Artificial, bogus, dummy, factitious, fake, false, faux... I could go on,

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that synthetic CBD in most cases comes from reprogrammed Streptococcus and modified yeast, and that's before we get to washing with Thiocyanide!

  Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive coccus (plural cocci) or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae, within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota.^[2]

  Thiocyanate (also known as rhodanide) is the anion [SCN]⁻. It is the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid. Common derivatives include the colourless salts potassium thiocyanate and sodium thiocyanate. Mercury(II) thiocyanate was formerly used in pyrotechnics.

Seriously, let's look at other words that mean 'synthetic': Artificial, bogus, dummy, factitious, fake, false, faux... I could go on, but I think you get the picture. None of that says 'real'!

Is it me, am I the only one to be concerned by cannabinoid facsimiles?

• There's been zero deaths from plant derived cannabinoids, yet the press have reports of deaths from synthetic cannabinoid consumption! link
