Hi Lynda,
I realized after I'd posted, of course, but I'm fairly sure that I remember Douglas talking about the building blocks of THC; I never really imagined it as "pure" "THC" per se - couldn't imagine it - that was the joke. I certainly never saw it as an article to bother making a fuss about. I guess there are people who see it as challenging the Creation story? And then there's the current debate about cannabis itself - and it has been identified as a "sacred" plant by many, which must cause irritation in some, especially those in the chembiz. What a world.
I do understand the importance of finding out if NASA itself reported it, but I think that's in the first article's chemical analysis, and I'm sure there is more "life" that could be created by those building blocks - not just cannabis. At the same time there's the question of possible contamination of samples. https://academic.oup.com/astrogeo/article/45/2/2.8/240158
The discovery that the human body has many natural receptors for cannabinoids may also have upset a few similar apple carts. I've posted some text (and link) about it below because it is interesting for me as well.
I really appreciate your efforts - you went through it all! It's surprising that this topic has been bouncing along for quite a few decades now. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they come to any universally (university? :-) accepted "facts" on it - I don't really care either way. I rather liked Churchward's interpretation of the ancient tablets of Mu, that show a "Cosmic egg" moving over the waters ... sounds like those "eggs" might arrive from above. Right now I'm wondering about the missing rooster in the "Which came first, the chicken or the egg" question. :-) The hologram concept/theory (but fact in a holographic photograph) makes it even more confusing in this 3D world, at least for me.
I'll try to remember not to post anything potentially controversial without double/triple checking the source - especially if it's related to something that comes from "notallowedto.com" or anything similar! :-) (yes, I did notice its name and posted anyways!)

What are Cannabinoid Receptors?
from https://www.medicalmarijuanainc.com/understanding-cannabinoid-receptors/
Before diving right into the cannabinoid receptors definition, it’s necessary to first explain that these receptors are a crucial component of the body’s native endocannabinoid system.
The endocannabinoid system, or ECS for short, is one of the body’s largest neurotransmitter networks. The best way to think about the ECS is as an integrated balancing system for the body.
Found in all mammals, the endocannabinoid system is responsible for keeping in balance a variety of physiological functions, some of which include:
Immune system response
Mood
Movement and coordination
Sleep
Appetite, hunger, and metabolism
Memory and cognition
Temperature
Sensory processing
