"The center will focus on three distinct areas of research as they relate to cannabis production: policy and regulation, environmental impacts, and cannabis-producing communities."

I think it's been around for AT LEAST fifty years.

Not sure yet if this is going to HURT recruiting, or maybe HELP recruiting. Optimistically, maybe we can pick off a few of those guys that go to Oregon,,,

Not into stock but the market is super confusing right now. Big take away, legal recreational sales have leveled off after one year in California because the underground trade is still cheaper and more mature, although things are closing. Those deep NorCal guys have been doing it for a long time and successfully and VC guys don't see the same stuff as the non-dopers straight investors. I remember talking to a buddy who said the big thing will be the transition and undoing the entrenched underground culture. Let's just say exports out of CA are big. The thing is, I think it's a long way before there's revenue agents running around the back country. Full national legalization might fix that, or might not. In other words, I have no idea.

I can't believe that all the textbooks will feature hemp pages and are suitable for rolling.

Finally something that plays to our natural strengths. We need to combine this with our dominant advantages in e-gaming to become the worldwide mellow superpower we were always meant to be.

That's old skool. Rolling is so passe, as is combustion and smoking in general. All the elite-level marijuana enthusiasts have shifted to vaporizers. Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, etc. Sounds like you need to go back to school, Burnski.

Old schoolers (aka hippies) still like flowers or bud. Vape doesn't have the same buzz or intensity but it is safer for the lungs. Things do point toward distillants and longer term storage. My guess, flowers become "gourmet".

Some believe combustion temps are too high for activating the full spectrum of constituent terpenes.

We were talking to our advisor about starting a college fund for the grand kids (Cal class of '36 and '38), and he suggested this. Just buy some shares now (he mentioned a few names) and forget about them.

As I vaguely recall, the finest quality amber hash oils were available in undergrad chem labs in the late sixties/early seventies. Yes, we were friendly with Cal athletes.

Right you are.
I had an apartment uphill from Cloyne Court in the 1960's.
On a windy day it was obvious that the "faculty" there were conducting a Building wide experiment.
