Impact of Cannabinoid Biosynthesis on the Cannabis Industry
Some interesting discoveries and developments are happening in the world of cannabinoid biosynthesis. Among these is that hemp can produce cannabinoids that are not affected by THC. This may help treat psychotic diseases. Another benefit of using hemp is that it does not have a huge environmental footprint.
Reduces Environmental Footprint
It’s no secret that the cannabis industry is facing environmental challenges. While avoiding all environmental impacts is impossible, the industry can greatly lower its impact with the help of cannabinoid biosynthesis companies.
One of the biggest environmental challenges in the cannabis industry is the packaging. A standard 3.5-gram unit of dried cannabis is packaged in about 70 grams plastic. If this amount of plastic is distributed to all 660 dispensaries in Oregon alone, it will make a total of about 7,227,000 plastic containers daily.
As the demand for medical and recreational marijuana grows, the industry must minimize its environmental footprint.
Treats Psychotic Diseases
The endocannabinoid system is an endogenous lipid-based signaling system linked to many of the same symptoms of the psychotic disease. There is a lack of well-designed clinical trials which would substantiate this claim. Cannabinoid biosynthesis is an emerging field of research, with many researchers claiming …
