Making pure Delta9-THC oil

I believe that all of this is correct, if not, please correct me and I will edit. When I was younger I did a little chemistry, and there has always been a place for it in my mind. I am rehearsing this all from memory, so it will not be word for word quotes of what it came from, but I will note where it came from so you can find it and follow it word for word if you want.

Also, I think you can actually make the Delta9 in soda, I will add this as an edit where I believe it to be possible. And I will test it when I can.

"Citation" Dr.Atomo's weed/THC multiplier: Delta9-THC
(They believed it to kinda be like alchemy for MJ)
Procedure:
First, extract the resins and alkaloids from the plant and keep them suspended in the liquid. Water, alcohol, pure acetone/water. Keep the empty plant material. (and don't try to say acetone isn't safe, I have had much experience with it. It works, it is actually in your body. And your body has a very good system of ridding itself of acetone if any HAPPENS to be left)
Second, put this extraction in a bong. Also add Ptroleum Ether. Stir it a little, and allow it to settle.
Add a hose to the downstem, where you would put your bowl. And blow the acetone/ water/alcohol into the sink or outside in the dirt/grass. This layer contains all the resins.
Collect the layer of Ptroleum Ether, it has all the good stuff in it. So, at this point you have a pure alkaloid extraction.
Add a drop (May have been more precise with measurements, please check before preforming even thinking about trying.) a drop of Acetic acid. This will convert everything that isn't THC yet into THC, and then convert all THC into Delta9-THC. Please PM me or search google if you can't make Acetic.
(Edit: I believe that Acetic acid is what makes soda Acidic. Look it up before wasting your alkaloids, but if measure out how much soda is in the can. Then measure how much it is after adding the alkaloids to it. Wait for it to evaporate back down to where it was with the soda so you know the Ether is gone, and drink or add to another soda)

(If you did soda, next step is not for you, your done)
Next, put the plant material that you saved before, in a pan. Let it turn to ash, and stir it around to make sure. Mix this into the alkaloids and ptroleum ether(It will get rid of any extra Acetic acid left in the mix.), then filter it out.
Allow this to evaporate down to oil, and you will have... Pure(99%<) Delta9-THC

That's it. Have fun.

I remember this experiment from O-chem last semester. Except we didn't use weed.

Hmm im gonna have to try this out friday when i have no classes.

this all just seems scarey as shit....

It's not. All the way to Acetic Acid is 100% safe, as long as you aren't drinking the chemies. And the Acetic part is just a drop, and can maybe be done super safely in soda.

A few observations.
The first part of the prep is a hash oil preparation ... a simple solvent extraction of dry cannabis with petroleum ether (or better, hexanes) will yield the same result.
Cannabis contains no alkaloids of interets.
Acetic acid +cannabinoids + ... sour cannabinoids. No reaction.
Ashing your residual plant waste and mixing that into your oil ... 1) that's just gross and won't improve the oil. 2) Ash hash is by no means 99+% pure THC.

When I was much younger I refined a hexane extract of some good trim to actual 99+% delta-9. This involved the hexane extraction, brief heat treatment of the extract to convert THCA to THC, silica column chromatography to remove less and more polar impurities, and finally molecular distillation of the concentrated fraction under high vacuum. The result was a colorless and nearly odorless (faint piney scent) glassy/gluey viscous liquid. NMR spectroscopy confirmed identity and purity. (it also served as an analysis of the trim: it was 11% by weight THC, and the first extract, after removing solvent and heat-treating, was 89% THC.)

~sigh~ Lab goodies all gone...

cheers 'neer

But check this out. You say there is no reaction, but there is. I'm almost positive, almost. But maybe not. I'll look into it tommorow, it's late here.

my freind gets pure thc drops for his eyes without some of other chem,s it doesnt get you high u cant smoke it ...great for reliving eye pressure but not what you think as drug ...there are over 420 deffernt chem,s in Mj not all of there effects are understood ..or even what they really do to are brain yeah know ..i think your best bet is hash ..

Of the 421 chemicals in marijuana, only 61 are unique to marijuana. The chemicals are known as cannabinoids. One of them, delta-9 THC, produces the psychoactive effect and is the focus of most research. The other 360 chemicals in the marijuana plant are found throughout other natural substances.

We know excatly what it does to your brain through extensive researchs and studying. Every hear of a electroencephalogram (EEG). Its used to monitor brain waves under different stress and substances.
They used EEGs before with people under the influence thc then cannabinoids. Figuring out what which ones do what to what part of the brain. I'm gonna try to dig up the study on this very long but interesting read.

Yeah the first thing I thought when I read this was: "How the F@#$ are you supposed to smoke pure THC molecules?"

What would it even come out to be? Powder? Liquid?

Pure THC is like saying you know everything. It's a fallacy in itself.

I specified at the end... 99%<...So I never did what your saying. And it comes out oil.

ummm acetone causes birth defects its not safe your making poison. if you put trash on the net your going to hurt someone. its funny how everyone on the internet is a doctor, lawyer or a chemist.

I have worked with acetone repeatedly. Once evaporated IT DOES NOTHING. And YOU BLOW IT OUT AND THROW IT AWAY in this experiment. Please think before making snide remarks.

dont take the word of a guy growing yellow plants in a plastic cup.

But believe the guy with no picture? Or reference of experience or evidence?

Plus your just being confrontational for no reason. Stop drinking in the middle of the day.
Again:

YOU THROW AWAY THE ACETONE LAYER IN THIS PROCEDURE, so it doesn't even matter.

Yes but if your discarding it then your not smoking it. Lol its funny how easy it is to make a dumb ass out of your self. Due to not even being able to read properly

May i ask what experience you have in organic chemistry?

I haven't gone through organic chemistry I made that very clear. May I ask your experience in reading?

Acetone is a very common, commonly used chemical. It doesn't take an organic chemist to know what it does. Go read about it dumb ass, first off we have ACETONE IN OUR BODIES. Our body has a very effecient way to get rid of it. Breathing AND urine. We can BREATH acetone out as long as we done intake to much. And that isn't even relevant here BECAUSE:

IN THIS EXPERIMENT YOU DUMP THE ACETONE OUT AND NEVER EVEN LOOK AT IT AGAIN.

OUT, GONE. So...May I ask YOUR experience with ACETONE.

First of Mr. Angry pants, the above quote is not clear on whether or not you have studied a particular branch of chemistry. I was simply asking if you had taken organic chemistry, maybe I was leading my question to more ideas, but thats out of the question now.

2nd and lastly, I never said anything about acetone. I will go on to say that i have had 4 years of chemistry including organic and am currently running a research project on plant alkaloids and phenols to understand more about their reaction on the nervous system. I will also go on to say that anytime my professors or myself handle ANY solvent that we wear the proper gloves and eyewear. This is my last post and view on your thread, although a great topic, I'll take my brain elsewhere.
