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.

Strain

Black Tuna was created by 5 Star Organic in order to provide patients with a powerful hit of THC that is beneficial for chronic pain relief. It is a British Columbian stain made by crossing Lamb’s Bread and Herojuana and is extremely popular in Canada not only for the strong narcotic effect it provides but also for its quirky marketing tactics as this was sold in sealed tuna cans. Flowers of this marijuana strain are compact, covered in trichomes and carry a strong smell. The colour of Black Tuna is rich sage green with shades of darker green and also hints of purple. However, this strain does not smell like fish. In fact, the name originates from Black Tuna Gang that was well-known for the smuggling of Colombian marijuana in the 1970s in the United States. With a THC level of 22-28 percent, it is a potent strain and may be a bit too much for a beginner or moderate users. Black Tuna carries a spicy and intoxicating flavour with a slightly putrid and spicy smell. The effects of Black Tuna are experiencing a euphoric feel along with feeling happy and aroused. It aids with insomnia, pain, inflammation, spasticity, nausea, headache and cramps.
