DEA Affirmatively States that THCO is a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance

If this were true youd always have cbd in d9 disty which isnt true

Why would “thca synthase has been shown to make CBDA in vitro" mean “there MUST be CBD in all THC distillate”?!?

Scihub sys it doesn’t have the paper I’m refereing to, but @seth posted a pre-print for us.

@seth

Synthases (THCA, CBDA, and CBCA) are promiscuous and all retain the ability to create many different chemical products depending on what precursors they are fed. See attached paper from 2018. Elucidation of structure-function relationship of THCA and CBDA synthase from Cannabis sativa L.pdf (1.1 MB)

I have no idea if any of their “unknowns” are D8, but I personally wouldn’t rule it out simply because you don’t think it’s a possibility…

@Kingofthekush420

I wonder if your testing method could be converting d8 from d9 if heat can turn cbd into d9

would it not then create a similar ratio of D8 in his high D9 samples?

a BETTER fit to the data would be the proposal that @Dr_Jebril’s method turns some of his CBD to D8

that accounts for ratio with D9 not being the same…which your hypothesis does not.

@Kingofthekush420

Either way d8 isnt produced by the plant its a result of environmental factors whether its from a hydride shift or oxidation

IMO that doesn’t fit all the data…

we actually have the molecular modelling software and appropriate structures required to look at the problem…it should be relatively easy to show I’m wrong computationally.
