Cannabinoids are misunderstood, ignored and everything they tell you is distorted for a reason.

It doesn't serve their interests. Many indigenous people's knew better.

I wonder how PHEC66 is extracted.

Found this in the Oct 2023 study: As PHEC-66 contains 60% cannabidiol (CBD), the effect of this compound on its own at the corresponding concentration found in the extract was also tested on these cell lines.

60% keep digging...

And this: This research was funded by MGC Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Australia through grant number RE-03103.

So I don't think that extraction method is forthcoming. However...

My best guess is a tincture and I did find this: https://www.leafly.com/brands/pharmahemp/products/pharmahemp-premium-full-spectrum-extract-phec-66

Persistence finally paid off... PharmaHemp® CO2 extract (PHEC)

https://b2b.pharma-hemp.com/shop/product/pharmahemp-purified-co2-extract-phec/

PharmaHemp® purified CO2 extract (PHEC) obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) plants, followed by a multi-step purification process during which THC is partially removed and other cannabinoids are concentrated. As a result, the PharmaHemp® purified CO2 extract contains a full spectrum of phytocannabinoids with CBD concentration exceeding 60 wt%.

Ooh, you get a bunch of investigative journalist or scientist points or gold stars for your sticker chart.

I give my mom CBD and THC drops and just got a more potent CBD tincture. With whatever various things I've been doing, she has been a bit more functional rather than continuing to worsen after a lapse.

2:10 is half of 4:20, clearly it is time for a nature break. I started watching a 4 hour video documentary.. (post on the way, eventually)
