Here's what happens when you 'vape' hashish for TV
CNBC ^ | 4/8/14 | Jane Wells

In a report I did on the marijuana business, I focused on a company called mCig, which sells a hybrid between an electronic cigarette and a joint. Basically, the $10 device takes anything from "dry herb" to oil, heats the substance to the edge of combustion and creates a vapor, or a vapor/smoke combination, that can be inhaled.

To demonstrate the product, we asked mCig COO Mark Linkhorst to heat up some mCigs and vape them on camera. It was all done legally in a medical marijuana setting. Linkhorst is allowed to do this under Washington state law.

First, there was "take one."

Then we asked him to do it again.

And again.

And once more.

You can see the entire process condensed in the video clip. The cameraman and I wanted to make sure we had the best shots, not really understanding until the very end how much hashish Linkhorst was ingesting. Finally, after four takes, it dawned on me that perhaps it was time to stop.

"I'm feeling very medicated right now," Linkhorst told me. "A lot more relaxed than before I did the interview."

I don’t know about “medical hashish”, but hash oil is okay in Washington state. The stater will certify you to manufacture is as long as you’re “safe”.

By “safe”, I mean that the processor who extracts the hash oil from the clippings has been state-certified that they use a ‘closed-loop’ system which bathes the marijuana clippings in butane and thus extracts the oil. It isn’t cheap to get the kind of machinery needed for a closed-loop system. A lot of people who try to extract hash oil do so using home-made “open” (as in ‘open to the air’) methods. Butane....highly flammable, as you know....doesn’t get properly vented, gets ignited by a spark from somewhere, and BLAMMO! Your house/garage/apartment just blew up.

Hash oil is then dried until it becomes an amber-like substance which is then vaporized and inhaled. The vapors are MUCH more potent than smoking marijuana leaves, and the carcinogenic effects of marijuana smoke are greatly reduced, if not eliminated.

There was a time when America was truly great , when it’s men and women were courageous , brave and virtuous . Then came the 60’s and 70’s and 80’s , and so much of that virtue went down the dope toilet . Will we ever recover ? I kind of doubt it . Some changes are , sadly , permanent .

And sadly..the intro quoted is the only part of that song worth it.
And you can’t find that intro by itself.
At least not while on mobile debice.
