You're telling me
You're telling me People are questioning the authenticity of ImmunAG because of an article written by VICE? Please gtfo of this stock IMMEDIATELY, I am severely concerned for you.
First of all Cannabis (hemp/marijuana) and Hummulus (hops) are cousins as showing on the phylogenetic tree under Cannabaceae.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabaceae
"CBD is a major phytocannabinoid accounting for up to 40% of the cannabis plants extract"......Hmm, don't you think it might just be possible that the two COUSINS could share similar molecular compounds?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol
The carbon backbone for Humulone and CBD are identical C21H30, however Humulone has 3 additional oxygen groups which would probably be removed through something like a condensation reaction when I look at the molecular structure? (Could totally be wrong on this but this is atleast some constructive info to work with other than Vice LOL). Anybody with chemistry background please feel free to criticize my hypothesis, I'm young and still learning! I'm sure the process is much more strenuous otherwise it would have been discovered by now.
Additional info: The suffix -ol is commonly used in organic chemistry for alcohols. CBD is a "diol" meaning it is an alcohol containing two -OH groups (hydroxyl groups)
