Why do they feel the need to fix whats not broken? Maybe we enjoy growing it and thats part of the therapy?
People should be allowed to produce their own medicine and medicate how they wish once it doesnt infringe on anyone else, whats the problem?
this doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, it's not flower, and there will always be people that want flower. and it will drop the price of concentrates a little...once it get's going. i don't see it having a big impact for a few years, they'll have to do trials, it won't be commercially available till they give it fda approval, and at first it will go to universities and labs...and be prohibitively expensive. in two or three years i'm expecting it to be "hacked", and available from online sources, so people will start experimenting with it at home. that's when it will see development for producing concentrates.
they also don't mention terpenes, which i think have a very significant effect that works hand in hand with the cannabinoids, they'll have to either add them, as extract from some other source, or engineer separate strains of yeast to produce both cannabinoids and terpenes, in different combinations
