I have to admit I felt sorely tempted to alter the title by adding a ", dude!" at the end

The title is rather clickbaity: while technically correct, it could easily have been concise and accurate if it said "CBD, a cannabis compound, Discovered in Different Plant", but then it would have enjoyed much fewer clicks... wouldn't it?

I don't really know how many clicks the original article enjoyed, I can only be certain of 1.

Is it Beta Caryophyllene?

Dogs can't tell which it is.

Sources of Beta Caryophyllene: black pepper, cloves, hops, basil, oregano, cinnamon, and cannabis

Caryophyllene: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caryophyllene#Natural_sources

"Even Dogs Can’t Smell the Difference" https://www.tba.org/?pg=Articles&blAction=showEntry&blogEntr...

But really, there are thousands of analogue chemicals in oranges, too.
