Honey Oil – Double Dream (Sativa)

What is Honey Oil?

You may know honey oil by the names hash oil and cannabis oil, which is funny because it doesn’t really look like an oil.

In fact, its appearance actually looks more like, well, honey. This is due to its thick, extremely sticky and almost syrupy texture. It’s made through a method called solvent extraction, which sounds a lot more complicated than it really is.

The process is actually quite simple.

The marijuana plant is “stripped” of its trichomes with some kind of solvent –  isopropyl alcohol and then carefully purged.  No added cutting agents or fillers are added.

The benefit to this method is a much higher potency than smoking can provide. Both in terms of THC levels, but also in flavour and aroma, depending on how its used.

Speaking of the ways its used – let’s get into it…

How can you use Honey Oil?

Honey oil is an incredibly versatile concentrate. The syrup quality it has means it can be ingested in immeasurable ways, with more methods constantly coming to light. To name a few ways honey oil can be used: it can be put into edibles; dabbed with a dab rig; added to concentrate cartridges or syringes; and many more.

If you decide to make your own honey oil, then refilling your own cartridges can be a great help to your bank account.

Honey oil can also be used to make shatter and wax, as they’re really just cooled forms of honey oil. These themselves can then be dabbed with a dab rig.

So, there’s a lot of options out there.
