The
term hash oil is used by illicit drug users and
dealers, but is a misnomer in suggesting any resemblance
to hashish. Hash oil is produced by extracting
the cannabinoids from plant material with a solvent.
The color and odor of the resulting extract will
vary, depending on the type of solvent used. Current
samples of hash oil, a viscous liquid ranging
from amber to dark brown in color, average about
15 percent THC. In terms of its psychoactive effect,
a drop or two of this liquid on a cigarette is
equal to a single "joint" of marijuana.

Hash Oil generally consists of between 15 and
50 percent THC but can have as much as 70 percent
THC.
