Raphael Mechoulam rest in peace

The "father of cannabis" has passed.

From Wikipedia....

Raphael Mechoulam (Hebrew: רפאל משולם, Bulgarian: Рафаел Мешулам; 5 November 1930 – 9 March 2023) was a Bulgarian-born Israeli organic chemist and professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. Mechoulam is best known for his work (together with Y. Gaoni) in the isolation, structure elucidation and total synthesis of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active principle of cannabis and for the isolation and the identification of the endogenous cannabinoids anandamide from the brain and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) from peripheral organs together with his students, post-doctoral students, and collaborators.




What a long and distinguished life.

Someone who used real product and got real results unlike the fake "news reports" of US cannabis 'researchers' who use synthetic crap and draw heavy erroneous conclusions. I am afraid until it is nationally legal this fake news is all we are going to see.
