THC distillate does not necessarily lose potency over time.
However, its potency can degrade if not stored properly.
The average shelf life of THC distillate is between 12 and 24 months.
This depends on how well it is stored.
Storing THC distillate in a cool, dark place away from heat, light, and air can help maintain its potency for a longer period.
During the distillation process, THC is separated from other compounds in a thin film evaporator.
This process involves heating the distillate to activate the psychoactive effects of THC.
This is a process called decarboxylation.
If the decarboxylation temperature is not reached during distillation, it needs to be carried out in an intermediate step before distillation.
Vacuum distillation is commonly used in the isolation of high purity THC or CBD for medicinal and recreational applications.
Distillation under vacuum conditions lowers the boiling points of terpenes, THC, and CBD.
This makes it easier to separate and isolate these compounds.
Vacuum conditions also help remove oxygen, reducing the risk of oxidation and thermal decomposition.
Short-path distillation is often used in cannabis applications to separate and extract individual compounds with different boiling points.
This technique allows for the consolidation of specific compounds to create a desired product with high purity.
Fractional short-path distillation is commonly used when working with THC to extract the various compounds present in cannabis.
In summary, THC distillate can maintain its potency if stored properly.
It is important to consider factors such as storage conditions and the decarboxylation process during distillation.
Short-path distillation is a technique used to separate and extract individual compounds in cannabis, including THC.
