Cannabidiol (CBD) Isomerization to Psychoactive Cannabinoids

[MuricanSpirit]

So I mixed now 20g food grade soda (I fucked up anyway before so why not continue). Mixed it with a stirring bar for about 1h. There wasn't enough Ethanol to seperate so I added (before stirring) 40ml Ethanol.

Removed the top layer with a syringe - funny, it ended up being 50ml so about 13ml are still stuck in the soda - and throwed it into a cooking pot (lowest heating point 56°).

Gonna smoke that shit soon enough. It still smells but but mucher better than before.

Just so you know, after the reaction, it is distilled again or maybe twice, in order to clean it up and remove reaction byproducts

Usually pure CBD powder lends itself to isomerization, I don’t know how pure the process goes with oil

 

[mycelium]

I think anyone who is making it for sales should use isolate, and DISTILL END PRODUCT AT LEAST ONE TIME

 

[PossumKid]

Can you ask them what purity it is?
Usually, if it's isolate, it should be good to go, but the fact it also says "broad spectrum" confuses me a bit.

 

[mycelium]

Broad spectrum means all cannabinoids, not isolated like CBD isolate

I love vape with TGK ... I think I can do:

1. Start reaction in ethanol with acetic acid for 12-24h.
2. After - we evaporate all the ethanol and acetic acid
3. Pour the resin with a mixture of glycerol and propylene glycol, dissolving gravs completely
4. Pour into a comfortable jar and smoke

The issue of health safety - alcohol and acetic acid should clearly not be synthetic - only food (We make THC from the CBD using trembling and sugar, aahahhaha)

Experienced isomerization specialists - what do you think? Is it worth a try?

 

[WillD]

You do not have to evaporate it. You can dilute with water and separate the oil if you use ethanol.

 

[Kvadprime]

Ok! I try to do it, thx!!

But 5g cbd in my town i cant get with good price for first try

I try with 1g cbd in 10ml ethanol with ~1ml AcOH

Thx!!!!!!!

The reaction time can be a little longer than we wrote before. You need to examine to choose the best time if you do not have the opportunity to make an analyst.

what substitutes can i use for Et2O?

 

[WillD]

We need more details to a specific task.

Yeah, I’m probably going to end up just running it a few diff ways, I said HCl purely because I have some lol
I saw someone synthesise some p-tsa the other day and it was far less violent than I’d expected so I’ll probably whip some of that up and also give the citric acid method a go also.

 

[Rabidreject]

In terms of vacuum distilling out the product for purification, I assume I’ll be able to vacuum distil to separate the d9 and d8 right? If I use a collumn?

@Rabidreject No sir, they come out at same temp.
It's damn near impossible, even with chromatography and lots of solvent, and this is from the professionals over at future
