Feel a bit stupid posting about this but here we go.
Found an old jar of d8-thco back in storage. Dated to have been produced about 5 months ago. Seems to have turned to an almost pg/vg consistency. Pretty much zero vinegar smell.
Anyone know whether this is still useable, or what the chemical make up of this thing could be?
If the D8-THCO has changed in consistency and has no vinegar smell, it might have degraded over time. Its potency and effects could be affected. It’s hard to determine its exact chemical makeup without lab testing. If you’re unsure, it’s probably best to dispose of it properly to avoid any potential risks. Safety first!
I have some of the d9 thco that kca tested at 1000 mg/g in a vacuum sealed mason jar. Its been sitting at room temperature over a year. It would be interesting to test it and see if it degraded at all being under vacuum seal that long
Another variable that just occurred to me and that is process. We used H2SO4 and Acetic Anhydride to produce the THCO. How was the D-9 THCO in the gummies produced?
Just so we’re all on the same page here, OP has a jar of D8 THCO, the only person discussing shelf life in gummies in this thread is you.
We might could invite @MillerliteRN in, and possibly get an answer on how the THCO in the gummies you stored in your freezer was made (may have been D8 THCO).
My method used baking soda and AA, i can send you some papers thatll explain why baking soda is the perfect catalyst for this reaction. It actually does 2 things, 1 it neutralizes any acetic acid thats produced and 2 it actually breaks the AA apart to start the reaction
