The Next Big Thing in Cannabis: The Rise of Cannabinoid Bioengineering

Introduction

The cannabis industry has never been more exciting or innovative. With rapid advancements in technology and an ever-expanding market, there's always something new on the horizon. One area that's set to revolutionize the industry is cannabinoid bioengineering. This post will delve into why this is the next big thing in cannabis and what it could mean for consumers, growers, and the medical field.

What is Cannabinoid Bioengineering?

Cannabinoid bioengineering involves the use of advanced biotechnological techniques to produce cannabinoids — the active compounds in cannabis — in a more controlled, efficient, and scalable manner. By using methods like yeast fermentation or algae cultivation, scientists can produce pure, specific cannabinoids without the need for extensive plant cultivation.

Why is it the Next Big Thing?

Sustainability

Traditional cannabis farming demands significant resources, including land, water, and energy. Bioengineered cannabinoids can be produced in a more environmentally friendly way, reducing the industry's carbon footprint.

Customization

Bioengineering allows for precise control over the types and ratios of cannabinoids produced. This enables the creation of highly customized cannabis products tailored to individual needs, be it for recreational or medical use.

Pharmaceutical Applications

The ability to produce pure, specific cannabinoids opens the door to more rigorous scientific testing and potential FDA approval, positioning cannabis as a more mainstream medical treatment option.

Cost-Effectiveness

Bioengineering techniques could substantially lower the production costs of cannabinoids, making products more accessible to consumers and potentially disrupting the existing market.

Implications for the Cannabis Industry

Cannabinoid bioengineering will likely transform various sectors within the cannabis industry:

  • Growers: May need to adapt or diversify as plant cultivation becomes less central to cannabinoid production.
  • Retailers: Will gain access to a wider range of products, enabling them to cater to a more diverse customer base.
  • Consumers: Can look forward to more customized and potentially lower-cost options.
  • Regulators: Will need to evolve current frameworks to accommodate these new production methods.

Conclusion

Cannabinoid bioengineering is poised to become the next significant advancement in the cannabis industry. From sustainability to customization, this technology offers a range of benefits that could revolutionize how we produce, consume, and perceive cannabis. As we look to the future, bioengineering could very well be the key to unlocking the plant's full potential.

Cannabis and The Financial System

    While cannabis is widely accepted worldwide by most adults, there are still a lot of concerns about incorporating cannabis into our current financial system. We needed an alternative to cash that could be implemented worldwide, so we came up with Cannacoin ($CCC). Cannacoin was initially created in 2014 and deployed on the now defunct NWGT.org, an online medical cannabis forum. It was meant to circumvent the banking ban placed on cannabis businesses through federal prohibition. Cannacoin is ideal in many ways. It is cheaper and more secure than most payment methods. In a world where cryptocurrency is quickly becoming ubiquitous, Cannacoin is the best choice because Bitcoin is too precious to spend on everyday purchases.

Hemp, CBD, and THC

    Cannabidiol (or CBD) is a constituent of the hemp plant that is associated with physical healing properties. It works on the body's endocannabinoid system as an agent of equilibrium between the various systems of our bodies. Hemp is said to be the original cultivar of the human species. It was the first plant grown on purpose by humans over 6,000 years ago. It can be used for its strong fiber for cloth, rope, and to feed livestock. My theory is that many of the strange diseases and food allergies that arose in the 20th century are due to the fact that hemp was removed from the food chain in the early 1900's during criminalization efforts. CBD is non-psychoactive unlike it's "neighbor" THC (also found in hemp but in lesser degrees) which is well known for it's psychoactive properties and sometimes can cause adverse effects in the overall experience of the ingestion of cannabis. Such effects as paranoia, anxiety, hallucination, and "time shift" amo...
