i was looking for new videos about the revolutionary CRISPR gene editing technology (search youtube for that if youve never heard of it - the future is now!) and came across this:

by Prof. Gershom Zajicek M.D. Faculty of Medicine Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Conclusion - 1

All cells in the body carry both antiviral protection systems:
1. Endocannabinoid
2. CRISPR

Microbes in the gut are protected solely by CRISPR.

All cells in cannabis indica carry both antiviral protection systems:
1. Endocannabinoid
2. CRISPR

It's all a genetic arms race; virusses get smarter and so do our anti virus programs.
Gene codes looking for unwanted code, very similar to computer anti virus.

These codes I believe are passed between plants and animals through mRNA's.
Every terpenoid is an anti virus program and new programs are written every day.

Cannabis is a master at copying code, that's why it can be so medicinal with the right codes.
