Another thank you to Dr. Justin Fischedick for the pile-o-papers and studies, in support of my quest to solve the CBN riddle, and the study done by Rak K. Rasdan titled “The Total Synthesis of Cannabinoids”. Published by the Department of Chemistry, Carlton University’s “Total Synthesis of Natural Products. Available on line at:

Hee, hee, hee, snicker, snark snort, this paper reviews multiple processes for producing the cannabinoids out of other readily available terpenes.
Not just the d9-THC and CBD that has the rapt attention of the populous, but some that are harder to acquire in large quantities and which have their own medicinal properties.
What a boon to cannabis medical research!!!
Here is a taste:
