    I was looking at the make up of THC it is mostly Carbon and Hydrogen, Complex Sugars are only Carbon and Hydrogen, so I was wondering if THC is a sugar. If so you could do certain things with it.
     
  2. lots of things having carbon and hydrogen... i think its organic matter not sugar.




    mmm sugar
     

  3. It's water solubility is 0.0028 [2] (23 C) mg/mL (20 C), so no it won't break down in water very well, or at all.
     
  4. Im pretty sure sugars need to have a ratio of 1:2:1 of Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, so no THC isnt a sugar
     
  5. A sugar has an OH group usually and has a very specific structure...also there has to be a triangle of sweetness.
     

  6. Yeah I realized how stupid that was after I posted it so I deleted it; Carbon is organic. Hydrogen is energy.
     
  7. Yeah, hydrogen and carbon are in a lot of things. There need's to be Oxygen too to make it sugar though.
     
  8. Man.....this thread makes me not want to take chemistry. I'm going to die.






     
  9. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
    I learned about these things in Highschool Biology.
     
  10. Hydrogen's a gas...
     
  11. When Hydrogen is in organic compounds it is usually the source of energy, that is why Carbohydrates have large amounts of Hydrogen in it.

    Sorry for the messed up quoting I don't know what happened.
     







  12. Hey dude, I clearly remember opening my Biology textbook twice in the whole year. The rest of the year we just kept asking her questions about things and we'd spend the entire class time talking about weird shit. We also discussed sex positions that make it more probable for you to get pregnant. Very weird class.
     
  13. Im resisting posting a facepalm picture....

    Ever heard of a weird substance known as H2O???
     
  14. Hydrogen, when burned can be used as a fuel. But light is an energy, heat is an energy. Hydrogen has mass, so it's matter.

    Lmao, I'm avoiding a facepalm here. Ever heard of Hydrogen Oxide. Better know as H2O not hydrogen. Lmao. Hydrogen...is a gas. Hydrogen may be in water, but it is not water.
     
  16. I understand what your saying now, what he meant is that when it is used in anatomy it is used for energy.
     

  17. Sounds like my spanish class, all we did was talk about drugs and sex. The teacher joined in he was like 20, he blended in with the kids.
     
  18. Duno really. But i know that ants can be a fucking headache when Im trying to grow. So maybe its sweet. Just my theory. Im not sure though.

    Happy Steve.:smoking:
     
  19. all i learned to do in chemistry was blow shit up
     
  20. The element Hydrogen, in room temperature conditions, is a gas. :confused_2:
