By Jorge Cervantes, The Cannabist staff   Question: What’s the deal with purple nugs? Answer: Purple cannabis foliage is the result of three different factors: genetics, temperature and nutrient levels.   Molecular genetics Unlock the genetic code in cannabis and you will find anthocyanins, about 400 water-soluble pigment molecules that are classified as flavonoids. Although “flavonoid” is not a derivative of the word “flavor,” flavonoids have a taste that is slightly astringent. Anthocyanins are present in all plants. You have seen how they influence the bright changes in plant colors when summer turns to fall. These pigments also act as a sunscreen to...

Go to: Abstract Cannabidiol (CBD), a major non-psychotropic constituent of fiber-type cannabis plant, has been reported to possess diverse biological activities, including anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells. Although CBD is obtained from non-enzymatic decarboxylation of its parent molecule, cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), few studies have investigated whether...

10.31.17 Cannabis, Terpenes and the Entourage Effect Any given terpene can be found to exist in an amazing variety of different plants. For instance, ß-Caryophyllene is found in black pepper, cloves, some cannabis sativa strains, rosemary and hops. Cannabinoids were originally believed to only exist in family Cannabaceae, but have since been found in other families of plants such as family Linaceae (Flax), and Asteraceae (Echinaceae and Helichrysum). About a dozen plants containing CBD have been identified. The variety of plants producing the CBG-A needed to produce other cannabinoids is unknown at this point, the search is just starting. Not...
