RE: Genetic Engineering Breakthroughs: First ever truly GMO cannabis plants

Hello, @alchemage,
First time I've read (or listened to) one of your blogs. Extremely interesting. A question I have that you may not be able to answer:
if the cannabis in the engineered plant is water soluble, does that mean it will not last in the body as long as the fat soluble plant? I believe cannabis is now stored in fat cells (in the body) and therefore hangs around for a very long time, but if the engineered form is water soluble, will that be excreted more quickly?
Also, would this affect the way the cannabis is used in edibles?
Thanks. Just some questions that occurred to me as I listened to your engaging presentation.
Nice to meet you :)

Greetings, @agmoore2! Thank you for stopping by and for your comment. As for your questions, I took some time today to think it through and might have an answer. From my understanding, because of the way the body metabolizes cannabinoids, they would remain fat soluble in vivo. The engineered form only has implications as far as the actual plant’s cannabinoid production and not in how they are metabolized. However, I could be wrong as I do not know for certain.
Thank you :)
