I ate a gram edible I made with isomerized d8 from d9. It hit and then.
I was walking around the middle section of Walmart for about 30 minutes looking for jars that were very visible then got even more high and felt like I was going to puke and was sick feeling
Although, I don’t concur with the second sentence of the first paragraph . Due to the fact that isomerizing cbd to delta 8 thc and oxidizing to cbn. I have 78% return rate out of 100 grams . Coa and proof.
Intersting tought i wonder if i would distill delta 9 to delta 8 i could have better results in my bubble oxigen treu solution rig with a altered ph
And patience
A dihydrocannabinol intermediate(two double bonds, pictured molecule is formed from d9) is formed before CBN.
Theoretically, for d8s analogous intermediate, the second double bound could form at d10 or d6a,7 without requiring d8 to move backwards to d9 first. I agree, d8 moving backwards is very unlikely under any reasonable conditions.
Not saying that’s the mechanism occurring for what @Thedistillator is observing , but it’s technically possible.
Depending on what method you use to make CBN, you will with form that diene that @Dabatronicus posted or you will force a radical which can do whatever the hell it wants. The location of the double bond is irrelevant since that alkene will behave the same in either position.
