Different genus, same family. This plant is a relative of hops, hackberry trees, and cannabis. All in the Cannabaceae family.
Okay that's cool but at what concentration?
4.43 × 10− 3 µg of CBD per gram of the plant extract, and 1.05 × 10− 3 µg/g of THC
Source?
The article does not mention it and even states there is no thc found in it.
However with what i know of cannabinoids it would be strange to find cbd and only cbd during the entire plants life.
Thanks, that’s really really low. More than 1000x lower than C.Sativa. 1kg of plant leaves yields 4mg of CBD if my math is right.
We've been cultivating weed for generations to increase the potency. It'll take time for this other plant to catch up, but not long.
Cannabis is ideal because of those tasty trichomes which are essentially balls of THC goo on the outside of the plant. The plant is basically a resin factory anyway, which makes extraction relatively easy. Potency is one aspect, but availability may take a bit more to work on.
Still, if legal, one would "boil" (not sure what the term is for oil soluble?) a kilo with no issue.
Extracting oils from plants is commonly called cooking or more technically extracting. It includes a step of boiling, but that's not the whole process (decarboxylate, grind, boil, strain).
Or just heat press it. I think that starts the decarb, but I dunno.
That'll work
But the article says it does not contain THC?
x10^-3 micrograms seems odd to me. Why don’t they just use nanograms?
A standard of their own measurement, I suppose. Also, µg is easier to read than n g, IMHO.
Naturally occurring compound is naturally occurring
