THC has a boiling point of 200°C (392°F). However before the THC boils, other parts of the oil evaporate and boil.
Here are some important temperatures: At 21°C (70°F) the most volatile terpenoids start to evaporate, lending a pungent odor to the air.
At 31°C (87°F) the less volatile terpenoids start to evaporate, lending the air even more pungent odors.
At 39°C (102°F ) vir tually all of the terpenoids undergo evaporation fairly rapidly.
At 50°C (122°F) THC-Acid decarboxylates as the water molecule held in the carbonate form evaporates. This activates the THC.
At 66°C (150°F) Cannabidiol (CBD) melts and starts to evaporate.
At 185°C (365°F) Cannibinol (CBN) boils.
At 200°C (392°F) THC boils. Clear vapor from a vaporizer.

The breakdown temperature of THC is around 157°C (315°F) and for CBD it is around 160-180°C (320-356°F). Heating cannabis beyond these temperatures can cause these cannabinoids to degrade and lose potency.
The difference between CBD and THC is that … they’re not the same molecule! Although they look very similar, they have structural differences that change the way that they interact with our system. They don’t bind with the same receptors, and don’t send the same messages through our bodies. And as a result, what you experience when you take CBD is very different from what you can experience when taking THC.
Marijuana contains various compounds, including cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, terpenes, flavonoids, and other organic compounds. The main psychoactive component is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is responsible for the plant's intoxicating effects. CBD (cannabidiol) is another prominent cannabinoid known for its potential therapeutic benefits.
Marijuana has something called THC in it. THC stands for tetrahydrocaniibinol. The cannabis plants contain about 400 compounds, sixty of which are called cannabinoids. These sixty compounds are considered to have medicinal effects, although most of them are found in only trace amounts. The most prominent and well known cannabinoid is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Another prominent compound is cannabidiol (CBD). THC is psychoactive (that means it affects your mind and your mood). CBD is not psychoactive. Different strains of Cannabis plants have different effects based on the different amounts of THC and CBD that they contain.
Marijuana contains over 100 different cannabinoids, with the two most well-known being THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). THC is the primary psychoactive compound responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana use, while CBD is non-intoxicating and may have potential therapeutic benefits.
Yes, weed contains chemicals, including cannabinoids like THC and CBD, as well as other compounds that contribute to its effects.
