Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says

Not grown but imported (soy beans) from Argentina.Don't know where the gmo corn is coming from, but that is also imported and used in animal feed.Recently the EU had given greenlight to 19 new GMO crops to be used in animal feed.

Keep on growing :)

Still a lot less then the USA.....
I don't eat animal food, but I do eat animals, I know the beef I buy is from a farm that does not feed their animals GMO anything, they are grass fed, no hormones or antibiotics, zero. I also know I have eaten GMO crops and animals fed GMO, when I was in the USA last year. I just try and avoid them as much as I can.

Do you know about the Seralini-study from few years back in which rats got GMO-corn(?) and/or Round-up and their tumors got bigger and they died earlier than the control group.

In other studies i've seen tissue damage, population going sterile, hair strats growing in the rats' mouths and what have you.
..and you have heard none of this, yet you're debating here and telling everyone how educated you are. Busted. LOL

See...
That's quite an usual tactic by paid-internet trolls; Claim authority on the topic based on supposed education and then pretend not to know any valid studies that would prove your claims wrong.
It's obviously not working here ,read the comments, guy!
.. and start packing.:thank you:
"Fucking stoners aren't as dumb as on TV shows":moon:


So, I see what you're up to. ..Duponts are paying you? 666



Most of you paid trolls i've seen are so lazy, you don't even bother to create your own "act", you sound just the same as any other trained and paid troll. And because most of you petty idiots enjoy trolling, you don't even uderstand how fucking bad your "act" is!!!
I'd fire your over-paid troll ass if i was your boss.

:)

Shame it doesn't work just like that. Yes they have paid shills, but not here.

What you are experiencing is human nature for which the very shrewd, powerful and educated know how to play like a fiddle. As polarizing and manipulable as the primitive 2 party system we still follow. You can understand the dynamics further, as they all translate to observed psychological/sociological phenomenon.

I don't believe it started out this way and our forefathers warned us against thick government and governed markets.

It seems the other sided of that coin is people thinking everything is conspiracy driven opposed to a manufactured ignorance.

Most people aren't directly on the take, their perceptions are simply easily manipulated.

If you could get a RKS Skunk#1 but it was GMO would you still want it? Is it OK if I make a GMO version, it would be a lot faster for me to do the work?? Just joking, I do not work with GMO's.
I have zero interest in recreating a RKS Skunk#1, I really did not like the smell, taste or effects. Many people did like it, I understand, but I only like to work on projects I am interested in personally. Maybe someday RCC or another breeder I respect will try and do it with my saved genetics, but don't hold your breath.

Sam, you could always release the RKS seeds to Gypsy to sell as a:

"One time limited get them while you can and don't bug me again RKS sale."

Although I suspect time as taken it's toll and nobody would able to bring those seeds to life no matter who they are.

I think they'll be selling live Unicorns on Ebay before anyone can bring life to 20+ years old RKS Skunk seeds.

I like how you demand conclusive evidence until someone challenges you with a counter argument and you answer "is probably"

Where is all the hooting and hollering for "concrete evidence"?

I think the start of the second to last sentence sums it up.

You know, Weird?....you've let yourself go. The backslide...is like sand slipping through fingers. Sucker.

I'm pretty sure your education is not all that...and that you drink way too much. Is it no or know?

Thanks for the evidence of your delusions though.

It's interesting how you judge people.

I just hope you are happy as you bring joy and light to many.

I didn't see you playing with your dolls again sir.

It may be time for you to get evaluated at a mental ward.

I don't think you understand I would have to do a bunch of work, several years to have an RKS Skunk#1 line that was really RKS. I do not have any quantities of RKS Skunk#1 seeds. I have a real lot of seeds and a bunch of clones that are somewhat RKS, the seeds were made from Skunk#1 seeds before I selected my sweeter clones, they will have some RKS Skunk#1 in them. They are very old and can not be sold, some do germinate but less then 10%. I do have many kilos of them so anything is possible. Also it is pretty easy to keep well made seeds alive for 25+ years under refrigeration, I have seeds that I sprouted that I had in the fridge for 25 years and got over 95% to sprout and grow. I tried 25 different of my hybrid varieties and got some of all to sprout most more then 90%. But I made the seeds myself and I let them fully finish before harvest. The Skunk#1 seeds were produced outdoors in the EU and they are not as dark or as well made as seeds made directly by me, as the weather had input into the harvest date, I would of let them finish for several more weeks if in my greenhouse. The problem is not the seeds, in my case it is I don't want to do the grow out and selection work.

Although I'm against GMO's like 99.99% of the time. I have one example of where it's a good thing.

I'm not sure how many of you know this but a good majority of the legal opiates are grown on the
island of Tasmania off the coast of Australia. Many of those opium poppies are actually genetically
modified. Normally opium poppies produce various alkaloids and during these processes some alkaloids
are converted into others. With the majority being codeine and morphine as the end product..

Well scientists have done work on disrupting the enzymatic pathway that converts a precursor alkaloid
of codeine and morphine. This allows this alkaloid called Thebaine to build up to unnatural levels. Thebaine
is used by the pharmaceutical industry to produce drugs like oxycodone. In the past oxycodone was created
by converting codeine and morphine to thebaine going backwards and this process of using GMO opium poppies
eliminates this.

The plus thing about these GMO opium poppies is that they are being grown far away from existing
natural opium poppies in the Middle East and Asia. So those seed stocks are not at a risk of being
contaminated.

Now if only all GMO's were cultivated away from landraces or existing normal plants I wouldn't have an issue with them as much.

LOL ...but of course not.
And hey ..."that's and odd thing to say" ..heh-heh ..no, seriously :biggrin:


Well you can beleive what you want, but..
If i'd be working for a GM-firm which would be eyeing the cannabis markets, i sure as hell would make trolls push GM-propaganda on grower forums.
..and i can assure you i have met more than few paid-trolls during my internet years and the methods are allways the same, thou the topic may change.

Critics claim that GMOs may increase use of chemical pesticides and increase the profits of agribusiness. Pigs might fly. It is a matter of fact that GM crops have drastically cut the use of such pesticides.

I've read they been able to use less pesticides atc only for the first few years till "super bugs and weeds" appear which are immune to round up.
Also rather costly these super weeds/-bugs: ...nothing to see here right?
'Superweeds' Sprout Farmland Controversy Over GMOs, Sep 30 2014
http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/superweeds-sprout-farmland-controversy-over-gmos-n214996
"First came "Frankenfood." Now we've got "superweeds."
No, they aren't a new, more powerful strain of marijuana. The rise in these so-called superweeds has happened, some argue, because of the increased use of more herbicide-resistant genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Weeds are developing resistance to herbicides, because the modified seeds can tolerate greater use of certain herbicides and pesticides. And it's reportedly costing farmers $1 billion in lost crops..."


GM technology is the only technology to be regulated from its inception

LOL ..yea Monsanto did 90-day rat tests for their products and then they're allowed to tell people it's safe for humans to eat their shit for a life time
..and then they claim they know no studies that would show that their products cause harm
Well, the Seralini-study proves Round Up and Monsantos GM-corn are health risks (causes cancer tumors on rats to explode in growth)
Animal Performance Assessments
http://www.monsanto.com/products/pages/animal-safety-assessment.aspx
"The animal performance assessment includes a standard 42-day broiler study on chickens and a 90-day rat feeding study"

They cast a wider net with players that have open API's and steams to news outlets.

reddit, facebook, instagram

The perceptions in this part of the inter webs there is enough spin on perceptions already, we are the sanctuary for the fruits of their labors.

In fact I would be willing to bet they come here for new trolling material.
