Cloned cannabis cells with 12 times more potency are grown in Israeli bioreactorCompany behind the tech says each gram of its product will stretch much further in treating patients than a gram from cannabis plant — and needs far less water and other resourcesNathan Jeffay is The Times of Israel's health and science correspondentAn Israeli company has cloned hemp cells and used a bioreactor to grow them into a substance with all the active compounds of cannabis — and 12 times the potency.Sobel said: “By adjusting specific conditions to which the cells are exposed, we can create different desired compositions of active ingredients, meaning we can dial up and down the various cannabinoids [compounds].”The biomass that comes out of the bioreactor consists of cells that are identical to those found in cannabis derived from plants, and there is no genetic modification, Sobel said.Patients can receive it in smokable form or as pills, drops, chewing gum, and a range of other formats.As well as containing high levels of the active compounds, the biomass is full-spectrum, which means it has the full variety of chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant, and not just some of them.“Our composition has significant amounts of both major cannabinoids such as CBD and THC as well as significant amounts of what have been termed minor cannabinoids,” Sobel said."
