The best part about that paper though is that the scientists didn't know what they were testing. You can tell right away from the fatty acid content of 61% and no mention of any carrier oil at all. Pluscbd gold is in olive oil, as are many other brands, yet the "toxicology" paper totally missed this, lol. No real toxicology study should miss this.

The scientists were under the impression that what they were testing was straight forward, unadulterated, CO2 extract, but that was not the case at all. Otherwise, they should have stated the other methods used in it's manufacturing.

What kind of Toxicology study lists only two cannabinoids and zero terpenes, yet conveniently says for CV's sake that after the fact:

"Newly developed analytical methods and testing since the time these studies were performed have also consistently revealed low levels of other phytocannabinoids (e.g., cannabichromene, cannabigerol, cannabicyclol, and cannabinol) in subsequent batches of this natural extract of the aerial parts of hemp."

Total bullshit. What anonymous "newly developed analytical methods" are they referring to that were developed in 2018 for detecting cannabinoids? As if no one could detect CBN(cannabinol) in 2017, 2016, 2015...CBN was detectable and quantifiable decades ago. It was the first cannabinoid discovered(1800's) and no one else has any issue quantifying it. The CBN content may have raised some eyebrows as pluscbd products will definitely have unnaturally high levels of it compared to any CBD content. This is because of the degradation process they use in their patent to lower THC levels in their finished product over several weeks.

The word "consistently" gives away the fraud too. If they could "consistently" detect these secondary cannabinoids, then why didn't they just list the quantities and proportions in the study along with the analytical method? Greasy palms galore.
