How hot does THC burn?

THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, begins to vaporize at temperatures around 157°C (315°F) and can combust at higher temperatures, typically around 230°C (446°F). When smoked, the burning temperature can exceed 400°C (752°F), which can lead to the degradation of THC and other cannabinoids. Vaporization is often preferred for preserving potency and flavor, as it operates within the ideal temperature range without combustion.
