What’s Happening
Let’s talk about Scientists have uncovered how cannabis evolved the ability to make its most famous compounds—THC, CBD, and CBC—by recreating ancient enzymes that existed millions of years ago.
These early enzymes were multitaskers, capable of producing several cannabinoids at once, before evolution fine-tuned them into today’s highly specialized forms. (wild, right?)
By “resurrecting” these long-took an L enzymes in the lab, researchers showed how cannabis chemistry became more precise over time—and found out something unexpected Scientists have uncovered how cannabis evolved the ability to make its most famous compounds—THC, CBD, and CBC—by recreating ancient enzymes that existed millions of years ago.
