Would be super curious to see sources on this - not skeptical, just something good to have bookmarked

Marinol is just synthetic D9 that has gone through countless safety trials, but American chemists have been making synthetic cannabinoids since the 1940s - no doubt thereās been some deaths here and there from consumption

Itās funny how some guys will talk about how ādangerousā conversions are while squeezing 50lbs of high pressure solvent through a bunch of toobs. I believe the risk is relative if the operator is experienced and knows what they are doing in order to operate safely. Not to mention working in a well organized/well setup facility.

From my reading here it appears a beloved friend to many was lost here to making conversions
Although hydrogenation if indeed is what he was doing that is obviously dangerous due to the nature of hydrogen
Not to say extraction is not dangerous it surely is

Absolutely! Davidās is a sad story as i believe he was an intelligent person and it seems like he knew what he was doing. Shit still happens. I just wanted to mention that risk is always present in the lab but it is most certainly relative to what youāre working with.

Dont be hating on my food grade nylon pipe setup, I cross referenced a safety data sheet and theres no risk of solvent leeching below 74c, and purging at 240f is great for low vac pressure setups if youre like me and dont care about terps because you cant really taste much anyways. I even use N-butane for less risiduals. And good ol fashion everclear can get rid of some lipids. Yeah, I run it old school, but its for personal use anyways, Id never share it.

No hate brother. Iām sure you know what you are doing as it pertains to your setup. I didnāt start clean, but Iāve got a VERY safe closed loop SS reactor and we have very well defined SOPs as it pertains to our setup. Safety can be achieved even if you donāt quite start out that way.

All jokes aside I said here once there is no right way, but there sure is a wrong way. Blowing yourself up.
Right way is all down to personal preference as 2-3 different methods can yield identical or near identical results. Not just in cannabis.
make industrial cannabis safe and all that but in the end if the end-user knows the risks and still decides to consume thenā¦ Who cares.

I expected more of a deep dive on this topic. General consensus is this is sensational journalism? Iāve seen less thco products lately around headshops/gas stations. Shelves are all d8 at the moment, or d9 edibles.

Probably due to the demand and sketchiness of these products.
Customers probably got sketchy of the HHC and THC-O-A and decided D8 is just enough.
Vinegar is about 4-6% acetic acid so they better donāt eat a salad at work.
do you know the approx temp of combustion for a mere pot? is it more or less than the novel systems?
my question here: is there any different and safer way of making thc a more brain barrier crossing, bioavailable molecule? I was very happy with this idea (for smoking product) and how easy its āsynthesisā was. this is really bad news.
Anybody got new info on this? All I can find is the original paper from last year.
