It's 5 am and I should have been in bed 7 hours ago. Instead i'm researching ways desensitize TRPA1 receptors to reverse CS gas exposure because someone is wrong on the internet.TRPA1 is so weird. Every cannabinoid tested against it is an agonist?!https://t.co/0yQ7nJDodd

So the US government gave $316k to a team https://t.co/zVHELNAAgV to discover TRPA1 agonists in 2011 and then go and patent their discoveries 8 years later. https://t.co/rlRA4PL52qThis seems... odd?
