Humans have been relying on cannabinoids for health and medicinal purposes for centuries. Although there are more than 113 unique cannabinoids, very few have been studied. That's because they are present in such low quantities in the plant. We can produce even the rarest cannabinoids at high purity and volumes. What this will do is enable research for health benefits and, ultimately, provide affordable access to the compounds.
