    totally different plant

    But it’s literally in Cannabaceae, the same family that contains Marijuana (as well as the Hackberry tree). It makes sense that similar compounds would arise in related species, as that is how phytochemistry works. I’m sure cannabinoids are in the foliage of hackberry trees, too.

    They are acting like they found cannabinoids in, like, a grass or something.

      I don’t get people who smoke grass without cannabinoids.
