Nature, Chemistry, and Weed: The Perfect Synergy

Introduction Cannabis, commonly known as weed, is a fascinating plant that thrives in nature and carries a complex chemical profile. The connection between nature, chemistry, and weed is deeply rooted in science, offering a blend of medicinal, recreational, and industrial benefits. Over the years, researchers have explored the plant’s chemical composition, its interaction with the human body,…

Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance. The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP in June 2023. CBD, increasingly used by some to treat conditions including epilepsy, chronic pain and anxiety, is one of the main active compounds in cannabis, along with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC – the substance that makes users feel high. The compound's effectiveness as a medical treatment is still under research.

The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP last year.

. . .

Neto said chemical analysis had found "Trema" contains CBD but not THC, raising the possibility of an abundant new source of the former – one that would not face the legal and regulatory hurdles of cannabis, which continues to be outlawed in many places, including Brazil."It's a legal alternative to using cannabis," he said.

Cannabis: A Multifaceted Plant for a Multitude of Uses

Introduction

Cannabis, a plant that has been a part of human history for thousands of years, is experiencing a resurgence in popularity as its myriad of uses become increasingly recognised. From its strong fibres used in textiles and paper to its nutritional and medicinal properties, cannabis has proven itself to be a truly multipurpose plant. This article will delve into the various aspects of this versatile plant and explore how it has been utilised throughout history and across cultures.

The History of Hemp: A Material with Unmatched Strength

One of the most well-known uses of cannabis is in the production of hemp, a material derived from the plant's strong fibres. These fibres have been used for millennia to create durable cloth, rope, and paper. The Vikings, known for their seafaring prowess, utilised hemp to construct sails for their ships, enabling them to voyage from Scandinavia to Nova Scotia. In the United States, Betsy Ross sewed the first flag from hempen cloth, and the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. Even the now obsolete German currency, Deutsche Mark, were once printed on hemp paper.

The use of hemp extended beyond these applications, as seen in the Netherlands, where windmills were built specifically to crush hemp stalks. This demonstrates the importance of hemp in various industries and highlights the plant's incredible versatility.

Cannabis as a Nutritional Powerhouse

While the strength of its fibres may have initially attracted humans to the cannabis plant, its potential as a food source likely played a significant role in its widespread cultivation. Cannabis seeds, or hempseeds, are packed with essential nutrients such as polyunsaturated fats, essential fatty acids, and proteins. These qualities qualify hempseed as a functional food, meaning it provides health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

For over three thousand years, Asian cultures have utilised hempseed as both a food and a medicine. Despite the prohibition of cannabis products in the United States, hempseed has been allowed for use in food over the last two decades. This highlights the recognition of its nutritional value and potential health benefits.

Cannabis Resin: A Source of Medicinal and Psychoactive Compounds

The resin produced by the cannabis plant is another aspect that has garnered significant attention due to its medicinal and psychoactive properties. The compounds found in cannabis resin, such as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), have been the focus of breeding efforts to increase their production. These efforts have led to the development of various cannabis drug chemotypes around the world, with some cultivars producing only THC, others producing both THC and CBD, and a few expressing propyl THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin) and/or CBDV (cannabidivarin).

The medicinal uses of cannabis resin have been widely researched, with evidence suggesting its effectiveness in treating conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and more. The psychoactive effects of THC have also led to the recreational use of cannabis, which has sparked debates surrounding its legalisation and regulation.

Environmental Benefits of Cannabis Cultivation

In addition to its myriad uses, cannabis cultivation offers several environmental benefits. Hemp plants are known to absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, making them an effective tool in combating climate change. Furthermore, hemp requires fewer pesticides and herbicides than many other crops, reducing the environmental impact of agriculture.

Cannabis can also be used as a source of biofuel, offering a renewable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. Additionally, the fast growth rate and low water requirements of hemp make it a sustainable crop, capable of providing resources without causing significant strain on natural resources.

