Texas Mesquite Tree Has Cannabis Compound

In a discovery that has every Texan looking at their backyard trees differently, scientists have found a potent cannabinoid in the common mesquite tree. Dubbed "Mesquitin," the compound allegedly induces a state of relaxed, drawling contentment and a powerful craving for brisket. The news has sparked a green rush, with landowners suddenly valuing previously ignored scrub brush as "organic dispensaries." Oilmen are frantically retooling their rigs to frack for sap, and a new boutique trend of "mesquite-smoking" has emerged, though it's unclear if that refers to BBQ or inhalation. The DEA is baffled, unsure if they need to raid county fairs, while Willie Nelson is reportedly developing a new line of mesquite-smoke-infused wellness products. "This changes everything," said one Austin hipster. "Now getting high is just a matter of hugging the right tree. It's very sustainable." -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
