Yakima 'pipe bomb' was filled with marijuana
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A utility worker discovered what appeared to be a pipe bomb outside a home Thursday in Yakima.
Police called in an Army bomb squad. The street was closed and neighbors evacuated as the bomb squad blew one end off the cylinder.
That's when authorities learned the pipe was not filled with explosives. It was filled with marijuana.
Yakima Herald-Republic readers told the paper the cylinder was likely being used to extract a highly concentrated oil or resin from the marijuana.

That wasn't a Bomb, Da bomb was in the pipe!

@komonews That was a pipe 'bong'. lol!
I'm sorry, I can't stop myself.
IEDope!
When it went off, this deafening *PUFF* could be heard for blocks........
They were making honey oil. Honey Oil is pure THC. Ground marijuana in place in a elongated cylinder and enclosed with two caps. The top cap will have one hole that fits the nozzle of a butane canister air tight. The bottom cap with have a series of holes so that the THC-Butane can seep out into a drip pan. THC and Butane bond as do THC and alcohol. The butane then begins to evaporate from the pan and you are left with pure THC.
@mastakush  I can appreciate the concept.... I prefer to leave something like that for the experts! I enjoy the simplicity of the plant in its original form....
Thanks for the lesson. :>)
