    Does anyone have info on a THC meter/testing device or method to find it out? I don't mean for drug tests, I mean a meter/system that allows you to figure out the THC content of your product.

    Amazingly, I couldn't find anything on Google!

    I don't believe there is such a device, if there was the cops would get some grants from the war on drugs and you would see more accurate descriptions of what they were busting instead of the usual crap about everything they bust being high quality MJ. Ever heard them admit they bought schwag? Only some very, very serious chemistry could give your answer.

    Arjans ultra haze won the cannabis cup 2006 and was rated as having 23.9% thc, other sites also show thc content so their must be a way to measure it.

    Gas chromatography would do the trick.

    OK for all you budding Teslas out there I suppose you could do a full spectrum analysis/gas chromatology, but for the rest of us without great laboratories I stand behind what I said earlier... "I don't believe there is such a device".
    But it would be great if somebody can come up with one.
    Another But; what do the cops do when they make a big bust? You know any defense lawyer would claim that it's oregano lacking conclusive proof that it isn't. Too bad the legal questions part of this forum is mostly junior high studentscause there must be an easy way somewhere http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v09n3/09320gie.html

    Alright had to check some things.

    Extraction: Purest I have heard of is buddah (sp?) ~ 97-98 % pure. Bubble hash is ~ 45-50%. So make sure everything is as dry (dehydrated) as can be. Weigh. Extract and dehydrate (hash and bud), weigh each (should be in the ballpark of the original depending on loss) calculate. It will tell you what % was removed from a given amount. Repeat many times and average. Not very accurate.


    As far as oregano, I am quite sure our jr. high members know the difference. The Man has labs and will be happy to add that to your court costs.

    Great replies folks. Many thanks! I suppose my next research epoch will be for an 'inexpensive gas chromatography kit'...ha. Fat chance.

    Love the comments about cops that make the 'best' of their busts! Reminds me of when you read about coke busts that are worth 'zillions'....albeit based on diluting the crap and selling it in gram bindles. The un-justice system at it's finest.

    TKS.

    Hell yes! I saw one of these, just yesterday, at a yard sale. The spectrum analyzer was a little scratched on the back, but for 15 bucks I thought WTF!!! (LOL)

    Since my last post I talked with a guy who had been an importer before spending a few years as a guest of the Feds in Lewisburg. Yes he once had a kit; you put a piece of weed into the test tube with a few drops of "liquid"?, and the deeper purple the color, the higher the thc; color chart included. Where did he get it? "Somebody stole it from a police station"
