Does tCheck work with CBG, CBN, THCV, and other Cannabinoids?

Marijuana and cannabis concentrate extractors, generally, do not decarb plant material prior to extraction. This results in concentrates primarily comprised of THCa. Heating, either by smoking or vaping, decarbs the THCa into THC. At this time, there are extremely few extractors that produce a concentrate that contains only decarbed THC. tCheck certainly has the ability to measure these THC concentrates, however, since decarbed is THC is relatively unpopular, not many users will be able to utilize this feature. 

The opposite is true for CBD, for whatever reason, CBD producers only make decarbed CBD. It is very hard to find non-decarbed CBDa concentrates anywhere. One possible reason is that consumers generally do not smoke CBD but rather use it as a topical or edible.  

CBN concentrates are extremely difficult to find because, as THC ages, it turns into CBN. There are research studies that claim the half-life of THC to be roughly 7 months and at this time, there are no known processes to accelerate the aging process.                

CBG is newer to the market. CBG is a manufacturing byproduct of CBD extraction. Due to the way that CBG is derived, it is now legal to sell as it is extracted from hemp. CBG may have mild psychoactive properties making it like the little brother to THC yet federally legal.  Unfortunately tCheck does not support CBG testing. 

Adding new features to tCheck depends on a couple of factors: 

• Is there sufficient customer demand 

• Can we purchase enough of the material so that we can analyze it and also create calibration standards? 

If these two conditions are met, we will look into doing further testing and research to determine if we would want to potentially support the option. If there is a feature or test that you want us to add, please complete our wish list.
