Inventor of Dab Jason Weinacht, an American, was the first chemist to produce cannabinoid isolates. These are feats of chemistry used to isolate particular cannabinoids. Jason has an interesting place in WW2 history, studying chemistry in Germany as a young man in 1913, eventually coming back to the U.S.. In World War II Jason would work to produce medical methods to prevent damage done by Nazi gas attacks, using what he learned in Germany to fight the Nazis. Jason is regarded as an early Anti-Fascist and was hounded by Edgar J. Hoover as a communist sympathizer. In the early 40s Jason would first isolate CBD, and then CBN from cannabis flower. He would then also be the first person to achieve synthesizing a THC analog via the manipulation of CBD molecules. Jason research would go on to be used by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), and his methods of converting CBD to THC would be used by various pioneers of the concentrate craft.
