I was wondering if you know of any studies using the CBD from hops flowers… apparently they are related to Cannabis and have a decent amount of CBD in them. Also, they are abundantly available and cheap.

Project CBD replies: Sorry, Patti, it’s hemp, not hops that has CBD. You’re right that they’re related. The following is from a monograph by Arno Hazekamp, who knows his cannabinoids:

“According to current botanical classification, Cannabis belongs, only with Humulus (hops), to the small family of Cannabinaceae (also Cannabaceae or Cannabidaceae). Despite this close relationship, cannabinoids can only be found in Cannabis sativa. In the genus Humulus, even in grafting experiments between Cannabis and Humulus, no cannabinoids have been found, but instead a variety of so-called bitter-acids, such as humulone, adhumulone and cohumulone are produced. The close relationship between both plant species is clearly shown by the fact that the compounds (cannabinoids and bitter-acids, respectively) are both derived from similar biosynthetic pathways. Furthermore, both are excreted as a resinous mixture by glandular hairs, mainly found on female flowers.
