Scott said there were canisters of butane and CO2 inside Smoke Tokes Wholesale Distribution.

"Butane being highly flammable is what certainly added and fueled those flames to come out," Scott said. "The explosion has spread those canisters in at least a two block radius." He said preliminary information indicated that Smokes Tokes supplied butane honey oil and other materials for "cannabis-type operations." He said investigators were looking into a September 2016 fire connected to Smoke Tokes at a "slightly different location." That fire, at 330 E. 3rd Street, took about 160 firefighters more than two hours to extinguish.


Is the manufacture of honey oil legal. Something doesn't smell right here.

From what I read yesterday it’s legal to smoke it in CA but illegal to manufacture.

“Is the manufacture of honey oil legal?”

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.
