The marijuana industry's latest 'it product': 'dabs' [View all]

It's become a daily occurrence. Customers visit Hugs Alternative Care, a medical-marijuana dispensary in Sacramento, Calif., and ask for "dabs."

They are referring to butane hash oil, an especially potent form of marijuana, also known as "honey," "honey oil," "wax" or "earwax" because of its sticky, amber-colored appearance.

The marijuana industry's latest "it product," dabs has been moving from the fringe into mainstream consciousness for years, although many card-carrying medicinal-marijuana users and even some law-enforcement officials know little about it.

High Times magazine featured dabs on its July cover, teasing it as "pot's most powerful high." Vice -- the media company that recently accompanied Dennis Rodman on a diplomatic trip to North Korea to meet Kim Jong-un -- has released a mini-documentary on the subject.
