  1. #Cannabis: "Compared with modern enzymes, the reconstructed ancestors were easier to produce in microbes like yeast cells, the team found. That's relevant given the growing focus on biotechnological rather than botanical methods of #cannabinoid production.

    "What once seemedevolutionarily 'unfinished' turns out to be highly useful," says van Velzen.

    #CBC, for example, is a cannabinoid reported to have #antiinflammatory and #analgesic properties, yet modern cannabis plants don't produce much of it."

  2. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of “pleasure.” That is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 1 “What Makes People Unhappy?” (1930)

  6. A quotation from Euripides:

    «««««
    He’s the one who gives us wine to ease our pain.
    If you take wine away, love will die, and
    every other source of human joy will follow.
    »»»»»

    Of Dionysus
