Israeli-based company BioHarvest Sciences has created a material with all the active ingredients found in cannabis that is 12 times more potent by cloning hemp cells and growing them in a bioreactor.

“We don’t grow the plant at all. We grow them in huge bioreactors in just three weeks — while regular cannabis takes 14 to 23 weeks,” BioHarvest Sciences CEO Ilan Sobel said to the“Our tech can also significantly increase the levels of active ingredients, as a percent of the weight, versus what is found normally in the plant."

"Every gram emerging from the bioreactor in Rehovot requires less water and other resources to grow than a gram from a cannabis plant— and will stretch considerably further in terms of treating patients," Sobel also stated., the biomass that emerges from the bioreactor is made up of cells that are genetically unaltered and identical to those found in cannabis generated from plants.

“The medical establishment has been eyeing the potential of full spectrum Cannabis to address many chronic health indications in need of better treatment options." "These achievements by BioHarvest in naturally eliciting important minor Cannabinoids to significant biologically active levels, combined with high levels of major Cannabinoids, all produced with a high level of consistency, represent a major breakthrough towards the development of efficient Cannabis-based botanical drugs.”could be overcome by the regulated environment of the bioreactor: contamination and harvests with different levels of active chemicals.
