[h=4]Hash & Concentrates[/h]
In California, hashish or concentrates are referred to as "concentrated cannabis". Possession of concentrated cannabis is punishable by a fine of $500 and a term of imprisonment no longer than 1 year.

The penalties associated with the manufacture of hashish or concentrates depends on what method was used during the manufacture. If the manufacturing process involved extraction chemicals, such as butane, then it is considered manufacture by means of chemical synthesis of a controlled substance. Manufacture by means of chemical synthesis of a controlled substance carries a fine no greater than $50,000 and a term of imprisonment of 3, 5, or 7 years as determined by the court. If the manufacturing process utilized screens, presses, or any other means not involving a chemical synthesis, then the offense is considered unauthorized processing of marijuana. Unauthorized processing of marijuana carries a term of imprisonment 16 months, 2 years, or three years as determined by the court.

As of October 21, 2003, Attorney General Bill Lockyer made it clear that hashish and other concentrated marijuana are protected under Prop. 215, saying that “Concentrated cannabis or hashish is included within the meaning of ‘marijuana’ as that term is used in the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.”

Concentrated Cannabis: Possession & Manufacture[/h]
Concentrated cannabis (C.C.) is treated differently under California law than cannabis plants and bud, as different statutes apply to manufacturing and possessing C.C.
Possession/Transportation: Most counties allow you to possess/transport at least 8 oz. of dried marijuana, some counties allow you to possess more. In 2003, the California Attorney General issued Opinion #03-411 stating that C.C. is included within the term "marijuana," as it is used in the Compassionate Use Act. Although it is ASA's position that a patient may possess a combination of C.C. and bud that is consistent with the local guidelines (e.g., 7.5 oz. of marijuana and .5 oz. Of C.C), there is a risk associated with possessing C.C., as the law is unsettled and law enforcement tend to be biased against C.C. and may escalate an encounter after finding even trace amounts of it. Label your concentrates "For Personal Use", and only possess/transport an amount you will feel comfortable proving to both a police officer and a jury is reasonable for your personal use.
Manufacturing: Unfortunately, the law is more complex on this topic. According to a recent appellate court decision, People v. Niall Bergen, there is a distinction between manufacturing C.C. with chemicals (e,g, using alcohol, butane, or another chemical solvent) as opposed to manufacturing it naturally (e.g. using pressure, screening, ice water/freezing, butter, or vegetable oil). Naturally manufactured C.C. is almost certainly protected under the medical marijuana laws, whereas chemically manufactured C.C. may not be.

Concentrates and 215/SB420
It is always brought to my attention many times over the years, most recently in this thread, that people are having their legitimate medicine confiscated and even enduring arrest due to some police officer's misunderstanding/misinformation/ignorance of the law regarding the definition of "marijuana" under Prop 215. For the record, concentrates are considered "marijuana" under Prop 215/SB420. DO NOT be convinced into believing otherwise.
Here is a link to a .pdf (printable) file of the AGs decision on this over 5 years ago. I stand to be corrected but I believe AG Brown's recently issued guidelines echo the same. I encourage anyone who feels safe doing so who has had their concentrated medicine taken to use this information as you will. And carry a copy of the first page w/ CONCLUSION on your person @ all times.
I am gonna have to say the evidence speaks for itself, you are lucky you made it this far in life.
Peace
