Here is where I will be collecting the many BHO explosions that are in the news. Enjoy the read, it should be worth a few laughs.

[h=1]Deputies interrupt amateur chemists[/h]Dec 26, 2011 - 03:22 PM
An improvised drug lab in a vacant lot in the Springs was broken up by a Sheriff’s deputy who intervened in an apparent attempt to manufacture hashish in a vacant lot in the 500 block of Baxter Avenue.
The deputy arrived on the scene at about 1:15 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 19, after an anonymous caller reported hearing noises, for about two hours, coming from two males wearing hoodies in the vacant lot.
As the deputy arrived, two hooded figures fled in different directions. The deputy chased one of them and found him hiding in some bushes on Liquid Amber Lane. When the deputy searched the young man’s backpack, she discovered three containers of butane, a piece of capped PVC pipe filled with marijuana, a lighter and three plastic containers with about 134 grams of marijuana, the equal of 4.7 ounces.
With the suspect under control, the deputy went back to the abandoned field and found a hammer, a metal bowl and another piece of capped PVC pipe. Her experience told her that the man and his now-vanished cohort were trying to manufacture hashish.
The man admitted to trying to make the illegal substance but the deputy interrupted the process.
The would-be hash-maker, Henry Morgan, 18, of Agua Caliente, was arrested and charged with felony manufacturing a controlled substance, felony committing a felony while on bail, possession of more than 28.5 grams of marijuana and resisting or obstructing arrest. Morgan was booked intio the county jail.

KALISPELL, Mont. -- Two Evergreen men accused of making hashish oil want their charges dismissed. Tyler and Matthew Shepard both took the witness stand in court on Tuesday.Both face charges of attempted manufacture of dangerous drugs.Court records say the two men were burned in a house fire after attempting to use a PVC pipe and butane to make hashish oil. Both men had valid medical marijuana cards.Under Montana state law, their plants were legal, but investigators say turning the marijuana into hashish is prohibited.Both cousins said they were not making hashish, or hashish oil, but rather a different, less potent oil."We were the taking a last little bit of our plant, which, by our understandings, was totally legal, and basically rendering it into a low parts per million amount of THC oil that you can infuse into cookies or suckers, which is what we were going to do," said Matthew Shepard.If convicted, the Shepards face up to ten years in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Man given probation for pot operation

By RYAN OLSON-Staff Writer
Posted: 01/20/2012 12:20:48 AM PST

OROVILLE — A man was placed on probation for two alleged commercial marijuana, hash, and marijuana refining lab operations on the Paradise ridge.On Thursday, Butte County Superior Court Judge Kristen Lucena gave John Brandon Sloane three years of probation, according to deputy district attorney Jeff Greeson. Sloane's probation includes a year in Butte County Jail.
Greeson said Sloane, 32, may also be released into a residential treatment program.
Sloane, reportedly from Georgia, had pleaded no contest in November to felony counts of cultivating marijuana and manufacturing a controlled substance other than PCP.
Felony counts of possessing pot for sale and transporting it were dismissed.
The prosecutor said outside of court that Sloane had faced a maximum sentence of eight to nine years for the two counts.
Defense attorney Michael Rooney said outside of court that probation was a just result.
He said Sloane had gotten caught up in the state's ongoing political battle over marijuana.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Unit arrested Sloane on Aug. 11, after searching a residence on the 4200 block of Pentz Road.
Deputies reportedly found 131 mature pot plants, 74 immature plants, 43 pounds of processed pot, two pounds of packaged keif hashish, and cash.
They had also discovered a lab for refining marijuana into honey oil and 6.5 ounces of honey oil.
Deputies later searched a Coutolenc Road residence and discovered another honey oil lab and a hashish extraction operation.They found 244 immature plants, 8.5 pounds of processed pot, 1.6 ounces of keif hash and 1.6 grams of honey oil.

[h=1]Fire leads to drug charges[/h][h=3]Small explosion and fire and Mitchell Street residence[/h][h=4]By PaTRICK BRENNAN TIMES-JOURNAL[/h][h=5]Updated 13 days ago[/h]
Around 10 p.m. Sunday, St Thomas Police attended a Mitchell Street residence regarding a reported explosion and fire. Police say 19-year-old tenant of an apartment unit within the building was using butane gas to extract oil from marijuana plants. This resulted in the ignition of flammable vapours and subsequent explosion and flash fire. The kitchen area of the apartment sustained minor fire damage. The tenant was treated at St. Thomas-Elgin General Hospital for burns to his hands. Police have charged the male with production of a controlled substance. He was held overnight at police headquarters pending a court appearance Monday. During the early morning hours of Monday, drug unit officers executed a search warrant at the apartment unit resulting in the seizure of several grams of marijuana and approximately 60 canisters of butane.

