Cannabis burning temperatures??

[messy]

Can anybody point me in the direction of where I can find out what temperature a cannabis cigarette burns versus a tobacco one?.

Purely for professional research you understand (before you ask Colin!!)

[Chris Houston]

Firstly, I'm no expert. :lol:

But a wee birdy told me that most of the happy cigarettes are mostly filled with tobacco.

Secondly, no expert either!
Was involved with giving fire cover at a controlled burn by customs types of a stockpile they wanted to get rid of.  Despite the warnings of keeping downwind, some did manage not to inhale! :lol:

Not sure if its any help Messey, but I was once involved with a bird who indulged i the illegal weed, and she was quite hot.

It would only help if you send me her phone number

[colin todd]

No point, messey. While she does like men in uniform she discriminates against those in a certai large met brigade,

Whilst I cannot argue with you about the incompetence of some individuals within our Fire Safety Teams, I am concerned that you (and the good lady in question) appear to be casting doubt over the abilities of the good men of the LFB with members of the opposite sex.

That's bloody ridiculous. You've overstepped the mark this time matey. Ask any of my ex wives

[colin todd]

She says that they eat pork scratchings while making love.

Back to the question. Wasn't there a case of a fire in a plastic bath that burned down to the water left in it and the cigarettes that had been smoked by the bath's occupants were implicated as the possible cause. This led to the suggestion that tobacco plus cannabis does burn at a higher temperature than just plain tobacco.

Merry Christmas everyone.

From the majority of the reading I've done, THC is a slightly unstable substance at best, being broken down in varying levels by things so incosequential as sunlight, temperature extremes, improper humidity levels, and so on. This leads me to believe that the coolest burn possible is probably best. In addition, the entire vaporization theory would indicate lower temperatures being better, claiming that other components in cannabis (presumably the undesired ones) ignite at higher temperatures than THC and thus can be avoided by burning at a temperature only hot enough to ingite the THC.
Here are some facts about THC's response to heat to help you decide for yourself:

The Merck Index lists the boiling point of delta 1 9Tetrahydrocannabinol as 392° F
Purified cannabinoids were noted to boil at 302° - 356° F by Wood, Spivey, and Easterfield
Merck Index lists d1 9THC as boiling/vaporizing at 392° F
A large amount of THC is lost to after-toke continuing combustion, which would stop more quickly if the cannabis never reached the higher temperatures

the answers are out there!
