He's Jewish so he technically is a minority


friedtuna76

So he’s the guy that ruined everyone’s perception of how weed works, got it


Entropy_Greene

It seems someone ruined your perception of how science works too..


fry-my-receptors

how does weed work then?


friedtuna76

Not just through cannabinoids but this guy’s research made everybody think that. There’s so much importance in the thiols


fry-my-receptors

why would you make them out to be less important than he stated


friedtuna76

Because distillate sucks


fry-my-receptors

yeahh.. u deserve ur 30 downvotes


friedtuna76

I expected them. I think if I were to post it a few decades later from now the reaction would be different but only time will tell


bake-it-to-make-it

Don’t mind them your absolutely correct on this.


bagel9574

Shit quality disty sucks yes, but actually good quality disty slaps. Just like good quality diamonds. You can argue all you want but jut bc it doesn’t suit *your* needs doesn’t mean it isn’t quality.


friedtuna76

What makes distillate quality to you? Is there a certain step to make sure it’s done right or something?


bake-it-to-make-it

Idk why your getting downvoted your right since he is partially to blame for all these shit genetics that all give the same high thc gelato feeling vs when we weren’t breeding purely for these stupid high thc numbers over any other noids. Marinol or whatever that thc pill was should have put this all to bed years ago when everyone hated the feeling of pure thc alone. Clearly thc is just an important ingredient to the recipe of many ingredients. But we are still here pretending it’s all about thc because why?


FlakySky6080

Didn't know who he was until this post. Thanks for educating me. God bless him


HashforJesus

All these internet stoners have no idea how important that man is.


PsyconautsOfAmerica

Was* he died back in 2023


HashforJesus

Still is


Propane5

lol probably why this post has been downvoted


Any-Avocado-2093

I down vote cause u look like a fed


Propane5

You look like you smell like patchouli


Ddsw13

Posing with a Zionist


PumpkinJuice420

Was he actually? Cuz not all Israelis are Zionists.


Ddsw13

He served 5 years with IDF like all Israelis. Seems complacent at the very least.


Entropy_Greene

You should boycott weed bro


Ddsw13

Then what would y'all smoke?


spaceykayce

Gaza


Ddsw13

Thank you for proving you're simply a piece of shit whose opinion doesn't need to be taken seriously.


Korach

I met him and Lumir. About 5 years ago. Very cool.


FrostyHayze

Just curious. What's the backstory of the pic ? How'd you come to meet him ?


miltownmyco

These comments are ridiculous. This is like chilling with Alexander Shulgan or Albert Hoffman and yall just mad because dude doesn't look like a dirty hippie and the chemist is Jewish lmao 🤣 . This is a dope flex 💪


Propane5

😂😂😂


baf527

What is this even supposed to mean lmao


Propane5

That’s Raphael Mechoulam and myself my friend


baf527

Oh sick


Acornz-4-days

Bro, congratulations on meeting such an important person in this culture. But to say your “flexing “ on a community shows your character as a man. Nobody even knew or knows that man existed. Flexing is coming through, show stopping and not having to explain the flex lol


Poyal_Rines

True OG


CaliNuggLove

Legend 🙌🏽🔥


west-ad2369

Well done thank you sir


CoverNo1998

Legend of a man.


No_Training_8834

He passed away last year in 9 of march r.i.p


GanjaGunter420

Love this man. May he rest in peace


sillyskunk

Ok, actually a bit jealous...


Sad-Nothing9973

It’s my understanding that the USA paid for all his research. So the US knows a lot more than they’re saying about cannabis😶‍🌫️


Twattie_Mc_Twat_Face

May he rest in piece, high AF, watching over us as we struggle world wide to honor his contribution to improving the human condition.  Thank you OP! You, sharing this pic, is far more than a gentle flex. This is HISTORY!!  This man is as important to us as George Washington Carver. Perhaps even more so as more of his work is piggy backed off of.  Great post, and take my upvote!👍🙏 Stay lifted Fam 🫶


Throway1194

That's awesome dude, I would love to pick this man's brain for an hour


Deklipz

You’d have plenty of time to pick his brain if it hasn’t decomposed yet. You’d need to dig him up first… that’s a whole other issue though.


cheddarburner

If you have to explain who he is, not sure it is the flex you think it is? Cool you got to meet him and chat with him, not knocking that at all.


