Scientists Find THC on Meteorite

Old news...but I just stumbled onto it today. Pretty crazy stuff man...!

A team of astrophysicists at the University of Hawaii have created somewhat of a stir within the scientific community after the discovery of trace amounts of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a meteorite found in the Nevada desert in 2010.

Could it be that some type of conditions exist in space to produce the complex molecule without an organic process? I think given the fact that THC is one of the more complex biochemical compounds known to man, this theory is unlikely.

What’s interesting is that THC and, cannabinoids in general, seem to be a ready-made batch of compounds for the human body. The endocannabinoid system is the biological messaging apparatus that facilitates the body in healing and overall maintenance, which cannabinoids naturally work with.

Traces amounts of Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) were also found in a meteorite fragment in 2009 by a research team from the University of Mexico but the findings were dismissed at the time because of the “controversial nature of the discovery” and a wave of skepticism from the scientific community. Further analysis of the sample could now shed some light on this latest finding, believe experts.

I’ve got a bundle of it at my house and it didn’t have to fly through space.
