Earths Essence, I don't mean to "rip [your or anyone else's] words apart" just the for sake of it, I am however inclined to reject, point out and/or disagree with what I perceive to be misinformation, even if its in the form of generalizations. The reason I'm inclined to do so (and I would guess others here as well) is that it seems people read a post and consistently take it as fact. I'm very very wary of (apparently) scientific claims that are clearly unfounded, e.g. when people begin explicit conversations about what cannabinoids they're vaping. Personally, I like to think that this tendency is one of employing a
healthy skepticism, I refuse to take what people post as fact and realize that many others do not, thus, confusion and misinformation can easily take hold.
Continuing (and again this is not nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking, I think its a healthy exercise to keep fact assertion in check), I'd like to forcefully disagree with your statement that
The CBD's are what are the medicine, and they require some higher temps, obviously.
What makes you think the CBD is the medicine and not other cannabinoids or terpenes etc.? Personally, I think pinpointing any specific cannabinoid as medicinal is unfair and an oversimplification. I agree, a ratio is probably necessary and/or helpful, I know for sure I wouldn't want to be vaping just THC or CBD or CBN etc.
Further (and thank you too for prefacing this with your "IMO), on what basis are you coming to the conclusion that
The PD, IMO, seems to be just a few degress (maybe 10) off, missing some essential CBD's
. In short, I'm wary of explicitly applying the boiling temperature of specific cannabinoids onto our real world, pragmatic vaping sessions. Sure, THC purportedly boils at 157C, our vaporizers (the vast majority of the users here I would assume) are not subjecting the herb to the same rigorously defined circumstances that the lab scientists are basing these claims on (e.g. pressure, properly measured and defined temperature, dryness/moistness, etc.).
I'm sorry to push this thread further off-topic but at times I can't help but (what I hope is constructively) criticize or raise into contention widely proliferated fact.
EDIT: Tom, that thread provides exactly the kind of oversimplified and out-of-context information that I find problematic. I think that/those charts provide great and interesting information, I think its unfounded to place too much credence in those numbers considering our real-world application.
