THC/ CBD in Algae and how it could Save The Planet, 🌍

submitted by humanbias from (self.environment)

Algae produces more oxygen than any other known plant(1). This is phenomenal for us because it is super easy to grow(1)(2). We can even have our homes with algae hydroponic systems that work so fast people even have trouble slowing it's growth(2)(3). What's really awesome is Peter Horvath[A] made a canopy that produces the oxygen equal to 10 Acres of trees, 🤤(4). What's really cool is we can even genetically modify algae to grow THC, CBD, and other canabonoides found in the cannabis plant and I live in Denver, 📞🌱(5) While the original study is hard to find, 🤔 the author @IsabelPenix 🐦 published a paper after the THC/CBD study that could❓ be used for the exact method of implementation (6) There are some really cool things listed here that can be built today, 🙏 (7) Chlorella will save this 🌍 (8)

Please message me for more details, I'm working on making an organization for this and I'm up 24/7 in between sleeps, or please BUILD IT YOURSELF, 💛

Could this THC algae become an invasive species? 🤯😱

Would the oceans smell like weed? 😊👍

Trust me, anything with that much THC in its system is too lazy to invade anything

That is funny. :-)

You'd might be surprised by how much some people can get done while on the weed... Um, according to my buddy... ;-)

Actually, I once had a gf who would come over, smoke a bowl and scrub my bathroom.

Poor stereotype.

I like aquaponics videos on YouTube. Maybe some videos can be made. Maybe a fusion of aquaponics and Cannalgae can be developed - one for every home!

The pods look pretty cool, but I don't believe that one can replace 10 acres of trees. But I don't science very well so who knows.

Between this and Paul Stamet's work on fungal allies, our planet might have a chance of thriving again!