Conclusion

Cannabis is a truly remarkable plant, with applications ranging from textiles and paper to nutrition and medicine. As society continues to recognise its numerous benefits, it is likely that the cultivation and use of cannabis will only continue to grow. By embracing this versatile plant, we can harness its potential to improve our health, industries, and environment for generations to come.

Theory for House of David:

I have watched the first 5 eps of the House of David now, and I have a theory.

The tinctures that Shaul is getting are making his mental state worse and possibly poisoning him.

Why?

Shaul HaMelech in the show is getting worse at a more rapid rate than Shaul in the Tanakh, whose mental decline took years. One episode he’s sleeping for 11 days and then the next ep he accidentally kills someone. This has descended to frequent hallucinations and possible paranoia. Out of universe, I know this is meant to move the story along. However, an in-story explanation provides great potential.

Intentional or Unintentional? 🧐

Intentional:

Motive: The crown and the priestesses of Ba’al do not have the best relationship

The priestess insists that more tincture will help and that she needs to be more unrestrained in her treatments.

Effects: Shaul is getting worse every episode, faster than in the Tanakh.

Unintentional

Medical knowledge and treatment sucked a lot.

There seemed to be a partial recovery a bit at one point.

What could it be?

We know that the drug is a tincture. Tinctures are plants or animal material dissolved in ethanol. However, we don’t know the route of administration. I have some candidates whose likelihood depends on the motive:

Opium: It was used for pain and inducing sleep in the late Bronze Age to early Iron Age. The Caananites also used opium in ritual specifically. In Egypt, it was used for priests and warriors and associated with the afterlife and the dead. In Israel, it was found in a burial site. Unfortunately, opiate use is infamous for tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal. Withdrawal can see overstimulation of the nervous system and create agitation and in some cases hallucinations (which we see in the show). Long-term, opiate use has been tied to increased risk of dementia.

Cannabis: a well known hallucinogen that was also found archaeologically in Israel and also associated with developing psychosis. This was also used for ritual purposes by the ancient Israelites. Cannabis has been used as a tincture.

Belladonna: the deadly nightshade is associated with hallucinations, confusion, and delirium with an overdose. Oral use increases the risk of psychiatric disorders. It can be administered as a tincture and also was used in Mycanean Greece. Belladonna has several toxic compounds in it including atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine which have the same mechanisms.

Henbane: there are hypotheses that the Kohen Gadol decorated his hat with the henbane flower. Henbane was used by the ancient Roman’s and Greeks and often combined with other plants in “magic brews.” As a traditional medicine, it was used for all kinds of symptoms including nervous diseases, pain relief, and sleep. Hallucinations were common. Long-term henbane has been tied to dementia. It is however very poisonous if orally consumed.

Ergot: a fungus that serves as the source for LSD (a hallucinogen). There are two kinds of ergotism: psychosis, fever, muscle spasms, and mania while the other feature burning pain. The chronic effects are more so associated with the blood vessels rather than the brain.

Ethanol by itself: it could be the tincture has nothing active besides ethanol. However, ethanol by itself is a “dirty drug” that affects many different receptors (we still don’t know all the receptors it interacts with). Ethanol can induce a potentially fatal withdrawal with delirium tremendous (rapid confusion, seizures, hallucinations, and high body temperatures).

Lead: A heavy metal poison known to target the brain and the kidneys. The Iron Age saw increased incidents of lead poisoning. Imported silver and metal working was usually the cause but it could also be a case of intentional poisoning. Lead severely damages the brain leading to various disorders including mood changes (sound familiar?). Chronic exposure is linked to psychiatric disorders and neurodegeneration.

Mercury: cinnabar, a common Mercury ore often occurred with lead ores. Although mercury is well known for neurological effects, it’s the organic mercury that’s more potent at this. Something like cinnabar would need to be used at 1000 times that of methylmercury and it’s likely death would come from other causes.

