University of Saskatchewan researchers have discovered the chemical pathway that Cannabis sativa uses to create bioactive compounds called cannabinoids, paving the way for the development of marijuana varieties to produce pharmaceuticals or cannabinoid-free industrial hemp big corporations to make money from cannabis while it'll still be illegal for you.

This. More likely, they'll make a non-high version of weed, make it legal, and force the dispensaries to sell only the non canniboid varieties.

Someone else will keep the secret to the canniboid genome, and make some super-strong high inducing substance that the black market will go crazy for. I can't wait for that.

In the movie Ted, they discussed a strain of marijuana called "Mind Rape" as the better alternative to one called "This is Permanent."

As a frequent smoker who can't get the higher quality weed in the little backwoods town he now lives in, I would LOVE to try either one of those. It's too bad I can't find any other Farkers in this town, I'm guessing they'd know where the good trees are. Back home in Vegas, I knew a guy who kept a large amount of weed categorized by the high effect. You could go to him, tell him you wanted weed that would make you fly, and by the good grace of FSM, he would have it. The one he gave me to cure my migraines worked faster than Excedrin, smelled like a young woman's vagina right after a bath, and is the only kind I've ever smoked before bed that kept me high through the next morning. Awesome, and a damn shame I can't get anything even close to that anymore

One professor's area of research was natural products/alkaloids. We had a lab on pot, but since it is a DEA Schedule I, he had to buy it off the street.

Growing up all that anyone seemed to have was skunk or rancid salami smelling and the smell alone turned me off to it.

I recently smelled some that smelled like blackberries and cloves that shocked me. And now I hear about the varieties are so varied as to boggle the mind.

I don't know why I'm surprised, Look what we have done with every other plant we've domesticated!

Regarding the article, what kinda Ric Romero shiat is this?

"Cannabinoids are produced on the flowers of the female plant of Cannabis sativa in tiny hair-like structures called trichomes, the plant's own "chemical factories."

The trichomes have been scientifically and chemically known as the good stuff "factories" since at least the 1990s, when I first found out about all that good stuff, probably decades earlier. These trichomes have been gathered and pressed into hashish since at least 3rd millennium BCE, wiki source, even earlier man without our advanced knowledge knew that trichomes pressed together produced the strongest medicine.

Good job scientists, how much money did you spend isolating this "previously unknown" chemical factory? For the purpose of reducing THC to hemp levels? Hemp grows wild throughout the midwest, there's a perfectly viable (and dirt cheap) domestic source available. Yet these guys feel like reinventing the discovery of trichomes and doing all this other shiat to recreate it.

Yes, just make sure the seller you choose has a lot of popular reviews, and make sure to use your real name on the package. Yes, this sounds stupid and even insane, but it's true. You can always claim you never ordered it, and they won't be able to prove it. With the wrong name, it could be flagged by the post office (a package I ordered to a friends PO box with my name had a big red question mark by the label). It is also a felony to take mail not addressed to you.

Browse around their forums and wiki for a bit, they have a lot of good guides and faqs.

Here's a beginner's guide on Reddit, but for American users, I suggest using BitInstant, you can get Bitcoins with cash at major retailers such as Walmart and CVS, as well as bank branches.

No but there's something to be said about taking these chemicals and turning them into products that produce the same level of intoxication but eliminate the ash, smoke, and necessity for burning. Kind of like using a vaporizer without having to pack anything. Just insert a cartridge and turn it on, and the chemical is turned into an aerosol that can be scented or flavored, and carcinogen free.

Kind of like e-cigarrettes but better.
