CBD is one of the most crucial ingredients in marijuana for those that are suffering from cancer and other highly debilitative diseases. It is a non psychoactive component which means that it does not get you high but has all the properties which make it just as effective as hemp oil and marijuana for providing the instant relief the patients with cancer need to cope up with their pain. CBD has also been shown to inhibit the growth of many types of cancer cells by inducing cancer cell death, inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply these cancerous cells with nutrients, and by inhibiting their ability to metastasize.

What's going to happen with all this "legal" cbd knocking about? With a terminal alkene close to a phenolic hydroxyl it's only a matter of time before freelance chemists start cyclising cbd to Δ9 thc.

So... it's too late to point out that the ingredients of CBD are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen...?

Perhaps time to only allow signatures after a certain number of posts, like many other forma do.

Pretty much like most of Marilyn Monroe, but I don't see evidence of a new synthesis. Project for a bored chemist, perhaps?

It's an interesting thought, however, that if anyone started synthesising THC, bearded tokers would shun it as "full of chemicals".

[Bored chemist]

They do.

She was much more complex; nitrogen, calcium, sulphur...

Do not forget calcium, zinc and iron, not to mention sodium and potassium, in more than trace amounts.

[Bored chemist]

Do not forget calcium,

I didn't

calcium

You can probably hang the soft bits that everybody remembers, on a secondhand skeleton, thus eliminating most of the requirement for calcium and phosphorus. The other stuff is only required to make it all function, but to misquote a famous authority, a dead mouse is a perfect model of a live mouse, if only for a short period.
