Honey Oil – Sour Berry (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

Sour Berry is a slightly indica dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa) strain created through crossing the classic Purple Berry Kush X Sour Diesel strains. Although Sour Berry is famous for its flavor, its appearance isn’t half bad either! Sour Berry buds have tight round teal nugs with vibrant and super furry orange hairs and a coating of bright amber crystal trichomes that deck each twisty leaf. The flavor is much like a Sour Warhead candy, with a super sour berry taste that has a zesty grape exhale that sweetens as you smoke. The aroma adds a kick of kush, with a pungent diesel effect that accents the sweet tangy berry overtone. The Sour Berry high is one high-powered uplifted adventure that’s not recommended for the average user thanks to its high 24-25% average THC level. It starts with a euphoric lift that leaves you feeling blissfully happy without a care in the world. As this state builds, your mind may become slightly numb and fall into a mild introspection that can leave you distant at times. Throughout this head high your body will become completely relaxed due to a mellow body buzz that can cause couch-lock if you’re not careful. With these effects, Sour Berry is said to be perfect for treating conditions such as chronic stress or anxiety, depression, muscle spasms, and chronic pain.
