It seems to me, that once you dissolve Cannabinoids in alcohol a chemical reaction occurs which would technically make an analog to THC. Then, once oxygen hits the exposed Cannabinoids another reaction occurs taking it one step further than an analog. Would the end result be a legal to consume product?
Does Isopropyl extraction create a legal compound?

If you post the same dumb question in TWO different places does that make it a smart question?

I have a question, how do you smoke ISO? I have PLENTY of bud and I bought some ISO alcohol to do an ISO extraction but then realized that I wouldn't know what in the hell to do with it once I have it. I'm from the south and I'm 40's, never seen it, we just don't do that kinda stuff 'round here.

You can smoke it on top of a bowl, just like we used to crumble hash onto. I'm an old man in my 40s as well, but lots of people use those new fangled nails with them. I mix mine with PG and EJ Mix and vape it like an ecig. You can find lots on it in the Concentrates section. I make mine with 100% ethanol rather than ISO but essentially the same thing.

Thanks Bro, makes sense just do it the same way I'd smoke hash. Ok, simple.

Or if you smoke joints. Smear it across half the paper. The end you're going to light up. Roll up a fatty and get ripped. Bonus points if you smoke it with a buddy. Used ISO a few times on sugar leaf/scraps.

I like to make sure my bong stem is SUPER clean, I pack a fat bowl and dribble my hash all over it... I tell people "its clogged so hit extra hard"....

Not exactly, at least in the Golden State. Our lawyers advised us that any chemical conversion process involving cannabis is prohibited in California; however, extraction processes that use water and CO2 are NOT illegal. So bubble hash and super critical extraction using CO2 will not land us in the pokey.
Reason is the law was written very broadly to address the meth problem. If the legal statute defined specific chemicals and processes the meth cooks would just find a slightly different combination, one that is not specified by statute, and cook away. So the legalese states that any "chemical conversion" process is illegal. Using chemicals like alcohol, butane, hexane, propane, etc. are treated by the law just like you had a meth lab. Not a risk we were willing to assume so we went the super critical CO2 route and never looked back.
Water is not classified as a chemical and neither is CO2 - it's a gas, gas, gas ...

You can dab it like bho, or top it on bowl. If you make it, make sure to use 99% not 50, 70 or 91%. Tom Thumb is the only place I've ever seen it. Nasty ass reclaim using 99% I vacuum purge it while I'm heating it, to cut down on the time..you can eat it or give it to your friends, but I don't smoke it myself

Thanks for the advice bro. I grabbed the 91% but I ain't a problem to get some 99. I'll get it done, I'm kinda excited to try something new.

Weed isn't illegal. THC is. If a lab test shows THC its a controlled substance federally at least.
Knew a dude that had two pounds of ditch weed in his trunk. Busted. In court, his attorney got the charges dropped due to failure of the evidence to test positive.

.....I smoke my qwiso in a steamroller with stainless steele brillo,pot scrubbing mesh stuff .....like a crackhead..lol.Can't beat a dab of qwiso in a clean glass pipe!For myself after a few hits(it's best to load one hit at a time)the hash builds up on the screen and you can get good hits without reloading for awhile until it starts to burn and taste bad,then I just put in a new piece of brillo.It works for me.Also if you have a wax pen vape,they work too but the hits aren't as satisfying as with a pipe and jet flame light.

Alright first, nothing is altered. Once the Iso dries you have a mix of typical compounds and the degraded products, delta 8 etc,
Second, there are specific properties of THC cbd etc that allows them to bind to receptors. Altering the structure changes binding affinity, what your describing would be a much less potent compound.
Lastly, it would still be illegal
And snaps never left..maybe 1 day after that contest but he's been around

I wanna say too that a good dab for me is the size of a bb....and that i use and have been using 91% iso for yrs(2..lol)From the south and in my 40's too

You can use 91%, hell you can use 50% if you really wanted to.. But we shoot for purity, lol. I am from the south and in my 30's and use concentrate apparatus aka glass oil rig and torch. Just my opinion, atmos makes the best pens...

I'm knocking down your 99% suggestion,just saying because the 99% is harder to find and that 91% is fine to use and makes a pure product,no doubt.I would love to take some dabs outta your fancy high dollar rig,bro
..but I am a simple,cheap,easy to please fella and a $5 steamroller is a lot more discreet with a houseful of kids running around,and or visitors that don't smoke coming around all the time.I appreciate the atmos shout out,been looking for a good pen for wax and oil.
