I want to experiment with making some stupid strong edibles & I can't find proper research on how much THC one can dissolve into oil before it's saturated and a waste of weed

Yeah but like I imagine there are some high pressures and temperatures involved lol.

It's half by weight btw which means you get even better solubility with smaller molecules like alcohols or other small organic molecules. I think the substrate makes a difference in absorption but I'm too high to look it up lol

    Yeah at that point you're just designing a semi-continuous process rather than a batch one, since absorption rates depend so much on geometry at the scales these usually happen.

    Not really stuff you could do at home, unless you're willing to buy and make some glassware yourself.
