There is a mystery peak near d8 that is sometimes mistaken for it. I’ve talked about it before but didn’t post, I will try to this week.
Also d8 can be made on accident from high d9 oil. When people cared more about water clear d9 it was always kind of a bragging right to be able to make it with only d9 and not convert the d9 into d8.
Acidic carbons, acidic silica, acidic clay all help strip colors and can all cause conversion from d9 to d8 after redistillation. It’s possible this oil went through a color remediation process that used one of the mentioned consumables.
Pesticides are another clue that this is not conversion. I would think bifenezate wouldn’t be there if it were converted from cbd, which is easy to remediate through crystallizing again.
No way lol. I see 2-3% D8 in tons of samples that were not made from CBD. Very common in hydrocarbon extracts ran through CRC. All different extractors (many are members here), all different crc SOP’s. Pretty sure most labs just don’t care enough to differentiate the D8 when they’re told it’s a D9 sample but it’s there. Try telling the lab there’s a little D8 added and suddenly they will find what was always there.
Well no conversion is good to me. Also get this, I spoke to the rep of this brand, I used to know the owner of the brand directly but since stopped working with him, probably about 8 months ago I dropped him. Anyway, the rep, he said it’s cheaper and theres no difference when I asked him about the converted liter and said I think his carts are using converted dist. Said he can “put in a special request for better distillate” but I know he won’t, he thinks they’re true high quality when its food grade terpenes and well, questionable distillate to say the least.
Essentially he said, “it’s cheaper and people don’t care or notice and I can request higher quality I just don’t have a reason too”
