Looks like awesome herb, but it hasn't been soaked in anything.

"THC oil", called Hash Oil, turns a deep red when made with butane. It turns a darker red, or brown when hash oil is made with isopropanol.

If those buds were dipped in either of those, those buds would be much darker (deep red or brownish-black) and your fingers would be covered in the oil, so sticky it's like rubbing honey on your fingers.

Those bucds weren't dipped. Your friend is a lame ass and I would laugh at him.

Looks great though!
