converting THC to its acetate makes it psychedelic

~5% acetic acid is a very long way from acetic anhydride.
Not to mention the world of shit you end up in if you get caught with it. It's the essential reagent for converting morphine into heroin. I'd rather get caught with a bottle of methylamine.

I didn't say acetic anhidride or even glacial but good old vinegar - btw, if you wind up with a lot of wine left over from parties, try it, it makes the best vinegar you have ever tasted. Preserve the mother and the the next pass, using the mother (looks like a placentia) in the next batch reduced your time considerably.

I would rather just stay natural to be honest, it does sound like an interesting thing to try though. ;-)

Too bad you're not buying Acetic Anhydride, Benzene, nor Petroleum Ether...
Only acetic anhydride is unavaliable for one and anyone can make acetic anhydride. To make acetic anhydride you need acetone and a ketene lamp to make ketene which when touchs water becomes acetic acid. once all the water is converted into acetic acid or if you start with glacial acetic acid as your reactant with the ketene, the ketene reacts with acetic acid and each becomes acetic anhydride. Honestly if he can purify the resins as well as he writes out how to do it he can pull it off. Personally I'd love to try thc acetate if only for that fact that it is a white powder that dissolves in water, what cop would ever think to test water for thc? then again I'm legal in my state.

On a personal note I have every confidence in being able to make acetic anhydride but I have no conficence in producing laboratory grade pure materials. There for I would never try this myself but I would love to see someone with more lab experience do it.

One last thing, why does it seem like people love to tell some one else they can't do somthing like the ghb statement ghb is not cleaner it is sold as such online as an attempt to hide what it is, its precursers are used as paint stripper but so are the same solvents big pharma had whatever prescription pills API that you have ever taken in. Don't think that just because your pill is white it was never dissolved in acetone or benzene or chloroform or some other "paint stripper"
Acetic anhydride is HEAVILY regulated by the DEA. It is considered a direct precursor to HEROIN (can be used as a single step refiner of heroin from opium compounds). Possession of Acetic anhydride is tantamount to heroin possession! You can be charged with manufacture of heroin if you have any natural/synthetic opium compounds found on the same property.....If it's morphine - your toast! BIG FEDERAL TIME!

And your correct,,,,your going to have a purity problem!

Acetic anhydride, can be openly sourced all over the net even ebay has listings. I dont know anything about its legal status, but its not to uncommon, It's still used in some types of photography often times old photo labs have gallons laying around.
