All I'll say is go spend a day picking hops without gloves. There are a large number of cannabinoids at play, some clearly (as in observably and demonstrably) are bioactive in their natural, unheated form. --- None of which is said to endorse the other theory. Just to point out that claiming heat is required is incorrect.
The farm bill makes 'hemp' anything with below 0.3% THC legal. For this reason, we have a LOT of testing on the THC content of cannabis, since it is required to sell and manufacture. As it turns out, naturally cannabis quite commonly has >0.3% THC even before heating or activation of THCa. Any human-like animal with our receptors eating a large amount would get high as fuck, cooked or not. A ruminant eating pounds of…

Don't forget the potato! Europe before the potato seems like a miserable place
yeah before potato they had lots of lots of turnips and rutabagas, it is little wonder they went out exploring the world looking for anything better to eat. the new world gave tonnes of food not just nightshade family plant mentioned earlier (gp left out eggplant btw) corn, sweet potato, chocolate, sunflowers, and pumpkins, squash, peanuts, pineapple, cranberry and turkey.
Eggplant is actually an old-world nightshade! Arabs brought it to Spain as early as the 8th century, probably from Southeast Asia

Crazy bitter hateful angry old boomer's gone off the rails because nobody cares about his idiotic secular religion anymore. Many such cases.

Bewildered hateful old boomer angrily lashing out like a dinosaur because you're upset the world has passed you by and nobody cares about your rantings and pathetic pretend outrage anymore. Nobody cares, boomer.

But CBD does not need heat to convert. I have a hypothesis that taking cannabis (and especially CBD) out of our food chain may be contributing to the increase¹ in prevalence of chronic pain. ¹ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12588185/?utm_sourc...
When was cannabis ever in the human food chain?
Livestock used to eat cannabis back when it was a weed.

Let's take human DNA as an example. It contains 3.2B GTCA base pairs. This gives rise to 4^3.2B possible combos. It's just not possible to navigate this space blindly. There is not enough atoms in the universe to do that. It is known that there is bias in what mutations are favoured.
Of course there is bias, the bias is provided by the natural environment where the organisms coded by the genome must thrive or die. The bias is applied after the mutation occurs, but the mutations themselves are random, or nearly so. Probably there is some differential rate between the likelihood of each of the four base pairs to mutate into each of the others, but I would guess its nearly parity, because that would…
I don't think this is true at all. There are multiple sources talking about how the mutation rate is context-dependent.

definitely not hyperbole. last time i took LSD i dropped at 5pm before going to dinner and ended up at a bread factory 15 miles away at 5am watching them run the big mixers. no idea how i got there just remember walking all night.
That's... odd. Sure it was LSD? It shouldn't cause dissociation like that.
yea that's not normal for LSD at all. NBOMe?
