Is this a dumb Idea or am I on to something?

try this...I think it might be easier,

Direct isomerization

You want to convert all those free available cannibidiols into more potent THC analogs and cannabinols?

This technique also will render a fully decarboxylized end product, as well as destroying many terpenes and aromatics which can improve or destroy a product depending on the original quality. It is important to understand this is not a full conversion to Æ?´9-THC, but to THC analogs and more active cannibidiols, and is included in this discussion more as an educational exercise. Basic isomerization takes place with a quick reflux of your cannabinoids in the presence of any H+ source (acid).

1. Treat your stuff as if it were a volatile solvent or critical fluid extraction.
2. With the remaining resin, dissolve it in a non-polar solvent. Be sure to use one that separates easily from water such as naphia or white gas.
3. Treat this mixture with sulphuric or hydrochloric acid until a pH around 1-2 is reached (approximately one drop of concentrated acid per gram of extract).
4. Place this in a reflux apparatus and cook it for about an hour. In case you¡¦re not familiar this is basically just Pyrex breaker with a large looped tube plugged into the top. This will cause the solution inside to be exposed to elevated pressures as well as temperatures, as well as preserving all of the original contents. Simply simply boiling the mixture in a small strong covered vessel can mimic it.
5. Wash what¡¦s left with water, keep the oil layer.
6. Neutralize your mix (bring it to pH 7.0) with a little Sodium Hydroxide solution (pH 9.0) or baking soda then rewash it with water. Save the oil layer again.
7. Allow your oil to evaporate and you should be left with a sticky amber liquid that contains almost pure THC.



Easy as pie!!!! :jointsmile:

1. would this smell?
2. how much bud would you need for this to be effective/ how much would you need of the end product to get high
3. how would you go about taking the thc, if cooking is not an option

I've tried eating cannabis many times with limited success. This method blew my mind! Anyways I've been reading alot on this forum and noticed a few things that gave me a crazy idea 1. Cannabis must be activated by some sort of oil / fat to be absorbed by eating 2. Cabbabis is not water soluble which is why it doesn't get trapped in the water when using a bong. My question is lets say you put oil instead of water in a Rating: 5
