Can someone explain to me the magic of naturally occurring d8thc? This chart and another article I read claim it’s naturally occurring from oxidation / age 
not an acidic catalyst. Source they mentioned: Delta-8-THC: A secondary cannabinoid with amazing medical and recreational potential
I’d like some more conversation about this. As yes I’ve seen cbd with negligible % of other cannabinoids. I’ve never heard of oxidized / age created d8thc. Only acid/solvent created
I would say its a uv isomerization rather than an oxidation.
degradation process 800 illustrates the isomerization of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol forming Δ-8-tetrahydrocannabinol. Isomerization between Δ9-THC and Δ8-THC may be attributed to photochemical properties of phytocannabinoids allowing for UV isomerization.
So how would you suppose cbd could naturally become d8? By become d9 first with UV light and other cannabinoids?
not sure I dont think the cbd to thc would be uv driven as too much uv will crack the epoxy bridge
back to the diphenol like cbd.
I found this trying to look up how to remediate thc from cbd by uv light which was inspired
by @hollowman .
he may know though.
if it comes up (it probably has and I forgot) ill let you know.
I personally just haven’t found anything to concur with the article / chart shown.
catch me if you can.
I love that movie.
Such a good movie!!
do you know why the Yankees always win?
because no one can stop looking at the pin stripes 
Why aren’t you charging for this advice! SMH 
funny enough I have made more money on this forum than any other.
it all came from the peoples hearts and now I am stuck luck glue.
I could not charge you guys if I wanted too I am humbled and honered to be here.
still much I have to learn on cannabis chem and I can see in time a very nice career
due to the kindness and professional attitude of the people here.
a big thankyou to you all.
plus now I am making thc I am probably to stoned to even keep the books.
shhh shh i dont wanna hear anything that could potentially justify my own means on these lands. Welcome to the game, and if you have any fucking questions be sure that shit is resolved
<3<3<3
THC is chiral I guess not sure how to resolve it though.
Lol
Alphabet boyz: yeah, well just take this month away, y’all can go back to trapping next month okay @stevelabman
The community: 
sounds like a distraction from the failures of the government to keep its people safe.
lets just give them a lolly and they will forget all about it.
I bet the law is passed and you get your cannabis at least then you will all be too stoned
to see that trump doesnt really care about the people only the stock holders.
Ich bin zwar deutscher, -aber wir töten nicht. NIEMALS!!!
Ich hab Angst das die Nation die uns gerettet hat, jetzt andere Wege geht…
Was ist mit den Menschen an der Grenze?!
Was macht ihr mit denen?!?!
edit: sorry, little bit “freak out”
Please dont read, (überlesst es bitte einfach).
es tut mir leid, ich bin einfach so verwundert und erschrocken. Ihr habt uns gerettet. Wirklich! keiner ist sauer, sogar mein Opa (maschienengewehr an der Nomandie) hat mir beigeracht den amerikanern dankbar zu sein. Und absolut niemals vergessen wir die Luftbrücke… Niemals (Never forget!). Aber wir haben Probleme damit zu verstehen was ihr nmit den Mexikannern macht… Warum nimmt ihr Kindern ihre Eltern weg?
Edit:; es kann nie ok sein, wenn kinder von ihren Eltern getrennt werden. NIE! Wir machen uns sorgen… ob ihr noch das Land der Freiheit seit, das Land das uns gerettet hat…
hey jeeric have you seen these two forums before.
both are chemical forums in german.
The WIPHE provisions were NOT thought out very carefully as all extractors, regardless of methodology (hydrocarbon, CO2, alcohol/ethanol, etc.) will out be in violation of 0.3% THC through their normal extraction SOPs. Everyone was so caught up on Delta-8 after the IFR was published August 21st that many did not even pick up on the bigger more concerning industry threat, the WIPHE. There are a million opinions floating around right now and the public comment period still runs through October 20th. It will be anyone’s guess as to how the DEA amends their current language, if they do at all. This could single handedly stop the industry if the DEA doubles down and begins to crack down on hemp processors in the fourth quarter of this year. Hopefully they will weigh out all of the public comments they have received and realize the existing language is just not realistic or practical. We will all know soon enough. . .
