All the electronics in the reactor use various semiconductors which require the same toxic stuff as solar panels: rare earth elements, gallium arsenide, etc. Someone mentioned neodymium magnets... well the reactor generators also require magnets.

Not the doc, but I'll take an amateur attempt at this question...

THC gets metabolized by multiple enzymes that are part of the Cytochrome_P450 system. Smoked weed goes straight into your bloodstream, whereas edibles are first metabolized by enzymes in your liver. The amount of these enzymes is determined by genetics. Here is a page discussing the role of CYP2C9. So if you are naturally high in these enzymes, it will clear the THC out of your bloodstream quicker, and have a more pronounced affect on edibles.

In addition to genetics, other drugs and medicines can inhibit or amplify the ability of enzymes to metabolize THC.

However, THC is also metabolized by CYP3A4, into a highly potent molecule 11-OH-THC. This is probably why some people get strong effects from edibles. CYP3A4 is rather interesting, as there are many inhibitors found in food and spices; some of the common ones being citrus (grapefruit in particular), turmeric, as well as over the counter medicines such as Benadryl and certain antacids.

So there there are a variety of ways to enhance the effects of weed, look into potentiation.

At 57, this is my experience as well. What is left of my career will most likely be contracts or side-gigs.
