HASH OIL EXPLOSIONS RISE WITH LEGALIZED MARIJUANA

An unintended consequence of legalization are the vast increase of hash oil explosions injuring the guilty party as well as innocence bystanders. Here in Colorado in 2012 we had only 1 injury from an explosion in 2013 that jumped to 11 severely burned and already in the first four months of 2014 that number stands at 10. With that rate we ought to hit 30 burned people by the end of 2014. I guess we should count ourselves lucky since only 10 were injured in 30 hash oil explosions!
Today's hash oil chemist were the Meth labs of the past. This lethal mixture can have as much as 80% THC in the final product and because of the legalization of marijuana it makes it difficult if not impossible for prosecutors to charge these mad scientist with a crime.
Please read this link and ask yourself, is this what we want for Alaska?
