Isolation of THCA

BTW, FYI, Dronabinol at least Marinol, is not 100% pure THC, it is allowed by the FDA to have either .5 or 5% I forget, of other Cannabiniods and compounds, I think the most common is delta 8 THC an artifact of the synthesis process, which is active and alters the effects of THC, so again you have not ever taken pure THC, I suspect. I know I am splitting hairs but when you say pure, I have my doubts unless you have the ability to synthesize it and then after purify it repeatedly too 100% via HPLC prep work like I have seen done.

The USP specification for dronabinol is no less than 95% of the natural isomer, and there's no reason why any d8 THC wouldn't be removed from it by chromatography.
Church ran too long.
A quick peek in the Merck Index under THC would have cleared that up easily - it says right there that dronabinol and Marinol are a single, correct isomer. The Petrzilka synthesis and patent is stereospecific all the way.
That's a typical extraction and a good starting point, until you get to the heating ether on a 300C sand bath part. THC is not really compatible with acids capable of making a low pH, so beware of that.
I did not watch HC but I do remember that Marinol/Dronabinol, is only the active (-) isomer. It would be pretty stupid to not be. And a tiny bit of delta 8 THC leftover from the synthesis.

Yes the pill is THC in sesame oil in a soft capsule. But the THC is all the (-) which is the same as found in plants, except the THC for Marinol has been synthesized, there is no THC (+) in Marinol.
HC was wrong. Or at least anyone that said that Marinol/Dronabinol THC is a 50/50 mixture of the (-) and the (+). It is not.
What do you mean by MAFC? The pill is not 50% THC by weight or contents volume. HC was just plain wrong.
-SamS
Thanks for clearing it out and bringing out so valuable information, Big UP.
With the MAFC (manuafacturing process) I was "just" reffering to the HC words/quote about the isomer process yielding 50/50 (-) and (+), but being wrong there is nothing to it.
Much appreciated for Your time taken, to support these threads.

snicker..... OMFG am I gonna get some serious mileage out of that one. BwaaaHaaHaHa

I have stil not been able to try this method due to lack of starting material but it was achieved using dilute NaOH from traditional hashish as referenced in the article posted by G.O. Joe earlier in this thread.
Other then horatios thc-a, there is a picture from analytical360 labs on google images showing a white crystalilline powder with 98 percent THC next to it. On analytical 360 web site under test results, the is a GSC extract that Ousted at 85 percent but on 1.5 is activated
Link to above mentioned extract:

How much thca is in bubble hash water?
Little or none. THC and THCA is not water soluble, some might be floating in it.

It is at really high PH...
