Photon is a busy guy. He also isnāt on the forum but once a month or so. If thereās a delay, it could be for any number of reasons, including that the particular NDA used by thewilly could infringe on oneās ability to offer consulting. He also just may not have had time. Iāll ask him when I talk to him later today.
We all know more info is coming. Why not just relax and keep on keepinā on?!
So, if the key to getting higher is more CO2, Iām gonna take a drag off a joint and huff a tank of CO2!
If CO2 causes better lung expansion for better absorption, why donāt athletes do iron lungs pumping in equal parts of O2 and CO2 to avoid muscle fatigue?
Iāll tell ya whyā¦
Over absorption of CO2 (not that smoking a gram of THCA would be enough) will cause blood acidosis causing the kidneys to produce more bicarbonate to adjust blood PH. Not a good thing which is why your body has a fail safe to adjust this. Which is why the lungs, after absorption of inhaled atmospheric air, dispels the waste product of breathing air. Which isā¦
Wait for itā¦
CO2!
Thatās also why they can check for acidosis through breathe tests.
The alveoli in the lungs store more oxygen also in instances where oxygen levels are lower in the blood as a fail safe as well. A bunch of storage tanks if you willā¦thatās why they take blood gases (via an arterial draw via vein) because the body hasnāt had time to absorb what ever inhalant you inhaled. More accurate readings for gas poisoning.
Has to be a balance.
Just to be clear, I do not support his previous statements. Was just correcting his reference to carbon density since elemental carbon is not generated in the process he is referring to.
Agreed.
Iām plenty relaxed, concerned, sure, but Iām not stressed or upset. I do feel bad for having caused @TheWillBilly stress, especially considering he thinks Iām doing it intentionally. Even after stating multiple times that I just want them to be safe.
Blue diamonds look cool as hell, and Iām an advocate for innovation in every form, provided it is not at the sacrifice of wellbeing or progress. Iāll admit, I want to know how they are made, not so that I can make them though, and I certainly donāt want his specific SOP. Itās not really in my nature to want to copy anyone elseās work, which is why I R&Dād my own CRC SOP. Iāll reiterateā¦ I just want to have some sort of affirmation that they are relatively safe.
I kinda feel a bit responsible for this one, maybe anyway.
I havent seen this anecdote or claim shared or said before by anyone else other than my self and now Willy. A couple times and places Ive said almost exactly the same reasoning and wording that thca is stronger because of the co2 expansion/ extra push.
Willy def could have come up with this independently, its not that large of stretch, great minds think alike 
Though I will say I dont think this is whats happening, i did say it in jest.
Also, I havent tried anything else yet, im not looking to market or make these for sale so my focus is elsewhere. If I was I would be trying to cocrystallize with terpenes that are also crystalline. Most of yaāll can probably find menthol crystals in your local vape stores or overnighted via amazonā¦
It was discussed decently in this thread on icmag:
I clicked the link but got this: āThat action could not be completed. Please try again, and if this occurs again please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message.ā
Edit: Searched for it on google and got the same message, perhaps it got taken down?
Stop hating bro
Looks like the icmag forums are having issues at the moment
cause you never went to school for chemistryā¦ 
so the final compound is a salt?
āSaLtā
Is this something the wealthy say to the wealthy? Cause Iām just here for the science dude.
No I did the military and then came back and did the a&p program and a little bit of botany with some random classes sprinkled in lol.
Now Iāve got a dream job in HVAC with nowhere to go but up 
Iām a firm believer in that saying āJack of all trades, Master of none. Though oftentimes better than a master of one.ā
You guys are damn smart with chemistry here I will say that!
Iāve learned enough from everyone here to be able to make diamonds myself but this blue diamond tek is simply beyond me until I hear the process from someone or see it lol.
Im just excited to try them when I meet the guys in April!
plus thats how the science community actually operates. information is shared openly in order to push EVERYONE to be their absolute best.
Amazing! Apologies for the comment then my manā¦ so glad you are learning and working towards bettering yourself and contributing to the field!
But absolutely not how the cannabis industry works.
