synthetic THC

I've also seen an article in one of the grow magazines that mentioned that Thai strains also have a significant level of THCV (it's the THC analogue with a propyl, instead of a pentyl chain attached to the aromatic nucleus). They reckoned that it contributed towards the distinct "trippiness" of smoking Thai strains

I read somewhere that THCV usually is found in strains from around the equator, like african strains too.
 
You can actually synthesize olivetol, but as many say... If you have to ask how, you shouldn't really be doing it in the first place

I hate this answer, sorry.
I mean I know a few things about chemistry (I've been studying it for a few time) but I'm not a genius and I can't just guess how to synthetise THC or olivetol (or any other organic compound) : I need a reciepe, that doesn't mean "if I have to ask how, I should not attempt it", that just means I know enough chemistry to correctly follow a reciepe, but I'm not smart enough to invent the synthesis by myself (if I would be such a great chemist, I would probably be searching for new psychedelic compounds instead of trying to synthetise common thc)
;)

The reciepe for extracting from plants or synthetising citral & olivetol I couldn't find...

OK

If you don't know how to do a literature search in order to find a synthetic route for olivetol, then you haven't spent much time doing research in libraries, and since that is a large part of learning when it comes to synthetic organic chemistry, you won't have the experience to carry out a large range of synthetic reactions.

The comment was mainly aimed at anyone who has carried out a RP/I synth of meth, or an oxidation to produce methcathinone, starting from (pseudo)ephedrine. Being able to do that, is a long long way from being a decent (read: safe) organic chemist; same way that being able to cook omlettes does not qualify you as a cordon bleu chef

OK

you don't know me, you don't have any idea of my chemistry abilities (no matter if they are good or not), you don't know how long I have been searching for olivetol synthesis (and I did hell search for a long time, in many chemistry library, but sorry it seems I wasn't lucky enough because my search just were not sucessful)...
This crude judgment about what I was able to do or not make me think you did talk quite wisely...
but maybe you could help me to find a reciepe for olivetol, I read it, and I'll just see if I can do it or not...probably my own judgment on my ability to perform a specific reciepe would be of better value than this wise"you're not smart enough to find the reciepe, so you're not smart enough to make a custom synthesis"....wich I read was described as a fairly simple one.
Better give knowledge to someone before assuming one isn't able use this knowledge (if a reciepe would seem to complicated to me, I would just not attempt it lol).

piece of advice from a "not able to do" kitchen chemist: be wise when considering at people you don't even know shit about, just don't make an idea of a person you've never met. That just has no sense. :\

Well for fuck's sake, it's 3,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and butyl magnesium bromide or butyllithium. Hydrolyse and reduce with RP/I to get olivetol (5-pentylresorcinol).

Thats what I mean, like knowing about the reaction of grignard reagents (do you know about handling these?)

OK I don't know you, but I've got a pretty good idea of your organic chemistry abilities and skill. Have you heard of Chemical Abstracts? Doesn't look like it, or you'd have at least two different routes by now

Everybody reveals something about themselves as soon as they allow others to see what they write. I don't know if you'll be a good parent, or whether you're kind to cats and dogs, but I do know that you don't know much about organic chemistry reaction mechanisms.

Sort of proves my original point, doesn't it? The first step looks easy enough, but get something wrong and it can be very dangerous

Yep I know about these reagents (I have enough chemistry books at home as I'm in love with chemistry since I'm 8-10 years old)...well I'm french, the name "chemical abstracts" talk to me, but I don't remember it...maybe you're right about one thing, my internet english searches could have been too superficial, I don't deny it, but that doesn't mean I can't do the reciepe, that just mean I may have been to lazy to find it :-)
Now I know more about the reciepe (thanks to you), I'm going to make some more research about the reagents, risks, and tips about this reaction, and maybe I'll forget about doing it, or maybe not.
As you said I may need to learn more about a chemistry process before attempting it, and of course I always learn before attempting any chemistry process...I don't do anything until I have enough knowledge about what I'm going to do.
Don't worry, what I cannot do I know, and if so, I just don't. I'm reasonable enough not to put myself in danger going through chemical reactions I can't handle just for getting high.
Thanks.
