Can someone explain the THC boiling points? I'm confused.

    It says THC has a boiling point of 157C. What does this exactly mean? Does this mean if i put my oven on 157C, I would be extracting the most "Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol "? I'm trying to extract the most THC (psychoactive compounds) and less of CBD (sedative and medical effects) in my edibles if that is possible.

    Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
    Boiling point:157*C / 314.6 degree Fahrenheit
    Properties: Euphoriant, Analgesic, Antiinflammatory, Antioxidant, Antiemetic

    cannabidiol (CBD)
    Boiling point: 160-180*C / 320-356 degree Fahrenheit
    Properties: Anxiolytic, Analgesic, Antipsychotic, Antiinflammatory, Antioxidant, Antispasmodic

    Cannabinol (CBN)
    Boiling point: 185*C / 365 degree Fahrenheit
    Properties: Oxidation, breakdown, product, Sedative, Antibiotic

    cannabichromene (CBC)
    Boiling point: 220*C / 428 degree Fahrenheit
    Properties: Antiinflammatory, Antibiotic, Antifungal

    Δ-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ-8-THC)
    Boiling point: 175-178*C / 347-352.4 degree Fahrenheit
    Properties: Resembles Δ-9-THC, Less psychoactive, More stable Antiemetic

    tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
    Boiling point: < 220*C / <428 degree Fahrenheit
    Properties: Analgesic, Euphoriant

    It means exactly what it says ."THC has a boiling point of 157C.
    Yes , It means if you put your cannabis at 157 C the THC would boil away (boiling point) and only the THC would boil away because the other chemicals require a higher boiling point temp
    My question is how are you going to catch that boiling THC ?
