Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance.
That would be interesting if liverworts contained them too. They’re very very unrelated to the hemp family, and in fact they’re not really closely related to any flowering plant families, but I’m not saying that to say that you’re wrong, I’ve actually never looked into that before. I just think it’d be interesting if cannabinoids developed in liverworts, because that would imply that those compounds evolved independently.
