Yay...More drugs for our kids to get “cooked” on.
“It’s a legal alternative to using cannabis...that contains CBD but not THC”
LOL...yeah, it’s really going to catch on. People are after the CBD because it’s a “medicine.” Snort!
“”This is a plant that grows all over Brazil. It would be a simpler and cheaper source of cannabidiol.””
Probably not. Modern strains of hemp are producing 15 to 20% CBD with basically zero THC. It is easy to harvest and extract. Throw it in the shredder, extract with CO2 and pressure, and run that through the thin film extractor and you have pure CBD. (”hot” extract can be converted to CBN but that’s another story.)
(Formerly made extraction equipment and have literally processed thousands of tons of the flowers for CBD.)
“...the increasingly popular substance...”
Heh.
