Is that degrees C or F ?
Where did you find this?Might be of interest...
THC is not the only clinically useful and pharmacologically active cannabinoid. Cannabidiol is the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis and may produce most of its effects at moderate, mid- range doses. Cannabidiol converts to THC as the plant matures and over time this THC degrades to cannabinol. Up to 40% of the cannabis resin in some strains is cannabidiol. The amount varies according to plant; some varieties of Cannabis sativa have been found to contain no cannabidiol. As cannabidiol may help reduce anxiety symptoms, cannabis strains without cannabidiol may produce more panic or anxiogenic side effects. Cannabidiol may exaggerate some of the effects of THC (including increasing THC-induced euphoria), while attenuating others, and competitively slows THC metabolism in the liver. Consequently, a dose of THC combined with cannabidiol will create more psychoactive metabolites than the same dose of THC alone.

As far as I know CBD and THC are not interchangeable, in other words a specific metabolic process creates each of these compounds separately from each other. THC is not a product of degrading or altering CBD or vice versa.
The only speculation I've seen is chemically processing CBD into THC via solvents and lab processing
As @DarkSpark points out THC only degrades naturally into CBN.
If you have read otherwise I'd be happy to see the source and maybe learn something. Take care
Found some good info on CBN and CBD
Cannabinol is an oxidation product of THC. It normally forms when THC is exposed to oxygen and heat. A high level of CBN often reflects cannabis that is old or has been exposed to significant heat. CBN is known to be very slightly psychoactive and more strongly sedative than other known Cannabinoids. As such, samples with significant CBN (approaching 1% by weight) can be useful to treat insomnia. CBN is also somewhat effective as an anti-emetic and anticonvulsant.
Cannabidiol is “non-psychoactive” (in that it does not produce the euphoria, time dilation, or anxiety normally produced by THC) and has been shown to be extremely valuable in the treatment of seizure disorders such as MS and Epilepsy. Its lack of psychoactivity makes it ideal in treating children, the elderly and patients that prefer to remain clear headed and focused. CBD is often as effective as THC in the management of pain and tumors. CBD also lowers blood sugar, and has been used in the treatment of Diabetes. CBD has a calming effect, and is useful in the treatment of stress related disorders and sleep loss.
I dont get it. Why would the plant want to degrade its own THC?
There is a lot of mis-information in here.. goddamn.
Cannabichromene is also non psychoactive, and has been shown to be about ten times more effective than CBD in treating anxiety and stress. It also displays efficiency in treating inflammation, pain relief and is both anti-viral and anti-tumor. CBC has been shown to stimulate the growth of bone tissue.
Cannabigerol is non psychoactive, and has been shown to stimulate the growth of new brain cells, including in the elderly; it should be noted that genuinely neurogenic compounds are extremely rare. CBG also stimulates bone growth, is antibacterial and anti-tumor, and combats insomnia.