Arsenic: “the king of poisons” or “inheritance powder.” Arsenic has been melted down to make arsenical bronze since the Bronze Age and very frequently used for murder until 1830s CE. The symptoms are nonspecific with chronic cases masquerading as intestinal diseases. However, it seems more associated with peripheral nerve problems rather than the brain in chronic dosing.

If I had to make a guess: opium, cannabis, belladonna, and henbane would be my guesses for an unintentional poisoning, and henbane or lead would be my guesses for an intentional poisoning.

Queen of the crop

Get a load of this big, beautiful girl - the undisputed heavyweight champ of my garden.

Daily monitoring with a hand-held microscope tells me that her trichomes are beginning to turn from clear, to that milky opaqueness we seek. Harvest is near.

"Trichomes"? They're the resinous glands that contain the cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds that give cannabis its therapeutic powers.

After culling the male plants and losing a couple of girls in a recent storm, I'm left with seven survivors. Chop time is near.

If you don't answer this I completely understand you why and I don't blame you

But! How do you think the Choi twins + all the alters would reach to a mc who smokes 🍃🍃?

The answer shouldn't surprise you.

Ray doesn't care for cigarettes. He doesn't like the smell. His mother wasn't a smoker, but she would come home from the liquor store at night and smell strongly of someone else's smoke. Now, the smell of cigarettes is different from the smell of weed, but weed can be just as pungent as cigarette smoke. Given that Ray is sensitive to smells and easily overwhelmed by them, I would say that he wouldn't want to be near you when you're smoking, yet, he'd probably push himself to do it if the only time he could see you would be when you're taking your break to smoke.

That's just the kind of person Ray is. He may show obvious signs of discomfort, but he won't say anything about it even if you try to poke and prod him about it. He doesn't care that you smoke because he's certain you enjoy it for whatever reason, and he's happy that you get to indulge in whatever makes you happy—but it would be a lie to say he would be excited about you smoking anything when the smell will inevitably cling to your clothes.

You won't see him ask to smoke with you given his feelings about the smell that comes with it, but... he would appreciate it if you would open a window if you decide to smoke recreationally. I also can't see him or any Saeran responding well to the psychoactive quality of cannabis...

I'm well aware that not all weed is going to cause someone to go on a trip, but some people do not respond well to weed regardless of what strain they smoke, at least, that's what I've seen, and I don't think it'd be great to watch Ray or Saeran go through an entire episode of fear and paranoia. Cannabis can be calming for some, and we've made a lot of great advancements in medical marijuana, but as far as seeing this character smoke it? I just can't see it.

Suit Saeran would be vocal about his dislike of cannabis. He's more likely to say what Ray won't say to you, and that the smell bothered him. He's not going to smoke it if you offer it to him, he's more likely to throw it out the window if anything. Frankly, my main concern in regards to him is that the scent might spark more memories of his mother and that's not a good thing by any means. Even if you try to explain to him that it calms your nerves and helps you feel better at the end of it, he doesn't want to hear it.

GE Saeran is actually interested in learning more about cannabis. It's a plant, after all, and he's curious about the history behind it. He may not be likely to consume it the way you do, but he thinks there's a lot to learn about it given the fact that medicine has been able to use it to help patients with all sorts of health issues over the years. Plants have been used to help craft medication for years, and learning more about this subject might help him overcome his fear of consuming other medications. After all, the elixir contained God knows what and he's still trying to recover from what it did to his body.

Learning how to trust his doctors and pharmacy staff is going to take some time. If he learns more about cannabis, and by extension, all of the ways medication is created by doctors using different plants and chemical compounds, he's more likely to feel at home trusting them with his health. Again, he won't smoke with you, but I think it's worth saying he's more comfortable with you smoking outside than Ray or Suit Saeran would be because he's able to educate himself on what it does without the walls of Mint Eye suffocating him.

