Dunno if the USC story is true but it wouldn't be the first time and it surely won't be the last time this happens.
Every time I hear such a story, not only here but everywhere, it turns my stomach and makes me feel sick to the heart. It's so sad ;( !
Too few honest people on this planet and those who are throw the towel because of some greedy selfish f***.
A proverb I like very much goes as follows:

Giving fills your heart

@Coldcanna: You are correct. These constituents are rare in many plants and often located to specific plant organs, most often flower petals. For example the reds and purples in beetroot, amaranth, or opuntia cactus are yet another kind of compounds (betanins, replace flavonoids in these species) whereas that in onion bulbs are atypical flavonoid derivatives, both of those are not present in cannabis.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to side track the thread by posting that whole Mustafunk post but it was the only way I could figure out how to post the images.

OO, are you saying there aren’t anthocyanins in cannabis? Or were you referring to betanins and other atypical flavonoid derivatives?

Only plants in the order (classification above family) Caryophyllales produce Betalains. For example, Beets contain Betanin which gives the root its purple-red color.
On the other hand these plants do not produce Anthocyanins.

I was, as pointed out by Agronomist, referring to betanins and some (but not all) flavonoid derivatives. Anthocyanidins/anthocyanins are most likely the only constituents responsible for the red, purple, and blue colours in cannabis.
