That is basically only one test case of someone trying distillate so I’m not sure how you can draw a conclusion like “rso cures cancer and distillate doesn’t” from that.

There are 113 known cannabinoids.
There are well over 20,000 terpenes.
Start introducing lipids, ketones, phenols, esters, flavonoids etc… there is quite a lot in cannabis which labs simply choose not to quantify or have no existing standards with which to quantify them. This answer requires three things, time, money and effort.

A good answer is probably one you’ll have to pay for in one way or another. Figuring out the answer starts with paying for some (lots?) analytical testing. Why don’t you try out one or two of your favorite theories and actually submit a sample for testing… and then share the data with us here!

i really dont give a shit what your opinion is or if you believe me bro. it’s fucked up not to tell people… rick Simpson did it all the time
@MagisterChemist i don’t think its possible for me to express how much i don’t care about what you think
why are ya’ll always trying to discourage people? I’m not saying it’s the only thing that could have done it but they sure as hell made a huge recovery the moment they started taking RSO.

Rick simpson used naptha. I’m not saying rso is not beneficial, but to state it cured cancer alone could be misleading. A combo of other pharmaceutical drugs/treatments and rso I’m sure has great benefits.

I agree a combination is definitely the best. rso alone won’t do it for some people
And why do you trust our doctors? I hate most doctors and so do thousands of people that are turning to cannabis to get off opiates, psych meds, anti depressants, etc. “Medical professionals” slang big pharma meds 24/7 and charge out the ass for drugs that save people’s lives… They literally recommend irradiating people for cancer over treating with cannabis even though it’s been known for a very long time that cannabis cures cancer…
so are you gonna try to help me figure out why it cures cancer or just argue with me?

I never said RSO didn’t cure cancer… You’re the one who said distillate doesn’t. I asked for proof because that is basically dissing on anyone who’s prescribed it and on the basis that you only knew one person who tried it. That is a weighty accusation to say anyone who gave someone distillate wasn’t helping them. So how am i being discouraging.

man don’t try to act dumb. you talk a lot of shit on here. in my experience distillate is not even close to as good of a medicine as a full spectrum extract. I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve seen. I told you about those 2 people because they are the only 2 i talked to directly (im in the lab 99% of the time). That doesn’t mean i haven’t heard hundreds of people tell me the same exact thing. stop picking apart what i say and try to help for once

you’re right. you don’t always talk shit. you post useful shit also but with a lot of unnecessary drama and bullshit…
you’re still just picking apart what I’m saying instead of trying to figure out what in cannabis cures cancer
Dude I don’t recall having a beef with one single person on this forum. What are these drama fests you’re talking about, because i have no memory of them. And as far as “not trying to figure out what’s in it”, i posted more info on composition in this thread than anyone else in it…

Still trying to argue… If you haven’t noticed, there’s nothing i can do to convince you. I’m done wasting my energy on you

sorry got off topic @VintageCharles i see some amazing medical info coming from this thread. It’s just a theory but i think the terpenes, flavonoids, and whatever else we dont test for and separate while making distillate or diamonds is what actually cures cancer. this would also explain why people that smoke bud all the time get cancer but eating rso kills it… because you destroy a lot of the terps and low boiling point compounds when you smoke it but not as much when you decarb it and eat it… this is also why i put live resin terps in my rso and other similar products
This is a good place to start: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/np50008a001
Then you can check this out: Chemistry and Analysis of Phytocannabinoids and Other Cannabis Constituents | SpringerLink
And if you get bored with those I think @drjackhughes has the best comprehensive chemical assay of the plant that I’ve ever seen but you’d have to be like, extra nice to him to get your hands on it.

Correlation =/= causation. Bad science is bad.

i don’t feel like explaining it all to you but i promise full spectrum is better for treating most medical conditions including cancer
Please, by all means enlighten us since we are all wrong.

TREATING, certainly. Curing? You need to scientifically prove before anybody should believe this.
