How to Isomerise THC - making the THC Acetate.

[Medical Marijuana]

isomerising!!!!!

Dissolve the hash oil in absolute ethanol or pure methanol in the ratio
of one gram extract to ten grams solvent. There must be no water in
this solution, as the next step is the addition of one drop of 100%
sulfuric acid per gram of extract. Add the acid slowly, drop by drop,
stirring slowly and completely, with a long glass stirring rod. Place a
Pyrex pot containing the extract-alcohol-acid solution into the
refluxing apparatus and reflux for two hours. The acid will not
evaporate and will remain in the Pyrex pot. Allow to cool. Take the
cooled solution, pour with an equal volume of water and 1/2 volume of
petroleum ether into the ether-extraction apparatus (separation funnel).
Allow to settle, and drain the ether extract layer. This leaves an
ether-extract-acid mix from which the acid must be purged. To
accomplish this, pour the ether-extract-solution into four volumes of 5%
sodium bicarbonate solution (1 gram bicarb. in 20 grams of water). This
will neutralize the acid, releasing CO2 and leaving a solution of sodium
sulphate. Allow this to settle into layers, then drain the
ether-extract layer. Mix the ether-extract solution with an equal
volume of pure water and let it separate. Drain off the ether-extract
layer. Evaporate the ether and what remains is hash oil in which all of
the cannabinoids have been converted into THC
Oh my, having just typed all this in, I thought to check my copy of
"Cannabis Alchemy" for a method. Not only does it concur with this
method of isomerization, it has lots of whiz hints on fractionally
distilling hash oil to get an ultra-pure product. It also claims that
if you convert THC to its acetate, it becomes very potent and
psychedelic.

WARNING

Before boiling petrols and ether - Get a flow hood with external venting.

Confirm via GCMS there is no adulterants left in your "purified" product.

Make sure all motors are brushless, no homebrew crap, including flowhood.

Similiar in theory to FLIR, TDT air scans can be done around the home to alert to the presence of various compounds used in chemistry. Unlike FLIR -
this does not require a warrant since it is the ambient air around said lab, is completely non invasive and a dead giveaway.

Or just grow the green, ditch the chemistry.

You forgot "Kids, don't try this at home". A good resource to test for residual adulterants is "Gas Chromatic Mass Spectrometers R Us" in the phone book. Sorry - couldn't help myself.
