.
"To make it, do-it-yourselfers typically pack marijuana into a slender pipe, then blow compressed butane gas through the pipe," according to the newspaper, which has created a pot-specific website and appointed its own marijuana editor. "The danger comes from the resulting butane fumes that float around the room. The less ventilated the space, the more dangerous it is."
A division of Colorado's Homeland Security office issued a bulletin last fall on the dangers of butane hash oil and risks for first responders. The warning cited two incidents in Colorado last year in which people were injured while making hash oil at home.
"Many first responders aren't familiar with hash oil production," the Colorado Information Analysis Center said. "When they come across the materials -- namely metal, glass or PVC piping that is capped -- they frequently mistake it for a pipe bomb."
The U.S. Fire Administration, a division of FEMA, also identified increased incidents of explosions from hash oil production early last year.
Hash oil is typically made by passing butane through a glass, metal or pipe filled with marijuana and crystallizes the resin, the Colorado center said. Without good ventilation, the vapors can build up and aren't easily detectable because they don't smell and don't dissipate quickly.
An open flame, static electricity or anything that can spark the gas can cause an explosion, according to the center.
Hash oil is a popular way to consume marijuana because it is potent, easily portable and is difficult to detect because it doesn't smell, the center said.
"In terms of its psychoactive effect, a drop or two of this liquid on a cigarette is equal to a single 'joint' of marijuana," according to a drug fact sheet by the Drug Enforcement Agency.
The house, which is divided into four apartments, has been deemed uninhabitable by the town's building department. The explosion and resulting blaze caused an estimated $200,000 in damages, Hazel said.
Hazel praised what he called a "fantastic job" done by the responding fire crews, the last of whom were on scene until after 1:30 a.m.
"When people are walking out injured like that and needing immediate attention in the middle of an active fire scene, it strains your resources," he said.

Seriously depresses me too bro, and has mah wolf sense hairs standing up on the back of my neck in apprehension and anticipation of a wide pendulum swing reaction to the growing carnage, from our detractors and the general public.

Time to start a public campaign ourselves, to make it clear to the general public, that it is pariah outlaws doing the damage, and not the general population of butane concentrate extractors. I will start that today on our site, and borrow heavily from this thread.

Thank all of ya'll who've posted data on it, and saved me hours of effort.

I will also reference this thread, as well as similar threads on other leading forums, so that it is clear that the assault against "BHOtardisim" is supported by the mainstream extractors.

Time to give new meaning to the epithet given to us by the folks who invented the word to taunt us, so hence forth Skunk Pharm Research will use the word to mean indoor blasters.

Lets join together on all of the forums members of this group pursues, and spread the international assault against "BHOtardisim!!!"

WIKI: BHOtardisim.

A mental deficiency leading the afflicted narcistic sociopath to discount all input from others and open extract using butane indoors, or in a hap hazard manner, so as to endanger themselves, other life, and property.

So incompetent as to be unaware of how incompetent they are, they actually believe themselves smarter than the gods, and have no compassion or concern for other life.

They are the repeat offender "drunken drivers" in the cannabis extraction netherworld.

3 men charged with arson for allegedly triggering explosion while making hash oil with butane gas


DENVER - Three men have been charged with arson after allegedly triggering an explosion and fire Sunday while making hash oil with butane gas.
Jeff Garbarek, 39, Steve Donnel, 39, and Scott Mitchell, 43, are each charged with one count of felony arson, said Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney's Office.
The men are accused of using butane fuel to make hash oil, a high potency extract of marijuana, in a Julian Street home in Denver, said Mark Watson, spokesman for the Denver Fire Department.
When the concoction exploded, one person suffered minor burns and was treated on scene, Watson said. Damage to the duplex was not significant, but windows were blown out.
The charges allege the men triggered the fiery blast, placing the owner of the next-door duplex at risk of serious injury.
Several explosions in Colorado and around the country have been caused by people trying to make hash oil with butane. Denver's fire department began tracking such marijuana-related fires on Jan. 1, when recreational sales of the drug became legal in Colorado.
Garbarek, Donnel and Mitchell are due in court on April 9 to be formally advised of the charges against them.

