If you think all hemp is the same and even that all cannabis is the same, then I invite you to look at the handful of patented cannabis strains and how they differentiate in content. Look at Ecuadorian Sativa, Midnight, New West's two strains, and CW's two strains. These are very different from each other.

If you think the experience from ingesting these will be the same, then I question whether or not you have actually ever ingested any cannabis products of any kind. People who have only tried a handful of "CBD" products are missing a boatload of gnosis.

I go out of my way to grow strains that are as different as possible because when you smoke or eat one for too long, it can lose it's umph. This goes for high CBD or high THC flowers. If they were all the same, then switching to a different one for a change of pace wouldn't even be a thing, but it definitely is.

As another example for how much differentiation there is out there to be had, consider two 30%+THC strains, each with no detectable level of CBD. One affects you like coffee, and the other affects you like valium. To what do you attribute this difference? If you say you don't believe in such a difference, then I will know you are just being an armchair quarterback and have never actually tried these things for yourself. If you say Indica/Sativa, you will be wrong. If you say individual metabolism, you will be wrong.

Ever tried CBN isolate? How about CBG? Ever experimented with terpene combinations? Tried combining hemp with MJ? Ever smoked or eaten a 1:1? There are plenty of things to try in order to convince yourself that you are wrong.

EVERYONE has an opinion, but few hubbers have really jumped in with both feet to make sure they know exactly what they are talking about. Cannabis is one realm where it is better to walk the walk before talking the talk. This is exactly why growers and patients have been teaching doctors about cannabis and cannabinoids for the last decade, and not the other way around.

I also don't get your statement about "real wood" being GRAS. Seems like bullshit, which is also not GRAS:

Putting a GRAS edible oil on an inedible material does not make the inedible material GRAS. So yeah....lots of bullshit all over this board.
