HUH. TIL.

In my early 20s in the 2000s, among my stoner peers "isn't it neat how many fascinating compounds have endogenous counterparts! do you think we'll ever understand how they're made or how the body uses them?" was one of those "maybe we'll never know" sort of topics for discussion.

It's so cool to see science do the whole "first we don't know, then time passes, then we know" thing.
