New modified CBD compounds dissolve up to 14x better in water and kill lung cancer cells more effectively! Anti-cancer effects: Some modified versions (especially 1a, 1b, and the L-valine one) killed lung cancer cells better than regular CBD.

Conclusion: By attaching different chemical groups to CBD, the researchers could dramatically improve how well it dissolves and, in some cases, make it more effective at fighting lung cancer cells in lab tests. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4221…

We got a negative review, I guess the reviewer doesn't realize we are mandated to have 24/7 security cameras, and, that AI can transcribe audio and provide feedback. AI's comment after transcribing the audio is priceless. (Very bottom of last screenshot)

It's frustrating to have a new product drop yesterday on the BCLDB for wholesale buyers. Then today I see it's ready for customers to purchase at the BC Cannabis Store. We have to wait 8 days to get it in stock. And, it is already on sale at the government stores!