#1 story of 2011 according to Russ Bellville from the NORML network



Hotel explosion exposes danger of solvent-based marijuana hashish extraction

By "Radical" Russ Belville on August 25, 2011

Butane hash oil cannot kill you... but making it can! (photo:​
A Best Western hotel was rocked by an explosion in Newberg, Oregon this morning. According to reports fromour local FOX affiliate KPTV, around 3am the windows were blown out of a room as a man who suffered severe burns admitted he was “cooking hashish”. A woman and a 2-year-old were in the room at the time, but not severely injured.
“Cooking hashish” is not exactly the right terminology and, from a public relations standpoint, an unfortunate choice of words. The only drug the public associates with explosions and cooks until now is methamphetamine. What the man was probably doing is making a form of concentrated cannabis.


This isn’t exactly hashish, which usually a dried, pressed form of cannabis concentrate, but a sticky or buttery substance that is also a form of cannabis concentrate. Its popular name around here is “BHO”, which stands for “butane hash oil” (or “butane honey oil”), though some will sarcastically say it stands for “Barack Hussein Obama”, as in, “hey let’s smoke some Obama.”
Nothing is “cooked” when making BHO in the sense that flame is used to heat combined chemicals into a new molecule like meth; rather, the butane acts as a solvent to extract the THC from the plant. There are other ways to achieve this – micro-mesh bags and ice water, for example – but the butane is used because it evaporates quickly and tends to make a more potent concentrate. It’s also dangerous, because it is a heavy, flammable gas that explodes at the slightest spark or flame, like a pilot light, cigarette, or electric switch.

This BHO is becoming very popular. While the prices of high-quality “flower” (what the BHO enthusiasts call cannabis buds and you might know as good ol’ fashioned “pot”) have plummeted in the Pacific Northwest to around $5 to $10 per gram, the price of BHO ranges from $20 to $40 per gram. Just as prohibition in the 1920′s led consumers and producers to seek the most bang for the buck, preferring whiskey over beer, prohibition today is driving the market toward stronger concentrates of cannabis like BHO. And just as bootleggers with lots of profit motive and little chemistry training led to clandestine alcohol distilleries exploding in the backwoods, greedy weed dealers without much common sense are messing around with heavy explosive gases in un-ventilated hotel rooms.
For medical marijuana patients, the BHO can be the only effective medicine, as smoking or vaporizing relatively-low-potency cannabis can be impractical and ineffective. My palCannabis Cure UK, a sufferer of Crohn’s disease, can make it through an entire workday* on one morning “oil hit”. Smoking “flowers” doesn’t achieve the same relief and requires hourly hits for him. Plus there is a zealous movement behind “Rick Simpson’s Oil”, a recipe that uses a cannabis concentrate oil, that claims it doesn’t just treat but cures cancer.
This in turn has created a whole new sub-genre of paraphernalia and terminology among cannabis consumers. While the oil in its more liquid forms can be spread on a joint and in it’s more solid forms spread over a pipe-load of cannabis, most oil enthusiasts prefer to smoke it directly. To do so, one must heat up a “nail” (a piece of glass or titanium) or a “skillet” (a flat piece of metal) with a “torch” (like a chef would use on crème brûlée). Then one places their “dabs” of “oil” (or “wax” or “butter”) on the “nail” or “skillet” and the hot surface immediately turns the BHO into vapor captured by a “globe” or “bell” (a glass piece added to a bong that keeps the vapor from escaping) which is then inhaled like any hit of cannabis.

theres a lot to be said about common sense and bho. Any way you slice it its pretty dangerous holding a cylinder pressurized leaking with highly volitile gass. To then make the choice to do this in enclosed area where there is source of ignition, utter stupidity. Not saying that stuff still cant go awry outside aswell, remeber to get that static out.

thanks for bringing this up.

Static is a major cause of fume explosions, yet no one wants to talk about it or address the issue because they aren't grounding their blast tubes. Utter belligerent negligent ignorance. Butane gas flashes in super low concentrations, much easier than gasoline, which explodes from static sparks frequently.

Blast naked and outside, with grounded tubes and pyrex dishes.
Anti static wrist bands COST THREE DOLLARS.

[h=1]Man hospitalized after butane-caused explosion[/h]By Cathy Kelly - Santa Cruz Sentinel
Posted: 11/27/2011 06:22:15 PM PST

​
​
A 53-year-old man was flown to a trauma center early Sunday after an explosion at a Live Oak studio authorities suspect was caused by smoking of marijuana or hash with some type of butane fuel, the Sheriff's Office reported.The unidentified man was in a detached studio on the 1700 block of Chanticleer Avenue about 1:50 a.m. when the explosion occurred, authorities said.
He was believed to have been smoking marijuana or hash with some type of butane lighter or torch when the butane became concentrated in the studio and apparently sparked the explosion, sheriff's Sgt. Joe Clarke said.
The man suffered serious burns and was flown to a Santa Clara County trauma center, he said.
Others inside the home were not hurt, though the studio sustained significant damage and the main structure on the property sustained minor damage, Clarke said.

The sheriff's Bomb Team responded, as did Central Fire Protection District.

I will give him extra credit for covering up the fact he was blasting from the police though. Total BHO fail, but well done on that.
