// Definition
Chemical process demonstrated by Mechoulam and co-workers showing that CBD can be converted to THC using acid catalysis. Under gastric (stomach acid) conditions, CBD can cyclize to THC, though this remains debated for oral dosing relevance. Hemp CBD extractions by Tony and Roi Concentrates yielded 7-14.2% THC from pure hemp material, tested through MDM Labs on Vancouver Island.
// From the Episode
Major discussion point in ep 124. Skunkman Sam explains nobody converts CBD to THC commercially because it's cheaper to buy THC on the open market. Zynerba Pharmaceuticals study and Ethan Russo paper referenced. Japanese experimental study on gut acid conversion also discussed. Martin Lee notes human studies showed zero THC in blood serum after CBD administration.