Saeyoung will not smoke cannabis. He made it clear that he is as straight-laced as they come, his only vice is Dr. Pepper, and that's what he considers his hard limit. He'll drink caffeine but he won't do anything else. I can't fault him for that. He knows that cannabis isn't something to shame or fault others for enjoying, just as much as he knows that anyone who enjoys alcohol doesn't deserve his ire. He's a supportive friend and lover, so if you enjoy something, he won't stop you from enjoying it!

Just... don't do it around him. If you like to drink, for example, he will not tell you you're not allowed to enjoy that glass of wine. He isn't the boss of you. He would just... appreciate not being subjected to it if he can help it if he's not in an environment that has the expectation of a wine bottle. He does fine at the RFA parties because he knows there will be drinking and he prepares himself for that! But, in his bunker...? No way! If you want to go to the bar, that's fine, just call him when it's late and you need a ride home.

Alcohol, cannabis, cigarettes, etc...? You need to make sure you have a healthy experience and taper your use of it so as not to fall to addictive habits. It's fine if you want to enjoy something because it makes you feel better, but there HAS to be a hard line somewhere.

He has seen what addiction can do to people—it's very tragic and overwhelming to see someone lose themselves. He doesn't want to see his loved ones fall into bad habits. This goes for more than just things we may consider to be "addictive" like alcohol and recreational drugs. It's possible to become addicted to all sorts of things, doing too much of something can be detrimental to your health.

At the end of the day, the twins aren't going to engage with cannabis as long as it's being smoked rather than consumed like a pill you can take. I can see an argument for medical marijuana, definitely, but I'm not sure I can ever see them smoking it. You will need to talk to them about boundaries regardless if this is something you do! There isn't anything wrong with enjoying some cannabis if it's 100% legal in your country, state, whatever.

The only problem I have with it myself is if you're smoking around someone who didn't consent to that. I'm all for people indulging and enjoying themselves in whatever way they desire but I don't want to be forced into a situation where I have to deal with it and I wasn't told someone was going to be doing that beforehand.

Honestly, I feel the same way about cigarettes. If you're going to smoke something, do it in a way that doesn't blow on other people. It's one thing if you're doing that within the confines of your home because that's your space and you get to decide what you do! But, it's another when it's a shared space and you didn't make sure it was okay beforehand. You wouldn't like it if someone started smoking in your area without your consent, right?

Impact of Cannabis on Genetic Activity

Recent studies have unveiled a surprising link between cannabis consumption and alterations in genetic activity. While the use of cannabis has been a topic of discussion for its therapeutic benefits and potential risks, its influence on our genetic makeup adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate. Researchers are delving into how cannabis can modify gene expression, impacting various body functions and health outcomes. These findings are crucial for both medical professionals and users, emphasizing the importance of understanding long-term effects. This article explores the science behind this relationship and its implications for societal perspectives on cannabis use.

Cannabis, a substance derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has gained widespread popularity for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Despite its popularity, the biological effects of cannabis, particularly its impact on our genes, remain a developing field of study. Genetic activity refers to how active or inactive certain genes are in response to environmental factors, including substances we consume. Cannabis compounds, notably THC and CBD, interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which controls various physiological processes. Recent studies suggest that this interaction may lead to changes in the expression of specific genes. These changes could, in turn, influence a person’s susceptibility to diseases or conditions, thereby altering their overall health profile.

The research into cannabis’s role in genetic modulation sheds light on diverse health implications. Preliminary findings suggest that long-term cannabis use may affect genes related to neurological functions and immune system responses. For instance, chronic users may experience altered gene expression that modifies brain pathways, potentially impacting cognitive abilities and mental health. Simultaneously, these genetic shifts could either enhance or suppress the immune system’s functionality, affecting how the body responds to infections. Understanding these genetic interactions is crucial as it could help in personalizing medical treatments and predicting health trajectories for cannabis users.

