The only analysis tool that I own that could even come close to identifying the degredation products is an old dual beam spectrophotometer that is UV capable. This has given clues what is happening a bit but this is not my focus to learn the precise nature of what is taking place. I do know the...

No. I have grown a total of one marijuana plant in my 53 years lolz and only rarely use flower or bud. I grew up on the farm(s) though of Central and Eastern Oregon. Back in the 80s a big cash crop was mint. The oil is the only thing of value in mint and as a farmhand I have intimate knowledge...

The extract is placed in the main boiling vessel. The steam generator is a boiling flask secured in a stainless steel pot by ordinary sand which covers about half the flask. On top of that is a bump trap kjedahl bulb to minimize liquid water from entering the rubber hose on top. The rubber hose...

Steam distillation of cannaninoid proceeds right after the terpenes come across in my own steam distillation rig. Steam distillation has been used for a long long time to,purify things like extract and it works wonderfully. This short vid documents what it looks like as the water and extract...

In all honest the post was not meant for folks who balk at procedure. The procedures I use came after a very long time. I do not make them complicated, they are complex in order to obtain very high purities. If boiling extract in iso/water first then pulling through a buchner funnel is too...

I have used nearly every solvent off the shelf. Hexane, DCM (but nit converted to chloroform), Ethyl Acetate, Acetone, Pentane, all alcohols and of course water. You cannot help but extract chlorophyl even with CO2 or other methods. I have considerable expertise and know of what I speak...

Once THC has decarboxylated into Delta 9 THC the breakdown begins immediately. Refigeration does not stop this. The only thing I have found to stop breakdown of THC into CBN is to store it in a deep vacuum.

I keep the stem in the freezer on an ice cube tray. It seems to help with the hit and keeps the powder fresh until the superheated air hits it. The hope is that a substantial part will sublimate directly to gas and boiling off the glass surface is kept to a minimum. Here is a shot of the...

Just when I thought I had perfected the morning wake and bake, I get humbled! Peanut butter is pure genius and it pains me that I overlooked that option. I am gonna go grab my can of Jif now and keep it safe by the sofa. I will guard it with my spoon.

This video demonstrates how to set up for the proper "entourage" effect when vaping. Good medicine is not a drug. Good medicine is a way of life.

Here is my steam codistillation rig that works nicely.

Nice work. The problem with using my data set is the inherent and known limitstions of the pirani sensor. They cannot provide accurate measurment below one micron, so when the gauge reads ¾ of one micron it means "less than one" and not necessarily ¾ of one. If the actual vacuum is ½ of one...

Using the single point conversion chart I computed the predicted temperature for boiling at 75 microns based on mynown measurements I observed and cross referenced to the official Pubchem citation which is the current government information. At that pressure of just 75 microns the computed...

I believe your pressure prediction to be innacurate and at odds with the observable facts. Let me explain. The published boiling temp of Delta-9 THC is accurately described on the opensource website used by chemists and in place by the government - Pubchem. They accurately list the boiling...

It works great as a periscope. It is crystal and does not mind the heat. Cheapest piece of glass in my house!!!

A very kind post. Thank you. Four years ago or so I really did not care too much about the purity of this medicine. Then, one night after noticing a deer and attempting to avoid it while riding my sweet baby Harley Softail Deluxe, I had the opportunity to directly observe the effects of a human...
