Has there been a coa on here of a conversion with less d8?
Iām not sure what you mean by normal distillate. Most conversions contain them. Iāve seen some with very little present.

THC distillate derived from THCa plant material, not converted
D9 distillate almost always has some amount of isomerization but iso d8 isnāt a likely candidate in my opinion

Theyāre synthetic byproducts of the CBD isomerization reaction when making d8. I doubt theyāre made through those pathways.
Theyāre in the acetates, too.

Iāve seen it a bunch of times. Including in something apothecary made from hemp without even distilling after (to my knowledge).
I do not know if CRC is converting the CBD to D8 or what exactly is happening as I do not know the CBD/D9 content before itās CRCād. All I can say for certain is thereās some rearrangement going on just with just CRC which is not surprising when you have acid activated filter media and a lot of surface area. Iāve seen ~5:1 D9:D8 without anything other than CRCād BHO (no distilling) on multiple samples.
Judging by how common it seems to be, my money is on this happening much more than people think it does. Some labs might still not be separating D8/D9 when they donāt expect to see a conversion.

I think youāre thinking of THCa-A and THCa-B which would indicate it was converted THCA
Or exo-THC has been suggested to be a marker of a conversion but it still shows up in distillate anyway

No, Iām just trying to say conventionally derived Delta 9 thc distillate
Isnāt exo also present in heat degradation remediated products?

This looks like a natural extract (presence of usual minors) which was slightly altered to d8 upon decarb/distillation. CBD content is a bit higher than expected (should be lower than CBC). But that could be due to contamination during production, or during analysis (carry over from a previous CBD rich samples).
Otherwise could be a conversion, but following a less conventional route, and with further addition of CBC/CBG isolates, plus a confusion on d9-thcv during testā¦ sounds more elusive.
The only way to ensure origin would be to get the chromatogram and track for the fingerprint of purely synthetic product (eg exo thc). Would need to compare data of the same method applied to natural flowers, and to converted products.

Itās a converted liter Iād bet.
90%+ d9 conversions are in the wild now by multiple parties.
The 3.17% d8 is a dead give away in my mind.
That with the 1.43% CBD and 0.5% CBN makes for 5% is cbd or cbd converted d8/cbn.
The almost 1% cbg (0.89%) is the only thing that has me thrown off, but maybe was added to the final product or this was a mix of products vs a made distillate.
The cbg has me scratching my head.
5% = cbd or known cbd conversion products
91% = d9
1% = cbg
Iām still leaning towards conversion product or some kind of mix
That cbg peak is super close to the d9thc on the GC. I can see how someone injecting the sample could easily count some cbg as d9 and vice versa. We had nearly 5% cbg come back from a reputable lab testing nearly pure d9thcaā¦
Check this out. This is our calibration solution and look how close the d9 and cbg peaks are compared to the rest.

Stoked weāre about to get some in-house fun rolling too.
Pure/Flash System gets setup soon.
Already seeing the struggles in Oklahoma lol, canāt wait for results back on stones.

So is the final consensus that this is a converted liter?
i think only the maker knows 100%. but if i was putting my money on itā¦ i would bet converted.

It also has full panel testing.
Most distillate fails and this is clean as Bolivian blow

im usually the conversion hater but this is good enough for edibles 100%ā¦ i still to my guns as i wouldnt wanna vape this just given the unknown. Seems like a good deal for edibles though! all day long!

d8 can be made from d9 (and I believe d9 is the intermediary step between cbd and d8 in any case).

This depends on column and method. With thd method I use, d8/d9/cbg come separated by 30 seconds between each. There are even more minors in between (d7, d6?)Here they use GC-MS so there is chance that they are more confident on the ID of each cannabinoids.