Despite the promising data, there is still much to be researched regarding cannabis and its genetic effects. Scientists are focusing efforts on determining the precise changes in gene expression and how these changes translate to tangible health outcomes. This knowledge is especially significant for healthcare professionals prescribing cannabis for medicinal use and policymakers involved in regulation. Furthermore, understanding the genetic implications can aid in developing guidelines for safer consumption and recommending appropriate doses. With cannabis legalization expanding, it becomes increasingly important to continue this research to support informed decisions both at the individual and community levels.

The revelation that cannabis can influence genetic activity provides a new perspective on its holistic impact on humans. While cannabis continues to offer therapeutic benefits, especially in pain management and symptom relief for various conditions, these genetic considerations suggest that caution is warranted. The potential for cannabis to alter gene expression calls for a balanced approach to its consumption, taking into account personal health risks and benefits. As research progresses, it becomes vital for scientists, medical practitioners, and users to stay informed about the genetic dimension of cannabis use. Sustainable consumption practices, guided by scientific understanding, can provide a safe pathway forward. This newfound insight reiterates the importance of personalized healthcare, acknowledging that the impact of cannabis may vary greatly among individuals based on their unique genetic makeup. The future of cannabis use and regulation undoubtedly lies in a nuanced comprehension of its genetic effects, fueling more targeted and effective clinical applications while ensuring public health safety.

Cannabis Hash (or hashish) is a concentrated form of cannabis made by collecting and compressing the resin (trichomes) from the cannabis plant. It contains high levels of cannabinoids, primarily THC, and is typically consumed by smoking, vaporizing, or eating. Hash comes in various forms, colors, and textures, depending on the production method and cannabis strain used. Commonly produced in regions like the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, it has been used both recreationally and medicinally for centuries.

Hash

Cannabis CBD (Cannabidiol):

CBD is a non-intoxicating compound derived from cannabis or hemp plants. It is known for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing anxiety, pain, inflammation, and seizures. CBD does not cause a “high” like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and is legal in many places, depending on its THC content and local laws. It is available in various forms, including oils, capsules, edibles, and topicals. Always consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if taking other medications.

CBD

Concentrates are highly concentrated forms of substances, often used in various industries like food, beverage, and cannabis. They contain a higher level of the active ingredient compared to the original substance by removing water or other components.

For example:

In Food & Beverages: Fruit concentrates are made by removing most of the water from fruit juice, intensifying flavor and nutrients.

In Cannabis: Cannabis concentrates contain higher levels of cannabinoids like THC or CBD and are extracted through methods like solvent-based or solventless extraction.

In Cleaning & Cosmetics: Concentrates are often diluted before use, offering a more efficient way to store and transport products.

Concentrates are popular for their potency and cost-efficiency in various applications.

Cannabis Edibles are food products infused with cannabis extracts, typically in the form of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) or CBD (cannabidiol). They come in various forms like gummies, brownies, chocolates, and beverages.

Concentrates

Key Points:

Onset Time: Edibles take longer to affect (30 minutes to 2 hours) compared to smoking or vaping cannabis.

Duration: Effects last longer, typically 4–8 hours.

Dosing: Dosage varies, so it’s important to start low (5–10 mg of THC) and wait at least 2 hours before taking more.

Effects: Can induce relaxation, euphoria, or increased appetite, depending on THC levels.

Legal Status: Varies by region; ensure compliance with local laws.

Considerations: Overconsumption can lead to anxiety or discomfort due to delayed onset and prolonged effects.

Always consume edibles responsibly, especially if you’re new to cannabis.

Cannabis Shatter is a type of cannabis concentrate that is known for its glass-like texture and high potency. It is made through an extraction process using solvents like butane to isolate THC and other cannabinoids from the plant material. The result is a translucent, brittle product that can be easily broken into pieces. Shatter typically has THC levels ranging from 60% to 90%, making it one of the most potent forms of cannabis. It is usually consumed by dabbing, where small amounts are vaporized using a dab rig. It provides rapid, intense effects due to its high concentration of cannabinoids.

