Thats why they changed it so medical overages couldnā€™t get sold, to squeeze out the small producers. Well, its backfiring.

U.S. Grants Trait Biosciences Patent for Process to Increase Cannabinoid Production Up to 200%

Trait Amplified technology increases trichome production and up-regulates the production of cannabinoids.
This is the newest of more than 90 patents held, applied for or licensed to Trait within cannabinoid research. Specifically, the patent notes that:

  • Trait has identified a gene that, when expressed in a cannabis plant, increases trichome production by at least 30%, and increases total cannabinoid production by almost 200%.
  • For select cannabinoids like THC and CBD, the increased production was even greater, at 400% and 300%, respectively.

From their website
ā€œAdditionally, because AmplifiedTM naturally stimulates a plant to produce water-soluble cannabinoids, growers no longer need to use energy-intensive extraction techniques (e.g., ethanol, butane, super-critical CO2) now enabling the plant to be pressed and juiced to extract the full spectrum of cannabinoids.ā€

A whole new form of junky is about to emerge in the next 20 yearsā€¦

Thats sounds kind of fantabulousā€¦ what cannabanoid forms are water soluble? And 400% increase on a plant thats already 30%? Sounds fishy to me.
