Two people were arrested after an explosion at a Riverside apartment led to the discovery of a butane honey oil lab, police said Thursday.

The 6 a.m. Monday blast in the the 600 block of Central Avenue displaced neighbors as police and firefighters responded to the scene, the Riverside Police Department said in a news release.

Fire investigators determined the cause of the fire was a butane honey oil lab that was set up inside one of the apartments, where they spotted empty butane canisters, hash oil extract and marijuana plants, according to police.

Butane is a flammable and odorless gas used to extract THC from marijuana plants. The process, which produces hash oil, is dangerous because the gas can be easily ignited by the heat from household appliances, police said.

Shortly after the explosion was reported, officers found out a man was brought into an emergency room at a local hospital with severe burn injuries.

Lots of poor life choices there. You would think that since weed was legal in California, that a bowl full of purple Kush indica skunk haze white widow bought at the local weed store would have been good enough.

Butane is? It’s a typical lighter fluid but never smelled any odorizer in lighters. Perhaps thinking of propane? Propane is usually odorized with ethyl mercaptin. Really stinks, which is good.

“You would think that since weed was legal in California...”


So is the crime basically not paying the state taxes on the concentrated product?Akin to turning beer into whisky or wine into brandy?

I don’t think “honey oil” is legal. They were charged with, among many other things, manufacturing a controlled substance or something along those lines. Basically the same as manufacturing meth.
