I read an article about taking terpenes from citrus fruits such as oranges and creating CBD from it.
A friend gave me a CBD edible and I saw the ingredients listed natural citrus terpenes
First I’ve heard of such a thing
Any thoughts on the matter?
Meh. I don’t yet believe that pulling limonene from orange peels then converting it to CBD is more efficient than pulling it from 15% biomass, but the Japanese are certainly happier that no cannabis is required.
This write up makes my skin crawl….
If we were growing hemp for fiber, or seed, CBD from a “waste product” would certainly be an option.
Might have to track down the patent

The article I googled was pushing the upside of the citrus. Almost seems a play to create more volitiuty in the market or big pharma to get their piece Screenshot_20221230-194329|225x500
Use this plant not that plant.
Because: pure!
Fuck that nonsense.

I agree. Natural substance I think would always be chosen over synthetic?
Definately interesting to see where this leads. I’m sure leading to big pharma

Olivetol maybe but all those synth routes are unnesessary when several plants, fungus and algea make it naturally and are easily extracted.
