Liverwort(Radula perrottetinene)
Image of PET molecule, by: Wikipedia
Psychoactive: Yes, and legal. 22x less psychoactive than real delta-9-THC.
Classification: Cannabis alternative, non-synthetic.
Plant Family: Radulaceaea; Genus: Radula; Species: R. perrottetii
Common nicknames: Liverworts; liverwort; liverswort;
Properties/Medicinal Benefits: Similar to THC from Cannabis. Several of the discovered components of liverwort show biological activities such as psychoactivity, vasopressin antagonist, antimicrobial, antifungal, and NO production inhibitory activity, and cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines[2]. Some Portuguese species are rich sources of sesquiterpenoids[2]. Depending upon strain, some contain α-tocopherol;[2]
Works well with: Echinacea purpurea/angustifolia, passion flower(harmala, harmaline;)
Phytochemicals: PET(Perrottetinene)[a cannabinoid] Marchantin A; bibenzyls including bibenzyl cannabinoids and prenyl bibenzyl derivatives, as well as bis-bibenzyls.[2] PET has been identified in five different species of Radule! Including marginata[x]
All of these are documented on academic databases like PubChem and Google Scholar. I link to them at the bottom of every page. [ Note this is not all of them that exist within the plant, and I never claim to cover every one of them. I try to get as many as possible listed though. ]
Warnings: N/A
Natural habitat: Native to Japan; Northern island of New Zealand in the Pacific region as well;
If you live in a state where both hemp derived THC and marijuana are illegal, listen up! PET has arrived ( perrottetinene, aka "bibenzyl cis-tetrahydrocannabinol"[1] ) is a chemical that naturally exist in liverwort, a type of seaweed native to Japan, New Zealand, and in other sparce areas of the Pacific. It's scientific name is Radula perrottetii. One study confirms that "Its pharmacological activity with the endocannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) has been demonstrated"[1]
What is phytochemistry: It's basically modern alchemy. Albert hoffman was a phytochemist, and he's the dude who discovered LSD. We know about stuff like Caffeine, thc, cbd, morphine, etc, thanks to this branch of chemistry.
Genesis 1:29 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for nourishment(health; meat; food; wellness; vitality)".
Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."
