Hash oil, also known as honey oil or cannabis oil, is an oleoresin obtained by the extraction of cannabis or hashish.  It is a cannabis concentrate containing many of its resins and terpenes – in particular, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and other cannabinoids.  There are various extraction methods, most involving a solvent, such as butane or ethanol.  Hash oil is usually consumed by smoking, vaporizing or eating.
