That has nothing to do with any point I'm trying to make at all. All I was saying is that THC % is not % of weight of the sample i.e. 15% THC = .15 grams THC/gram of bud is not accurate. Nothing you have posted has said otherwise in any way, shape, or form. It's like you posted random...

Did you really go to college? I don't believe you.

All that gives you is the protocol for doing the test and a quantitative analysis doesn't equal weight. What are you saying they are testing it against?

Again, what's your point, because they say so? Just tell me how you think they get the weight of THC when they don't have a pure standard of all compounds found in cannabis. It's simple logic, size does not relate to mass and if there are unknowns how could you determine the mass of one compound...

IF they don't know the mass of the other compounds how can they determine the weight of THC? [B][B][U][SIZE=5] I never said anything to the contrary.

So your telling me there is a pure standard for every compound found in cannabis? Seeing as they are still discovering cannbinoids I find it hard to believe they a standard for something they don't know exists or even the ones they can't test for. If your going to say I'm wrong you could at...

Because it simulates the smoking of marijuana and what you actually consume. As to you not being able to understand post 292 I didn't figure most people would and why I tried other ways to express my point. As for a pure standard, no they don't have one. They would need a pure standard for every...

No it's not, it's impossible to say a line of seeds has a consistent thc %. Even the % can be debated depending on the type of test, testing conditions, the variables used in the test, and the competency of the person evaluating the test.

The THC % will refer to the fact that THC accounts for the total peak area recorded in the chromatogram under the those specific method conditions.Two Peaks produced may have similar heights or areas but if the the response/unit concentration is not identical for each compound producing that...

Do you mean the Cup got raided?

I'm pretty sure they didn't get that far and I'm pretty sure the event is done for this year.

It was actually held outside Amsterdam this year and is why some are speculating as to why the raid happened.

http://www.alibongo.co.uk/blog/competition-give-aways/police-raid-shock-at-2011-high-times-cannabis-cup Up to 200 cops raid the cannabis cup searching everyone and taking further action with those in possession of more than 5 grams.

Testing with heat is like smoking it or heating during the cooking process HPLC doesn't account for cannabinoid degradation do to this and doesn't help you in any way understand the potency more than GC.

How about you stop trying to invent words and logically think what it means if the different grades of hash have different THC contents and think about the highest yield on your hash. Does it not make sense that the crap you throw out has a lower thc percentage than your refined hash and also...

Which goes to show you that if you tested the hash in bulk it would be much lower and even if your bud was 25% resin by weight it would be impossible for the bud to be 20% by weight thc being that there is a minimal amount of THC in the actual plant matter as it is most prevalent in the resin.

What's your yield on the extract?

HPLC and gc/ms both test in different ways to test the same thing only HPLC usually gives higher numbers because it adds the THC and THCA together for the final percentage not taking into account the degradation of cannabinoids when heated as if it were being smoked or cooked for consumption.

They are not testing against plant matter only oils, it's not how these tests work.

That's exactly my point and is what these test give results for. None of these tests mentioned give ratio's compared to plant matter and that's why they are being misleading. If you want to go on thinking cannabis is capable of structurally being 25% THC by volume then go ahead but it just shows...
