Don’t they often use butane to separate the oil from the plant matter?

I’ve heard this, but don’t understand how. Is hashish an oil?

Yes. The process involves pouring liquid butane into an open dish, then heating the mixture to boil the butane off.

Reminds me of how illegal alcohol stills used to explode during Prohibition. That doesn't seem to happen anymore. Hmmmm ...
