Shatter’s also known as butane hash oil (BHO) – and users make it using large amounts of (highly flammable) butane gas.
At least two people have died and 27 people have been injured across the UK in explosions thought to be associated with the drug.
Shatter is made by using the solvent to strip THC – the active ingredient in cannabis – out of the plant, creating a glass-like or oily extract.

It’s up to ten times stronger than normal weed.
