Man, the science on this plant just keeps getting deeper, and it’s got me seriously re-evaluating how I look at my garden. I’ve been reading up on flavonoids lately—the compounds responsible for those deep purple hues and killer taste profiles—and how we might actually use them to dial in specific therapeutic effects alongside cannabinoids and terpenes [See the full article on Cannabis Now](https://cannabisnow.com/got-purps-dialing-cannabis-effects-flavonoids/). As a grower, I’m always trying to unlock the full potential of the flower, and realizing we've barely scratched the surface of these color and flavor molecules has me itching to experiment with my next run.
Speaking of history, I stumbled on a mind-blowing piece about a underground publication from 1969 called *The Marijuana Review* [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/culture/marijuana-review-1969-first-cannabis-magazine-rescheduling/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=marijuana-review-1969-first-cannabis-magazine-rescheduling). It was run out of a Buffalo dorm room with Allen Ginsberg advising, and they were already making the exact same scientific arguments for legalization back then that the DEA is finally conceding to today. It’s wild, and honestly a bit frustrating, to see proof that we’ve been running in place for over fifty years because of bureaucratic stalling, but man, you have to respect the absolute legends who laid the groundwork for us.
