The literature I read back in the day showed that what extracts THC will also extract CBD. I know this to be generally true; there may be interesting boundary conditions. "Cannabinoids" as lipid diterpenes is useful here because they all travel as a group. If you have a good THC-extraction method, I believe it will also apply to CBD.

@cannabineer,
I am looking into having my extracts professionally tested, but that's a bit expensive.
The test kits on the market are either almost as expensive, give terrible results or in the case of the pocket spectrometers (MyDx and tCheck2) "give close matches" to profiles already in their database.
So that's $800 or $300 plus $20 a month subscription for a test that gives almost useless data....

Please speak your mind.

Vacuum distillation, used meticulously and with specialist equipment (the sort I've always lusted after but never managed to get for myself) can do the things you say. However when azeotropes are in play, you'll have unavoidable damage to the lighter components of the terpene entourage.

While "fiddling" may be an apt term, it obscures the actual issues involved and how to rank them.

Bottom line, vacuum distillation benefits from skill and practice.

@cannabineer,
When I was in high school, I used to know a guy who could make his fiddle sound like a donkey or a train, it was funny...
His parents paid all this money for him to learn because they had aspirations of him becoming a professional violinist and all he wanted to do was play bluegrass songs.
Not that you don't need training for that, but bluegrass fiddle lessons don't cost as much as a violin teacher who promises to make your kid first chair...

I wouldn't pay a teacher to make my kid into a chair.

Not much, anyway.

Thanks for the fun ... I love this aspect of RIU.

@cannabineer,
That reminds of another funny thing from when I was a kid.
A friends mom got one of those "super high tech" cars that would talk to you and tell you when you left the keys in the ignition or when you left the door open.
But it was the 90's so the voice was like a female Stephen Hawking.
If a door was left open the voice would say "a door is a-jar"
And we'd always laugh "no it isn't, it's a door!"

Oh excellent!

I hear that in the Bad Automated Voice from the manta plane in "Incredibles".

My dad did not buy super high tech cars. He is an engineer. Our cars were never the new hotness (except when a Toyota Corolla 1200 really was the new hotness in '73) but always carefully chosen and kept.

I learned how to abuse a manual transmission in that Toyota.

Your dad sounds like a smart man.
Don't get V1.0, let everyone else figure out the bugs...

What field is your dad in?

The thing about old Toyotas and Honda's was that they were built like little tanks and ran forever...
Now if you change the oil yourself you void your warranty..

The voice from the plane in the Incredibles reminds me of the "Johnny-Cab" from Total Recall for some reason....
lol..

Lol I remember Johnny Cab.

My dad is retired from electrical engineering. He did broadband digital telecom before it was cool.
