Lol.


I love the smell of exploding hash oil in the morning. It smells like... ...like... ...love not war, man.

Skimmed the article. The explosion was violent, I get it... oh, here we go.

Hash oil is made by packing finely ground stems and leaves of marijuana plants in a pipe and pouring butane through it, said Amy Roderick, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which is leading the investigation. The liquid typically is then cooked on a stove to separate the butane.


So it was butane that caused this fire. But wait!

The DEA did not confirm that a cigarette ignited the butane or know the size of the drug operation.

"It just looks like a bomb that blew up there," Roderick said. "It's hard for us to tell what was going on there."


Again, we see the perpetuation of bullshit, sensationalist journalism.

Legalize weed!

So a couple try to extract hash oil from marijuana and butane explosion results.

Therefore marijuana is dangerous.

That is one hell of a reacharound.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

So it wasn't the Hash Oil that exploded, but the butane they where using to make the Hash Oil. Oh, that makes it so much better. LOL :rofl:

The article failed to mention the fact that after they went back to the station, fire fighters ate every scrape of food in sight and where found passed out on the couch in front of the TV.

Then clearly the solution would be to ban butane.

Or, we can ban the use of butane to make hash oil.
Oh, we already did that, sorry.

No, we banned hash oil, as part of the ban on marijuana. Marijuana is harmless, butane is the explodant.

We shouldn't really have banned either, considering that other non-drug related products with butane in them explode as well.

Legalize all drugs. Then you can demonize twaddy Pharma corporations like we did with Tobacco, and slap a big ole social stigma on it, besides taxing the shit out of it. No more gangs, new industry, more taxes, an enemy that isn't "cool"... everybody wins.

I'd much prefer someone to smoke Marijuana than cigarettes. Some where I read that some scientific trial proved that it does make you more dumb, but besides that it isn't as deadly as cigarettes...in my opinion, I guess..

I used to really dislike people who smoked marijuana - really...I used to say that I hated potheads..But now since I'm getting older, I would rather someone smoke marijuana than cigarettes..I used to feel the opposite..

OP argument that "Making hash oil causes explosions, therefore marijuana is dangerous" has all the scholarly brilliance of "Meth labs explode, therefore cold pills are dangerous".

From what it looks like, the Hash didn't hurt them, stupidity involving a cigarette and canisters of Butane did.

1. Okay, no it doesn't.
2. Glad to hear your mind changed? It sounds like you're still tentatively opposed, which is mildly dissatisfying.

I don't so much dislike drug users as disprove of their choices, and consider them to be rather, well, unintelligent. But I'd call anyone who allows themselves to become addicted to something rather dumb.
