With a radical formed, would you see Thc dimers as side products?
Assuming the radical stays within the cyclohexene moiety, no. Like I said, radicals are hard to control so it could happen ortho to the alcohol.
If you are looking for a dimer, you should take THC and treat it with carbonyl diimidazole, phosgene, or triphosgene. This will make the following molecule:

Why would you want that lol
That’s crazy

Why does anyone want weird ass modifications to cannabinoids? To check their bio activity.

I was asking only for identification of side products. Helps to know when working up back to purity. But for this am just asking hypothetically.

Yeah man, kotk doesnt see it and we all know hes an organic chemist…
That is the next step of course. I am going to send @Roguelab a sample soon, to see if he can figure out the secrets.

Sending a finalized product will not reveal any information about how it was synthesized. There is probably no trace of whatever catalyst you used. Only way to figure anything out is GC-MS for catalyst mass or NMR for any residual compounds.

I meant the secrets of making CBN isolates.

They don’t test for CBL around here, what is it?
So no known value for that one?
Other then it being rare, it’s unlikely to be useful.
I’d be happy to be proven wrong.
People are overlooking THCAs anti-inflammatory effects due to COx-2 inhibition as well as it’s strong immune system boosting effects

Thca is definitely a good one, I like it because it’s not regulated like it’s decarboxylated form. I’ve been looking into delta 8. I think I’d like to buy some. I’m in NC so it’ll have to be compliant
To me delta-8 acts the same as d9, just was less potent. Literature reports it 1/2-3/4 as strong as d9.
It seems to provide much stronger anti-emetic effect(nausea reduction) in many users and also reduced anxiety side effects compared to d9

I want some, how much would be a good price for 100g or so.
No way, 40-60 retail. Maybe 100 in VA in a cart but that’s too much for just a raw gram
You can search on here for the procedure from CBD.

Thca is absolutely regulated. It’s converted to thc at .88% when it’s run through the HPLC

What kind of analysis is that? They don’t decarboxylate my test samples at the lab I go to. I think gc/Ms is the one that uses heat to quantify and uhplc retains the acids
