tkolab.co.uk
has good info on THCA tea and chemistry
1. water (under 100 C wont do anything, wont pull it and wont push it to THC9 reformation) its poorly soluble with thca
Despite both being somewhat "polar" (water highly so, THCA moderately so due to its carboxyl group -COOH), they don't dissolve
This carboxyl group is relatively polar due to electronegativity of the oxygen atoms and ability to form hydrogen bonds. This makes THCA more polar than THC
The "acid" (carboxylic acid) in its name comes directly from this carboxyl group, and being an "acid" it can donate a proton (H+)
When THCA is heated, the carboxyl group is released as carbon dioxide (CO2) converting THCA into THC
2. adding an oil (butter, fat, cookin oil, milk) can pull (dissolve thca into the organic layer) it lot better
outta curiosity, what ya do to de-chlorophyll that stuff
