Medical THC Synthesized From Yeast

Biochemists at the Technical University of Dortmund have been able to synthesize yeast to create THC, the key component in marijuana. The breakthrough could create a cheap and reliable source of medical THC and cut down on the illegal process of growing marijuana. Jose Marcelino Ortiz and Margaret J. Howell discuss the growing research behind synthesizing yeast for medical purposes on The Lip News.

    Wonder if you could use this yeast to brew beer?

    The science behind this is not new. Synthesizing is the process that creates all the drugs sold by pharmacies.

    β€œYou lost me at GMO.” Are you fucking kidding me? Are you that dumb that you didn’t figure out it was genetically modified after this dude explained that Biochemists created a yeast that could make THC. What else? Do you think these fuckers were walking in the woods and stumbled upon some yeast that created THC under a bear’s fucking ballsack? This proves how dumb you are. This dude explained to you what a GMO was and you were suposedly all for it until he said the fucking acronym GMO.

    That fills me with rage

    These are the most ill-informed presenters I’ve seen…

    it just takes the ability to make your own medicine away from the individual and gives it to big pharma

    Nothing will replace plant matter…

    They are just trying to frame the as bad with this. They are gonna get people sick and blame the thc

    Why are you so against GMO? We have been eating and genetically modifying crops and animals for thousands of years.

    Do these stupid fucks not realize genetically modified yeast make everyone’s insulin?

    Lets put a dumb hot chick next to a smart guy in hopes men pay attention…*never go full…*

    Seriously? The medical fix for everything is to give everyone a YEAST INFECTION?

    Pretty cool, a show with Ricky and Lucy! lol Thanks for the informative video, as always.

    "I have a concern with yeast. Once it gets in your body its difficult to get out"
    LMAO

    This woman is confusing bread yeast with her recent yeast infection.

    "Caveat" means "warning", not bypass.

    Ofcourse scientists will use yeast to produce the compounds in the most efficient way. However, many medical marijuana users, find growing their medicine hold an extraordinary power of healing also. Botany is a wonderful hobby. With any disease or illness we might face, keeping your mind happy is what is the most important part. The growing fills that role perfectly for many people, even those not ill the hobby of cultivating marijuana is exciting and interesting to most, and help boost the quality of life for many people.

    Awesome. They should quit smokin’ and get on it so the rest of us can benefit too.

    LOL, he said MGO 1:38

    GMOs not necessarily a bad thing and all depends on the way you go about it.as long as they don’t do to anything else what they’ve done the corn we should be okay.also during the extraction process of the THC separating it from the yeasts very easy because yeasts just not survive the extraction process if it would then you would technically be digesting bread because yeast is baked and it’s in 🍞
