Hash<br \/>\nquickly spread throughout south and central Asia, and although considered <i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">haram <\/i>(forbidden) for Muslims, hash has<br \/>\nbeen an undeniable part of Islamic culture for centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today, the most popular type of<br \/>\ncannabis concentrate is butane hash oil (BHO). BHO is a cannabis extract that<br \/>\nis made by pushing liquid butane through a holding container full of marijuana.<br \/>\nThe liquid butane and the cannabis trichomes, which contain the THC and other<br \/>\ncannabinoids, are both nonpolar, so the trichomes are quickly dissolved into<br \/>\nthe butane. The butane is then evaporated, and the resulting BHO varies in<br \/>\ntexture and color depending on the specific methods used in the extraction<br \/>\nprocess.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">BHO has a variety of nicknames<br \/>\nbased on its consistency: hash oil, wax, shatter, <span class=\"SpellE\">budder<\/span>,<br \/>\ncrumble, glass, sap, sugar, honey, honey toast, honeycomb, comb, snap \u2018n pull, <span class=\"SpellE\">erl<\/span>, whip, \u2018<span class=\"SpellE\">tane<\/span>, the list goes<br \/>\non.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0 <\/span>BHO is consumed by smoking it either<br \/>\nin a vaporizer or by dabbing.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7498\" src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/dab2-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"dab2\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/dab2-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/dab2.jpg 484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"mso-no-proof: yes;\"><!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shape id=\"Picture_x0020_2\" o:spid=\"_x0000_i1026\" type=\"#_x0000_t75\" style='width:302.25pt; height:200.25pt;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square'>\n<v:imagedata src=\"The_Beginners_Guide_to_Cannabis_Concentrates__Dabbing__and_Dab_Rigs_files\/image002.jpg\" o:title=\"bho-shatter-cannabis\"\/>\n<\/v:shape><![endif]--><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">An emerging <span class=\"SpellE\">solventless<\/span><br \/>\ntechnique of producing shatter-like cannabis concentrates known as \u201crosin\u201d<br \/>\ntechnology may soon become more popular than BHOs. Rosin refers to an<br \/>\nextraction technique in which heat and pressure is used to instantaneously<br \/>\nsqueeze out the resinous sap from cannabis plant material. One reason for<br \/>\nrosin\u2019s newfound popularity is that the process does not introduce any foreign<br \/>\nsubstances in the extraction process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">Dabbing Defined<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dabbing refers to heating a dose<br \/>\nof BHO or rosin, known as a \u201cdab,\u201d on a hot surface, usually a nail, and then<br \/>\ninhaling the smoke through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodyssmokeshop.com\/collections\/dab-rigs\">dab rig<\/a>. When<br \/>\nthe nail is hot, the concentrate is pressed against the nail using a small tool<br \/>\nknown as a dabber. \u201cTaking a dab\u201d is the process of touching, or \u201cdabbing,\u201d the<br \/>\ndose of concentrate against the heated nail, producing a vapor which is<br \/>\ninhaled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">Dab Rigs<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dab rigs are a specific type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodyssmokeshop.com\/collections\/bongs\">water pipe<\/a> that<br \/>\nare used for smoking concentrates.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7499\" src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/dab3-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"dab3\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/dab3-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/dab3.jpg 484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"mso-no-proof: yes;\"><!-- [if gte vml 1]><v:shape id=\"Picture_x0020_3\" o:spid=\"_x0000_i1025\" type=\"#_x0000_t75\" style='width:5in; height:3in;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square'>\n<v:imagedata src=\"The_Beginners_Guide_to_Cannabis_Concentrates__Dabbing__and_Dab_Rigs_files\/image004.png\" o:title=\"\"\/>\n<\/v:shape><![endif]-->Like a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodyssmokeshop.com\/collections\/bongs\">bong<\/a>, a dab rig is<br \/>\nnot designed to catch anything on fire.
