Honey Oil – Gusher (Indica)

About Honey Oil – Gusher (Indica)

What is Honey Oil?

You may know honey oil by the names hash oil and cannabis oil, which is funny because it doesn’t really look like an oil.

In fact, its appearance actually looks more like, well, honey. This is due to its thick, extremely sticky and almost syrupy texture. It’s made through a method called solvent extraction, which sounds a lot more complicated than it really is.

The process is actually quite simple.

The marijuana plant is “stripped” of its trichomes with some kind of solvent –  isopropyl alcohol and then carefully purged.  No added cutting agents or fillers are added.

The benefit to this method is a much higher potency than smoking can provide. Both in terms of THC levels, but also in flavour and aroma, depending on how its used.

Speaking of the ways its used – let’s get into it…

How can you use Honey Oil?

Honey oil is an incredibly versatile concentrate. The syrup quality it has means it can be ingested in immeasurable ways, with more methods constantly coming to light. To name a few ways honey oil can be used: it can be put into edibles; dabbed with a dab rig; added to concentrate cartridges or syringes; and many more.

If you decide to make your own honey oil, then refilling your own cartridges can be a great help to your bank account.

Honey oil can also be used to make shatter and wax, as they’re really just cooled forms of honey oil. These themselves can then be dabbed with a dab rig.

So, there’s a lot of options out there.

Strain

Gushers is a slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing the classic Gelato #41 X Triangle Kush strains. Named for the delicious candy, Gushers brings on the flavors with a combination of sour tropical fruits and rich creamy cookies in each and every toke. The aroma follows the same profile, although with a slightly herbal overtone and touches of spicy grape. The Gushers high isn’t quite as bright as the flavor, with super relaxing effects that are best suited for lazy nights spent at home with friends catching up on Netflix. The high starts with an influx of tingly euphoria that fills the back of the head with lightly arousing tingles. This quickly spreads throughout the rest of your body, leaving you pretty aroused and incredibly relaxed through and through. You won’t be sleepy in this state, but rather totally at ease with anything and everything happening around you. With these effects and its high 15-22% average THC level, Gushers is said to be perfect for treating chronic stress or anxiety, depression and chronic pain. This bud has elongated olive green nugs with bright green leaves, lots of thin amber hairs and a coating of tiny amber crystal trichomes.
