This is where it started for me lol. My interest in pursuing the topic stemmed from my curiosity of decarboxylation temperatures of acidic cannabinoids being roughly on average 15 - 90 degrees C lower than the neutral cannabinoids boiling points. For example THCa decarbs at about 120 C and THC vaporizes at about 155 C. Any data on boiling points for acidic cannabinoids coincides with their approximate decarboxylation temperatures. So… can acidic cannabinoids vaporize without decarboxylating
@cyclopath suggested we look for any literature that looked into quantitating acidic cannabinoids in vapor (some were on aerosols), which brought a lot of interesting studies and IP.
Damn, I keep forgetting that one is chemical and other is physical, like comparing apples with oranges
In addition to the lovely selection of peer review articles, our fellow peers have been talking shop on a way to capture a THCa peak, from a vapor sample, on a chromatogram. This would suggest that acidic cannabinoids can vaporize without decarboxylating.
