Liner notes

Organic chemist Jim Freire (http://www.appliedsynergybotanicals.com) schools Adam & Mitch on the history of modern cannabis concentrates, the chemistry of cannabis, the chemistry of BHO, the best methods for making oil, the potential risks of paraffin left in BHO that hasn't been properly dewaxed, and more. Recorded in July 2014, this technical archive serves as the definitive 'Chemistry Primer' for the extraction industry. Adam Dunn and Mitch Shenassa are joined by extraction expert Jim Freire to break down the molecular physics behind modern concentrates. In this technical session: Polarity & Solubility: A high-level explanation of how molecular polarity dictates the efficiency of solvent-based and solventless extraction. Constituents of the Plant: Mapping the chemical makeup of the plant beyond just THC and CBD-focusing on the synergy of the full profile. The Future of Cleaning: Discussing the 'Hardware' of concentrate purification and the move toward pharmaceutical-grade standards. The 13/33 Singularity: Marking the 33rd episode milestone with a deep dive into the science that powers the industry. This episode is essential for anyone looking to understand the 'Software' of the plant at a molecular level. #DunnDeal #CannabisChemistry #ExtractionScience #JimFreire #AdamDunnShow #1333Legacy Approximate timeline: 00:00-06:00 - Intro 06:00-12:00 - News Rundown 12:00-17:00 - Introducing the Expert: Jim Freire 17:00-32:00 - History of Modern Concentrates 32:00-45:00 - Cannabis Chemistry Primary - Polarity 45:00-1:00:00 - Cannabis Chemistry Primer - Constituents 1:00:00-1:23:00 - The Chemistry of Extraction 1:23:00-1:44:00 - The Chemistry of Cleaning Concentrates 1:44:00-1:56:00 - The Future of Concentrates 1:56:00-1:59:00 - Wrap up Presented by: Incredibles (http://incrediblescolorado.com/) Build-A-Soil (http://www.buildasoil.com/) Boulder Wellness (http://www.boulderwc.com/)
