Key Quote:
“There is a big place for synthesis within the industry, but there's a big misunderstanding that a lot of these molecules that you're already consuming on a daily basis are synthesized. There is a process done in a lab to get these molecules, and there's good to be had with that as long as we follow safe procedures and we have proper testing.” - Tyler Roach
