I was trying to think of an easy way to extract pure THC from herb, here is what i have come up with, tell me if it seems like it should work.


The basic idea is to heat the herb enough to evaporate the THC, then passs the air as small bubbles through 4 separate chambers filled with isopropyl.


How much THC do you think you could pull out of the air passing it as small bubbles trough tall skinny chambers filled with isopropyl?

A mix of THC and the other cannabinoids is much more pleasant in my opinion.

You will still get some vaped cannabinoids together with THC in your bubbles. so it won't be "pure" THC, but it will be the best you can get so far. why do you need that? truth serum? care to tell?

Pure THC isn't exactly a menial task. Your going to need a chromatography column, a set up for reflux(and distilling to reuse solvents).

For the initial extraction chloroform is preferred. Benzene or Naptha will also work, acetone too. Though if acetone is used you will need to bounce it into a nonpolar solvent such as naptha. Your going to need sodium sulfite(I believe) and a few other odds and ends.

There are excellent books on this. Availible on google, or scribd. I'd rather not retype the procedure from memory and miss steps, nor copy another one word for word, when you could go find it yourself.

As others have stated pure THC is pretty psychotic. It isn't very fun for most people. Lots of illogical fear responses.

Good luck. As for truth serum... Naw.
It's been fun. Thanks for all the wisdom.

yep..it's purest ganja extract you can get,and it's almost full spectrum..

kermit,not only other cannabinoids work sinergically with thc,also terpenes and essential oils of weed..

if you want thc you need cromatografy column with the right adsorbant powder.. doesn't know if
alluminium hydroxide,kieselgel,kieselghur,ionic excange resin or wtf..anyway,theese are expensive things and a bit hussle to get them...Confused

Not trying to be a smart ass, but... obtain a prescription for dronabinol (aka marinol). From everything I've heard, pure THC without CBD to attenute its psychoactive effects is quite unpleasant.

Why do you want pure THC?

hmmm, i didn't know PURE THC was so bad. Why would i want it? Why does anyone want anything, i just do.

I thought the point of a vaporizer was to smoke the THC only, or does it also evape other chemicals?

then let me re-phrase, after evaping chemicals out ot MJ, can i bubble it through a solvent to obtain the chemicals, will the solvent pick up most of the chemicals if done right? Thats my main question, if you can use the method of bubbling MJ(GAS) through a solvent to retrieve the chemicals?

It's the other way around. You bubble a solvent through the mj. Definitely use the butane method. Use lots of ventilation (outdoors if possible) and don't smoke or play with sparklers while you are doing the extraction. Look on you tube for teks. Search: Make bho.

From wikipedia:

Quote:

Hash oil is an evaporated solution of tetrahydrocannabinol and various other compounds produced by a solvent extraction of cannabis. Despite the similarity in names, it does not resemble hashish. It can be a very potent medication due to its high THC concentration, which generally varies between 70 - 90 percent.[1] Related Honey oil is a specific type of hash oil produced by certain solvents, most commonly butane, and isopropanol; however, both Naptha and Petroleum Ether have shown to be safer to produce, provide a higher yield, and produces a more purified oil than other methods. Sometimes called butane hash oil or BHO, honey or simply "oil", it is traditionally a dark, viscous liquid made by solvent extraction of cannabis resin.[2]

you vaporize all volatile compounds,thc,cbn,cbd,thc isomers and terpenes and aromatic compounds

I've never tried BHO. But the reason a want to go this route is to insure that what i have to smoke i can just vaporize cleanly for the most part, can you vaporize BHO, and what kind of butane should i get if i where to go that route, isn't normal lighter fluid butane dirty?

Vaporizing regular herb is clean as fuck. Especially if you have a nice vaporizer. No need to make expensive preparations.

Also THC purification requires chromatography. Plus its a sticky mess and difficult to work with.

Vector or Colibri, both are terribly expensive, but clean evap.

Extracts are only worth it with trim or stems. Save up a zip instead of tossing them in the ash tray, and be blessed with a little oil for the trouble.

pure THC is a chiral compound. to isolate it, you'd need to use chiral chromatography.
honey oil is not pure THC, neither is hash.

dronabinol is pure THC.

The only reason to want isolated D9,THC is to make 1acoTHC. but we cant talk about that ;]

a note:a higher ratio thc to other terpenes would be the type of high. one could use isomerization to achieve a much higher thc:cbn/cbd ratio providing for a more cerebral high. but still, this is nothing like pure d9thc. IMO d9 isnt fun. neither is pure cdn cbd. very much like the jwh/am/etc rc's. there is a method outlined on how to produce an even higher rotating isomer than d9 which is more active, but that requires a bit more depth. again, you'll have to search for yourself as this is not the right nexus for that.
