I'm sorry but if that synthesis where done with D-Limonene the product would not be a THC, I say this with confidence. He was referring to another oil in orange peels. Phosphoryl oxychloride is highly toxic! Making it clandestinely could be the last thing you do, especially if you don't know what your doing.
There are easier ways to go about this far far safer. Though you have to look into them yourself.
Is synthesis talk allowed here now?
Anyhow if anyone can find a sample of this illusive unknown moss, I'm sure some primitive tests could be done to at least get an idea for the family of compounds it is in. Marquis reagent may be helpful, may be not. I could never recommend someone smoking something that tribes man say if they hold on to for too long they become ill, and the human variable is a large one(placebo, biased to desired results, etc).
Though to assume that because it's active it has olivetol in itself a logical fallacy. Olivetol is known to be largely inactive, not to say that taking it will not effect your body, but there is very little evidence of it getting you enjoyably 'high'. Referance: Cannabinoids By Vincenzo Di Marzo, page 58. If someone knows otherwise please share a reference.
The sad thing is that there is a large amount of folk-lore behind plants/fungi/animals and not enough accessible scientific information. Take every myth/legend with a kilogram of salt, until analysis can be made.
