Hash oil is an evaporated solution of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the principal psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant) and various other compounds. It is traditionally a dark, viscous liquid made by solvent (e.g. butane, alcohol, acetone) extraction of cannabis resin. Despite the similarity in names, it does not resemble hashish. It can be a very potent medication due to its high THC concentration, which generally varies between 60% and 90%.
Related honey oil is a specific type of hash oil. It can be vaporized off improvised devices; such as a an electric stove element, car cigarette lighter, or pressed between two heated knives (known as blades, spotting or hot knifing). The vapor can then be inhaled through a hollow tube, often an empty pen tube called a hooter.
