TEK Converting CBD to THC using only Zeolite and heat.

[marshallcooper]

I'm not convinced that this will be effective.

You can simply shine a bright flashlight at the end-product to become aware of the amount of zeolite in it, my own results clearly show that simple filters and decanting are not fully effective in removing the zeolite.

It's best practice to only take it orally if you cannot filter all of it. Your lungs are a very precious organ after all.

it's more to try to use less solvent. I need 1L for 100g with my current decantation method.

In this video at 8:00

the guy does it with a 2.5um filter paper but he accelerates and cut the video so I'm afraid it took him an exageratly long time. And the buchner 200mm is $300 and 100 paper filters are $100 so I wouldn't like to invest that to have a slow process.

My second batch changed from a pinkish oil to a yellow one. I converted the CBD at lower temps than the first batch and it did reduce to an orange-pink oil after the solvent was gone. Now it's a very pale yellow after sitting around for a couple of weeks.

what solvent did you use and how did you get rid of the zeolite?

Finally got around to giving this a go.

Instead of rolling it into a ball I used a series of careful folds in the foil so the end result was like a tightly wrapped flat envelope. I used baking paper for the first inner parcel as I heard it would make removing the resin easier. The result was grayish brown like hash but sticky like resin.

I think my paper was too brittle so I simply broke up the parcel and dissolved the resin into a jar of hexane. The zeolite powder settles very quickly in this solvent.

To filter I just used a small funnel and stuffed pieces of cotton balls into it. I used the pointy end of a meat thermometer to stab them down as hard as I could, compacting them as much as possible. Leaving the zeolite in the jar, I slowly poured away the solvent through the funnel into another jar. The result was completely clear like pure hexane with a very faint warm orange-pink color.

The final product after evaporation was definitely more on the pink side. I just bong vaped a few pinheads worth and it definitely does the trick. This feels not too heady and quite relaxing, a pleasant surprise.
