Two Brooklyn teenagers were severely injured early yesterday (Dec. 18th) after their attempt to make a potent concentrate of marijuana ended in an explosion. The Daily News reports that a teenage couple suffered second and third degree burns when one of them lit a cigarette while they soaked a thirty gallon tub of marijuana with butane in a garage.
"Their lungs are good . . . but from the waist up, all burned," the girl's mother says. "Her hands, too. She could be in the hospital for a year. She needs surgery. The doctors said it will get worse every day."
Police say they found a "large amount" of marijuana, plants, storage containers, glass pans, and butane in the garage. One neighbor said of the 2:22 a.m. explosion, "We could see the flames and hear people yelling for help."
The substance the couple may have been trying to produce is ear wax hash or "honey oil," which has been a popular prong of the "dabbing" craze in the marijuana world.
