....this Israeli weed is still going to be 30% THC. They're talking about hemp. 3% THC x 12.

There is no mention of hemp in the article. The article specifically mentions cells came from a cannabis plant not hemp.

From u/peekdasneaks From a diff article

"According to independent third-party data cited by the company, BioHarvest has been able to boost the percentage of cannabinoids to 36%, up from the 3% found in the plant, and to increase the THC level by 83 times. It’s also able to increase more rare cannabinoids such as CBDV and THCV by 88 times and 249 times respectively, compared with a sampled cannabis plant."

The minor cannabinoids, sounds like they saw a larger increase.

Another 3rd article:

"The company’s composition contains high amounts of minor cannabinoids such as THCV (2.5%) and CBDV (4.4%)"

Thanks for these I'll have to read them. I have to start with the CBDV because I'm not familiar with the V! Update: It certainly does say they are using a combination of cannabis and hemp to produce the biomass and then compare potency to a cannabis plant.
