—"Ebbu has completed the initial pharmacological fingerprinting of CB1 and has nearly completed its analysis of TRPV1,” said Brian Reid, chief scientist at Ebbu. Cannabinoid receptor 1, or CB1, is recognized as the cannabinoid receptor responsible for the main psychoactive effect of cannabis, and TRPV1, the transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1, also known as the capsaicin receptor and the vanilloid receptor 1, is a very important target for the perception of pain. Mr. Reid further stated, "Our findings are remarkable. We have identified 11 compound combinations that have synergistic or other notable effects on these two receptors."
—"Specifically, Ebbu has found:
6 terpenes that moderately increase potency of THC at CB1
2 terpenes that strongly increase the potency of THC at CB1
2 cannabinoids that moderately increase the effect of THC
1 cannabinoid that has a unique interaction with THC. It's both an antagonist and intensifies the effect of THC at CB1."
—"In addition, Ebbu has uncovered significant results on TRPV1, which is a very important target for the perception of pain. Ebbu found one terpene that synergizes with THC at TRPV1. Our research will continue examining other combinations of cannabinoids and terpenes.•ebbu, LLC—Dooma Wendschuh co-founder"

—”WE BELIEVE THAT THROUGH RESEARCH WE CAN POSITIVELY CHANGE PEOPLES LIVES.
Research, consumers, and the marketplace all tell us that cannabinoid products can positively impact people’s lives. From their social and recreational significance to their medicinal qualities, versatile cannabis-based products can enrich experiences, create background tableaux for storytelling, and potentially help heal what traditional medicines can’t. Culturally, Americans embrace the qualities of psychoactives such as alcohol and caffeine. From a responsible champagne toast at a celebration to the much accepted morning cup of wakeup joe, adults here often rely on psychoactives to round out an experience or to create a sense of wellbeing and alertness. And now we have an opportunity to welcome a new player to the roster of culturally accepted psychoactives. This one is even arguably healthier and safer than the others, has been credited with unleashing creativity in musicians and artists, and has proven medicinal benefits. However, to fully become accepted in the mainstream, cannabis products need to create effects that are predictable, trustable, and consistent.”

—The Seattle Seahawks and the Road to Victory
At the start of the 2013 season, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson challenged his teammates to believe with one simple question: “Why not us?” It took 38 grueling seasons, but in 2014 the Seattle Seahawks and the Northwest celebrated their first-ever Super Bowl championship victory.
They didn’t do it alone. Every game day, a tenaciously loyal and record-breakingly loud fan base gives the Seahawks a 12-on-11 advantage every play. These passionate fans are known worldwide as the “12s.”
To honor them, the Seahawks retired jersey number 12 in 1984—and since 2003, the team has raised a “12” flag before every home game to symbolize the importance of, and deep connection with, their loyal supporters.”
