this is remniscient of how heroine was invented - adding the acetate, thereby increasing its potency and speed with which it's gonna attach to the synapses.
ironic how Bayer back than claimed heroine is a perfect substitute & cure for all these morphinists - "because heroine doesn't create an addiction" lmao
they just more than doubled their profits overnight by cooking it with "cheap vinegar"
“How Is THC-O Acetate Made?
Believe it or not, the process for manufacturing THC-O acetate is almost the same as making heroin from morphine! It involves taking a compound and adding an acetate group to increase its absorption rate and potency. While THC-O’s base structure is similar to
cannabinoids found in nature, the functional acetate group is not.
Making THC-O involves several extractions beginning with industrial hemp. Manufacturers extract cannabidiol (CBD) from hemp, then extract delta-8 from the cannabidiol. At this stage, they add acetic anhydride, an extremely flammable compound, to the mix to create THC-O acetate. When properly produced, it takes the form of a thick brown liquid that resembles motor oil.
Making tetrahydrocannabinol-O-acetate is an extremely dangerous process. You should only create it in a proper lab with a vacuum hood. Only someone with the right knowledge and technical equipment should even consider making it. Manufacturing THC-O involves the use of volatile, flammable, and explosive chemicals.
One part of the process involves refluxing in strong acid. You need flasks to have a strong vacuum as they’re heated. It is a necessary step, but one that could lead to an implosion. If such an incident occurs, the emission of glass, boiling acid, flammable liquids, and poisonous vapor could prove fatal.
Making THC-O also involves causing an off-gassing of peroxide gas into the air. It is explosive, so a single spark could result in an explosion. NEVER try to make THC-O at home!” -https://wayofleaf.com/blog/thc-o