Shatter

Solventless marijuana refers to cannabis extracts or concentrates made without the use of chemicals or solvents (like butane or ethanol). The most common solventless methods include:

Dry Sifting: Using screens to separate trichomes (the resin glands) from the plant material.

Rosin Pressing: Applying heat and pressure to cannabis flowers or hash to extract resin.

These methods preserve the natural flavors and cannabinoids of the plant, providing a cleaner, more pure product. Solventless extracts are often considered safer and more natural due to the absence of residual solvents.

Unraveling Delta THC: From 0.3% Hemp Definition to Manufacturing Insights

In recent times, the discussion around Delta THC, particularly Delta-8 THC, has surged, with these cannabinoids becoming more accessible in states with strict cannabis regulations. The roots of Delta THC trace back to the commercial CBD boom, where the term "hemp" began to signify cannabis containing 0.3 percent or less THC by dry weight.

The 0.3% Conundrum

The 0.3 percent THC threshold finds its origin in Ernest Small's 1979 book, "The Species Problem in Cannabis: Science & Semantics." Small proposed this seemingly arbitrary number to distinguish hemp from cannabis due to the lack of taxonomical differences. The 0.3 percent rule later shaped the legal definition of hemp in the Agricultural Act of 2018.

Hemp's Legal Landscape

The 2018 Farm Bill transformed the hemp landscape, making it legal to grow hemp throughout the United States, provided it contained less than 0.3 percent THC. This legislation also paved the way for federally legal hemp-derived CBD products. However, marijuana, with more than 0.3 percent THC, remains federally illegal, while state laws on cannabis usage vary widely.

Vital Elements in Delta-8 THC Manufacturing

The production of Delta-8 THC demands meticulous attention to key elements:

Starting Material: High-quality hemp free from contaminants.

Extraction: Careful extraction methods like CO2 or ethanol extraction.

Isomerization: Controlled process to prevent unwanted byproducts.

Refining and Purification: Techniques like chromatography for a pure extract.

Testing and Quality Control: Rigorous testing to ensure purity, potency, and safety, with a growing body of evidence supporting the relative safety of Delta-8 THC.

Delta-8 THC: The Conversion Process

To produce Delta-8 THC, CBD is extracted from hemp, preferred for its low THC levels. Two crucial steps in the conversion process are isomerization and chromatography.

Isomerization:

Isomerization is the chemical process through which CBD is transformed into Delta-8 THC by rearranging its molecular structure. This reaction typically involves exposing CBD to a catalyst, such as an acid or a metal catalyst. This controlled process is essential for achieving a consistent and high-quality Delta-8 THC product. Isomerization is a pivotal step in the manufacturing process, facilitating the conversion of the non-psychoactive CBD into the mildly psychoactive Delta-8 THC.

Chromatography:

Chromatography is a refining technique used to purify the Delta-8 THC extract obtained from the isomerization process. This method separates different compounds based on their chemical properties. By passing the Delta-8 THC extract through a chromatography column, unwanted compounds can be effectively removed, leaving behind a more pure and concentrated Delta-8 THC extract. This refining step is crucial for ensuring the final product meets rigorous standards of purity, potency, and safety.

Exploring Other Cannabinoids

Beyond Delta-8 THC, the cannabis plant houses a plethora of cannabinoids, each with its unique properties and potential applications. THC-A, THC-O, HHC, and others have garnered attention for their distinct effects. THC-A, the non-psychoactive precursor to Delta-9 THC, is being explored for its potential therapeutic benefits. THC-O, a synthetic cannabinoid, has gained popularity for its purported intensified psychoactive effects. Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is another emerging cannabinoid with reported euphoric effects. As the cannabis industry evolves, ongoing research explores the diverse uses and production methods of these cannabinoids.

In Conclusion

The journey from the 0.3% THC definition to the rise of Delta-8 THC unveils the complexities of cannabinoid regulation and production. As the industry navigates legal landscapes and explores novel compounds, acknowledging user experiences and the evolving understanding of safety considerations becomes an integral part of the conversation.
