This is the problem with cannabis science. Too much dick sizing, not enough actual science.
You're claim of "2 years" is ambiguous at best.
I'll ask one more time for an ACTUAL source, but I really don't think you can do it.
"The cooler the storage temperature, the longer the resin maintains freshness and potency..."
Thanks for your control group
#2: Do you know hot freaking hot 47 degrees Celsius is?
So true and this whole threads proof of thatThis is the problem with cannabis science. Too much dick sizing, not enough actual science.
A chemical breaks down and changes specifically because of the interaction between it and factors like light, moisture, temperature, air, etc. You know... the factors directly affected by storage. These are the least irrelevant factors when it comes to reactions like decarboxylation. Suggesting their effect is negligible or "nitpicking" is the most enormous kind of absurdity.
The main disagreement I have is your statement that decarbing and cooking can easily destroy THC. If you're baking, the temps aren't even getting near to that.
OF COURSE storage has an effect on the decarboxylation process.
..eventually even in frozen storage, all of the THC decomposes, changing primarily into CBN.
In short, the longer stored, no matter what the storage conditions, the lower its potency.
I have some wax that not only has not decarbed the THC at all (see test results), but there is also DTHC in there that has not converted either.
Is anyone familiar with this DTHC stuff?
THC: 0%
THCA 76.1%
DTHC: 4.8%
CBD: 0%
CBDA: 0%
CBN: 0%
Test Date: 4/11/2015
Best explanation I've seen for this, and I've been looking for years.I know this is old but I haven't seen anyone come up with an answer to the DTHC thing.
After an initial search i did find some inquiries into what dTHC was. There were some bullshit answers about being labeled improperly or the d standing for delta or decarboxylated. This seemed unlikely because the posters said there was THC listed as well, also, in the list above there is both THC and THCa. So scratch that theory.
Now this is when i noticed that the 'd' in these posts was lower case. Typically when you have a lowercase 'd' before a chemical it stands for dextro, such as with d-Amphetamine(adderall). I wasn't completely sure that this applied to non-alkaloids, but after another quick search for dextro THC. I found this article by shulgin confirming that THC does have a dextro and levo isomers.

So next i went on to another search and after a few tries i was able to discover that the levo or (-) optical-isomer of THC is the only form found naturally in the plant. Therefore it would make sense for the dextro or (+) optical-isomer to be labeled as dTHC.