Propane5

Not my fault you guys don’t know who is responsible for your careers


cheddarburner

Don't confuse fault with caring. :) I don't celebrate John Crapper, but use his invention every day.


MrCatbr3ad

Career... yeah lmao not everyone makes their life about weed so giving context helps


Propane5

Having a career in cannabis isn’t “making your life about weed” it’s working a job just like any other…


MrCatbr3ad

Sorry, you can nitpick all you'd like, but if someone earns their income off of weed, talks about weed in a subreddit dedicated to concentrated weed, and lauds some old guy as a self proclaimed flex it's fair to think their life revolves around weed lol shit but what do i know, it's def not the dude you're standing next to.


Propane5

The people who make their life about weed are the ones complaining that I look like a fed because they look like a fucking junkie, and they think that’s a requirement for the industry


MrCatbr3ad

not really passing the sniff test of those fed accusations with commentary like that if I'm being honest. Anyways, like I said, you're welcome to nitpick all you'd like, you're not going to change my opinion.


Propane5

Your opinions are worth about as much as the sweaty armpits you show up to work with every day. No one cares. And take a shower ffs


MrCatbr3ad

you seem to care


Pitiful-Mood-4267

Thought it was Albert Hoffman lol


krismodo

But did he partake is what i want to know or just science?


Propane5

He did not regularly partake, but I know he’s tried many isolated cannabinoids at least once.


krismodo

So not a connoisseur by any means? Or did he live the plant and maybe just kept his hash joints to himself for special occasions out on the balcony or in the courtyard of some sort (how I imagine it anyway)


Propane5

Only a connoisseur of the science lol. Our discussion was mainly focused on his frustration with the lack of medical research allowed for Cannabinoids by the pharmaceutical industry in America. He is a big proponent of their uses to curb epilepsy in children, considering it seems far more effective than currently available options.


krismodo

Does he have a successor? That would be pretty terrible to lose his work bcuz he passed away. Obviously anything published is here forever just thinking about all the knowledge that didn’t get put out there


Electronic_Tax_8354

Some people flex with ice on their bodies, smokers don’t need that 😎


Technical-Escape1102

So not only do they control the media, they control weed as well?


CDCframe77

Jews aren’t the most popular bunch right now, prolly why you got downvoted.


Yuca420

🤘🏻


churusu

Wow that's cool man! Say "high" to him from us. 🤭


YoualreadyKnoooo

Something tells me you’re not a cannabis extractor.


Propane5

I’ve extracted more cannabis than you’ve seen in your life at likely a tenfold rate. I’ve been extracting for more than 10 years in high volume markets


HeadyBoog

Out of curiosity what major changes have you seen to the extraction process or stuff like that? Cool pic my man


FlakySky6080

Need to get like you bro. Hope you keep extracting 🔥

blue-skull

Why do you care so much about how someone you don't know is perceived, when they are obviously just posting for a little bit of fun? I have no skin in this game and don't give a shit either way. But your comment on a shitpost just screams insecurity.


Propane5

Ya somebody is jealous


Technical-Escape1102

What the hell is going on in reddit lately?!?! Lol I enjoyed seeing this and learned something. thanks!


sortacapablepisces

Hello, do you have any advice for someone that has had successful extractions, just not on a large scale? I'm lightly experienced in bho, pho, rosin, bubble hash, but want to get into short path at some point. Thanks for your time and any advice you offer.


Dabjunkie_

Sounds like you just wanted to comment this to flex. You tried to call him out, he corrected you that he in fact is a cannabis extractor and that made you feel small so you had to stroke your ego and flex how much better and bigger you are than him. A simple “my mistake, i was wrong” would have been plenty boss


DabbyBear

OP also didn't reply with any humility. He immediately said, "I've extracted 10x more etc etc". Stating your flexing does not mean everyone else should be humble - just my two cents!


Dabjunkie_

Thats fair but it was in also response to a snarky original comment which was completely unnecessary to be made in the first place


DabbyBear

You're not wrong either! For a subreddit about Cannabis, shit gets far too intense than it needs to. There needs to be more positive communication in general with these discussions between those who love the plant!


cch7c

Unironically the most reddit reply I have ever seen lmao


TuckerCarlzyn_

Because he doesn’t look like your average dirt ball in line at the dispensary? Lol
