Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance.

The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP in 2023.

Okay that's cool but at what concentration?

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago (12 children)

4.43 × 10− 3 µg of CBD per gram of the plant extract, and 1.05 × 10− 3 µg/g of THC

Source?

The article does not mention it and even states there is no thc found in it.

However with what i know of cannabinoids it would be strange to find cbd and only cbd during the entire plants life.
