‘Dabbing:’ Dangerous New Drug Seized in Maryland "This is the crack of marijuana," one official quoted a user as saying of the concentrated butane hash oil.
Posted by Lisa Rossi (Editor) , September 19, 2013 at 02:41 PM
A drug that is gaining popularity on the West Coast is moving eastward and is expected to become more of a threat in Maryland, according to a state law enforcement official.
That drug, butane hash oil, is such a concentrated form of marijuana that users have been known to pass out while ingesting it, police said.
“It’s what’s described to me by one user, ‘This is the crack of marijuana,’” said Sgt Mike Conner, who works in the criminal enforcement division with the Maryland State Police. He said it is being seized in Maryland on state highways and through the mail system and "eventually it will come here" on a more widespread basis.
“It’s so potent. …. “It’s a popular way of people getting a very, very strong high,” he said.
He said police have also discovered butane hash oil, also known as “dabbing,” “honey,” “amber,” “wax” or “ear wax,” being shipped through the postal system to addresses in Maryland, though he said he was unable to specify exact locations. He said drug dealers and users don't know how to extract the powerful oil from marijuana, so they buy it and have it shipped to them.
He cited one traffic stop on I-95 this summer in Cecil County. Police said they seized the oil as well as electronic cigarettes in a vehicle in which passengers were traveling from Florida to New York for a concert.
Users ingest butane hash oil by heating up a piece of metal, like a titanium nail, possibly with a butane torch, and touching the hash oil to it. They then inhale the smoke created from the heat through a glass-smoking device, which, in some cases, can resemble a crack pipe, according to Conner.
“A puff of smoke is emitted, and then the user inhales the entire puff of super-concentrated smoke,” according to SFweekly.com
“It is dangerous,” Conner said. “People claim you can’t overdose on marijuana. In fact, you can. It’s so strong, they are passing out.”
Organizations dedicated to reducing drug use in teens say butane hash oil is gaining popularity because of its potency: It can contain as much at 90 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), compared to other strains of marijuana, which contained 25 percent. The drug is also easier to conceal and carry, according a report on ABC15news.com in Arizona.
Some users are as young as 11, ABC15news.com reported.
Conner said parents concerned about their teens using butane hash oil should be alert for these items:
- Butane torch
- A glass-type smoking device
- A titanium nail or other kind of nail with a burned substance on the end.

If my kid had a blow torch and and a piece of glass piping I'd be more worried he was smoking speed like a beast doing big ass hot rails, if they told me dad it's just for hash oil I'd be like ok good deal keep it that way. I'd be concerned over my kids doing hard shit just because I fucked my whole life up repeatedly as a result of H and Ice. Psychs,MDMA etc however when they are adults hell I would do it with them could be a great bonding experience.

That's some hard core maney breakdown of the science of dabbing. If it wasn't for their explanation I thought it was magic. I also didn't know bongs were crack pipes! I am learning loads today!

To be fair I have heard plenty of people call dabs "hippy crack" , but it was more in jest than to say it was actually like crack. It is because they are so delicious you want to do it again and again, but as one poster stated, smoke it like crack and you will be taking a long nap sho nuff

I've , been buying in clubs in California for years . The pipes do kinda resemble crack pipes. It is very powerfull but I think really good bud feels allot nicer. I got tired of dabbing. Shots pretty good in a dabudda vaporizer.

I can no longer get pissed off about this level of stupidity, all I can do is laugh about it. Wow, the crack of cannabis! I guess emergency rooms across the country better brace themselves for a wave of thc overdoses. What would an overdose of cannabinoids be like, laughing themselves to death?
-------------------- Rocks speak to me, and tell me this: The Hell Creek formation is a gigantic slab of rocks that covers several western states. It contains an account of the dinosaurs' demise. In the late Cretaceous period, the first Cannabis species appear, and soon after, all the non-bird dinosaurs disappeared. Obviously, marihuana killed the dinosaurs. That giant meteor that smacked the yucatan peninsula right afterwards, coincidence.

It's just another way for them to badmouth pot in general in an attempt to strengthen the anti-marijuana movement. Otherwise they'd never throw the word crack around. Just trying to puff it up to more than it is.

Yeah I think this "new" craze is hillarious, when Indian Sadhu holy men up in the Himalayas have been hand-rubbing live plants making charas for thousands of years. Oil, hashish, concentrates, etc... they're nothing new. Maybe just to authorities catching glamour-heads with torches and titanium attachments for bongs. Lol