Second Residential Butane Hash Oil Explosion in Past Month


Updated: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 10:57:13 MST

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Grand Junction Police are investigating another explosion believed to have been caused by marijuana butane hash oil extraction.
**
Officers were initially dispatched to check on a home of 1736 *Roubideau Street Wednesday night. That’s when authorities discovered smoke as well as evidence of an explosion and a small fire.
**
Further investigation by GJPD found tools used to make marijuana butane hash oil extraction at the site of the explosion.
**
“The process itself isn't illegal, however we are investigating the possibility of fourth degree arson charges here because there was a person inside the residence where the explosion took place, as well as a person in the adjoining residence that could have been harmed by the explosion,” said GJPD information officer Kate Porras.
*
The person suspected of causing the explosion was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where he is being treated with unknown injuries.
**
The arson investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made at this point.

Denver duplex explosion just the latest hash-oil disaster in Colorado [Continued from above]

There was a whole lot of shaking going on in northwest Denver last Sunday, when an attempt to make hash oil exploded in a rental duplex in the 2900 block of Julian Street. Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey formally charged 40-year-old Jeff Garbarek, 39-year-old Steve Donnel and and 43-year-old Scott Mitchell with fourth-degree arson in connection with their cannabis-cooking incident; they are scheduled to appear in Denver County Court on April 9. In the meantime, hands off the butane! This was just the latest in a string of hash-oil disasters; keep reading for our top six.


This image and others pertaining to the Grand Junction explosion come courtesy of KREX-TV.
March 9, 2014

On Sunday night, according to the Grand Junction Police Department, emergency personnel rushed to the Monument Inn, a motel on the town's main drag of North Avenue, on a report of an explosion.
There, they found a small fire that needed extinguishing, plus two people injured badly enough to require hospitalization. One of the pair appeared to have burns on his body.


The presence of marijuana in the room quickly led investigators to the conclusion that the explosion had been caused by hash-oil making gone awry.

Here's the department's primer on hash oil and the inherent dangers of manufacturing it.
Marijuana butane hash oil is created by using butane to extract THC from marijuana to produce THC concentrate. THC is the chemical that creates the high for the user. Because of the flammable materials used there is a high risk of an explosion, especially when there's an ignition source nearby. Lit cigarettes, static electricity, and even light switches are a few examples of potential ignition sources, but there are a variety of others. We are aware from news reports of similar explosions happening recently in several cities across the country, including incidents on the Front Range of Colorado.

At this point, it'd be tough not to be aware of hash-oil explosions.

In the meantime, the GJPD is investigating the Monument Inn as possible arson, with other charges possible.
Continue for more about six recent hash-oil explosions, and why the process is so dangerous, including more photos.

Police in Grand Junction, Colorado investigate 2nd possible hash oil explosion this month
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
First Posted: March 28, 2014 - 11:15 am
Last Updated: March 28, 2014 - 11:15 am



GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado — Grand Junction police are investigating the second suspected hash oil explosion this month.

The Daily Sentinel (http://************/q6dmkenr ) reported Friday that after a neighbor noticed PVC pipe burning in a yard this week and found no one home, emergency personnel were called. They found smoke, a small fire and evidence a butane explosion had damaged walls. A man who lives at the home was later found injured at a hospital.

Earlier this month, police had reported an explosion linked to hash oil at a Grand Junction motel.

Hash oil is made by using butane to extract the psychoactive chemical THC from marijuana, producing a potent concentrate. Colorado and other states around the country have seen a rash of explosions linked to hash oil production in homes.

"It seems like a relatively recent trend of people who have figured out how to turn a plant into an explosive."
