Does anyone have experience using column chromatography for the isolation of cannabinoids (mainly THC) in honey oil? I've researched high and low and have only been able to find mentions but nothing helpful for someone figuring it out. My basic idea was to run ground bud through a Soxhlet with hexane, purify through silica gel column chromatography and remove the hexane with a rotary evaporator. If I've understood correctly, this should yield highly potent, extremely pure honey oil. I'm not interested is isomerization.

The only problem is I don't have any experience using column chromatography for lipid extraction. Anyone who does, I'd welcome a tip or 3 sentence how-to. It would be useful for others too!

If you have no idea what I'm talking about you can look here:

Soxhlet extractor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rotary evaporator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Column chromatography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah some of the equipment is kind of expensive but I'm of the philosophy to do things right or not at all.

Thank you!
