Marijuana in Space – NASA Discovers THC on Meteorite Fragment
thehealthdisorder.com | February 3, 2016
A team of astrophysicists at the University of Hawaii have created somewhat of a stir within the scientific community after the discovery of trace amounts of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a meteorite found in the Nevada desert in 2010.Meteorite Fragment Contains Trace Amounts of THC, Claims NASA Expert
The team of researchers who analyzed hundreds of meteorite fragments in search of microbacterial data found the presence of Tetrahydrocannabinol in trace amounts, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabinoids, a class of diverse chemical compounds that are found in a variety of plants, but most famously in the cannabis plant.
The study, that is funded in part by a NASA grant for research in astrobiology, is the first documented find of a psychoactive organic compound originating from outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, a discovery that could revolutionize our modern view of psychotropic agents and their “cosmic” origins, admits astrophysicist James Han, head of the research team.
The discovery was clearly unexpected, admits the astrophysicist specialized in astrobiology.
“These findings will have a profound impact on the science of astrobiology as a whole” admits the scientist, visibly perplexed by the discovery.
“If psychoactive elements are found outside of this planet’s atmosphere, what does it say about the rest of the universe? If these chemical substances, that change brain functions and result in alterations in perception, mood, or consciousness in mammals as well as humans, find their origin in outer space, what role then has cometary impacts played on the human species? Or on life on the planet as whole? This discovery ultimately leaves us with more questions than answers”acknowledges the professor.
“It also gives a whole new meaning to the term getting high” he told local reporters, with a pinch of humor.
Traces amounts of Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) were also found in a meteorite fragment in 2009 by a research team from the University of Mexico but the findings were dismissed at the time because of the “controversial nature of the discovery” and a wave of skepticism from the scientific community. Further analysis of the sample could now shed some light on this latest finding, believe experts.

An internet hoax created by satirical website NotAllowedTo.com claims that Astrophysicists from the University of Hawaii have discovered Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a meteorite found in the Nevada desert in 2010. The satire article titled “Marijuana in Space – NASA Discovers THC on Meteorite Fragment” claims that “researchers who analyzed meteorite fragments in search of micro-bacterial data found the presence of Tetrahydrocannabinol.”
The satire article further states that “Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) were also found in a meteorite fragment in 2009 by a research team from the University of Mexico but the findings were dismissed at the time because of the “controversial nature of the discovery”.”

It could just be human contamination! Even Carl Sagan smoked pot! I know nothing about chemistry, but wouldn't THC need to be produced from biological processes? I guess this could be possible considering there are nebula in space containing large amounts of Alcohol. Or maybe it is bullshit.

What i want to know is, the article mentions thc being found in various plant but most notably cannabis. What are these other plants with thc?

even if this was a hoax, it doesn't mean anything but that some pot heads got to the meteor before the scientists did

The article mentions the class of cannabinoids can be found in other plants, not only cannabis.

Cannabinoids in other plants
Phytocannabinoids are known to occur in several plant species besides cannabis. These include Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida, Acmella oleracea, Helichrysum umbraculigerum, and Radula marginata.[29] The best-known cannabinoids that are not derived from Cannabis are the lipophilic alkamides (alkylamides) from Echinacea species, most notably the cis/trans isomers dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic-acid-isobutylamide.[29] At least 25 different alkylamides have been identified, and some of them have shown affinities to the CB2-receptor.[30][31] In Echinacea species, cannabinoids are found throughout the plant structure, but are most concentrated in the roots and flowers.[32][33] Yangonin found in the Kava plant a ligand to the CB1 receptor.[34] Tea (Camellia sinensis) catechins have an affinity for human cannabinoid receptors.[35] A widespread dietary terpene, beta-caryophyllene, a component from the essential oil of cannabis and other medicinal plants, has also been identified as a selective agonist of peripheral CB2-receptors, in vivo.[36] Black truffles contain anandamide.[37]
Most of the phytocannabinoids are nearly insoluble in water but are soluble in lipids, alcohols, and other non-polar organic solvents.

Apparently they also found trace amounts of French Fries, and Hamburgers...

I was just thinking about that scene from Joe Dirt 
Human contamination was also the first thing I thought of, but then it says they actually discovered this in 2009.
So, it must have been verified not to be contamination.
Who knows, maybe the asteroid flew over humboldt county before crashing on the surface.
Anyway, very interesting read.

But if you're in a hurry, and really got to go
If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow
That it's one thing to try and another to fly
You get there quicker just a step at a time

Awesome. Thanks for the info.
Crushed my dreams of ordering some obscure plant over the internet to make some concetrates but nonetheless cool shit.

The article isn't about what other plants contain THC.
If you want to know what other plants contain THC then how about you use your brain and go research online.
Have some initiative.

so what?! a meteor hit a planet right in a bud growing zone or the planet was just weed. After it bounced out it then hit us? Or thc is a part of the building block to everything and just there? Most likely aliens ate edibles shit out the spaceship and it hit a rock free floating. People at nasa are just high covered in residue passing it on to shit unknowingly. weed every so often promotes great ideas that prob built nasa. lol lmao

It was a rhetorical question based on something in the article. No need to be a dick.
