The bees that produce the cannahoney are not affected by cannabinoids because they do not have an endocannabinoid system,<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Not that I believe anything! But I found the story funny. I must admit that he had another idea that I found it genuinely interesting. To treat his own allergy, he has a theory to eat honey produced from the local community. Local bees fly around and use the pollens locally. Therefore, if he eats a spoon of honey everyday, he is introducing into his body a little bit of allergen which on the long run makes \u201cdesensitization\u201d which is decreasing the body reaction to that substance. Again, regardless if the idea is scientifically valid or not. I find it a funny clever theory.<\/p>\n I landed in Phoenix and met another speaker on the train. I know him from Germany since he is one of the leading scientists in the field. He recognised my face from some conferences but didn\u2019t remember who I was. We had some nice conversation and some how discussed what each of us will present since I will present directly after him. Not that we repeat each other!<\/p>\n I stay today in an Airbnb with Adrian. Just now finished a very long conversation with him about politics in the USA and the middle east. He is working in SolarCity which a solar energy company that was founded by Elon Musk\u2019s cousines and recently acquired by Tesla (June 2016). I came to know interesting facts about the conflicts between solar energy companies and local governments and lobbies of regular power companies (utility companies). Topics I haven\u2019t touched before.<\/p>\n I go to bed now to start my mini-conference tomorrow. Good night habibis!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![](\"http:\/\/adham.elshahabi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/aae64-1ci9oozac0whvgfkrnu8hdq.jpeg\")
