Am I the only one reading this that finds it hilarious? Brilliant scientist doing highly technical work involving a plant that gets you high and is named after an NBA hall of famer. It's just a tad bit bizarre.

Kevin & Collin - "The zoonotic leap from Hop to Cannabis was often assumed to be the result of various clandestine attempts to graft Cannabis flowers onto Hop and cross these plants to form a cannabinoid producing plant that look nothing like cannabis and thus potentially evade detection."

CBD is great for liver sirosis

Xanthohumol has some promise in cancer
