Is it a coincidence that in France, and in many countries in the Western world, the only type of Basil sold - with the exception of small niches in the market - is Basil, of the species Ocimum basilicum, with a predominant chemotype in Linalool?
Indeed, depending on the growing and drying conditions, and the time of harvest, certain varieties of green-leafed Basil (such as “Genovese”, “Grec/Griega a Palla”, “Prospera”, “”Devotion”, “Obsession”...) or purple-leafed Basil (such as “Rubin”, “Osmin”, “Rosie”, Dark Opal”…) can contain up to 75% Linalool in their essential oil.
Or is it because Linalool is characterized by its reputation, and properties, of being a substance that provides calmness, good mood, alleviation of depression, sleep, sedation, etc? And furthermore, is it because Linalool would be the therapeutic substance par excellence for all bipolars, Link, who, according to some studies, constitute up to 6.5% of the population?
This is very good news because, in light of the graphenization of the brain, a large part of the human population - which has lost, dramatically, its way and can not return to the Mother/Earth - we will soon witness a pandemic of tri-polar, quadri-polar people... And this is not to mention the considerable damage to the human psyche generated by the state of permanent “cognitive dissonance” orchestrated, continuously, by the Globalists and other perpetrators of Social Evil.
Is it, therefore, to appease, lull, calm, sedate the Western Peoples - because the social melting-pot is always on the verge of exploding - that their most consumed aromatic plant, Basil, is marketed and promoted through varieties whose chemotype is mainly characterized by a soporific terpene, Linalool?
Is it, likewise, to soothe, lull, calm, sedate the Western Peoples that the most marketed “cultivars” (meaning “commercial denominations”) of THC Cannabis - and, also, the most “feminized” and trafficked ones - have, as their predominant chemotype, two sedative and soporific terpenes, Linalool and Myrcene?
Moreover, Linalool has the reputation of being a cannabinoid elicitor. It acts, synergistically, with cannabinoids, enhancing their therapeutic impact - in light of the famous “Entourage Effect”, recently discovered by PhD scientists whose mission is to re-invent lukewarm water!
Are they, by the way, also, Linalool-type varieties that are promoted in the, uncontrolled, sector - of CBD Cannabis?
In any case, what is not put into question is the more than potential - and legalized - presence of fungicides in Basil, marketed by chemical agriculture, due to the severity of the contamination of Basil by the downy mildew, Peronospora belbahrii, which is lethal, for the Basil plants, in many regions... including France.
According to the RAP French organization, these fungicides are based on the following 5 authorized active substances: mandipropamide, oxathiapiproline, cyazofamide, phosphorous acids, and fluopicolide. What about their toxicity? No worries, according to the reassuring Authorities, as they would not pose any risk of cancer induction - for example. Really?
