Hash Explosion Burns Two in Colorado
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. - Two people severely burned in a house fire near Breckenridge appear to have been injured when at least one of them was trying to make hashish.
Summit County officials say the house caught fire in an explosion early Sunday and that two people with severe burns were dropped off at Summit Medical Center.
Fire investigators say it appears at least one of the burn victims was trying to make hashish, a concentrated resin made from marijuana that can smoked or chewed. The victims were using butane fuel canisters, which are dangerous indoors.
Officials say the victims were approved to grow medical marijuana. They were taken to Denver-area hospitals for treatment.
Police didn't identify them, citing medical confidentiality.
