GMO cannabis

How about the reference for the study you posted? And what does it have to do with GMO Cannabis, as there is no GMO Cannabis available? Or do you think there is? Where, when, by who? Do you know what bait and switch means?

Sam why bother posting in these threads its like a roundabout going around and around and around yawn.
what happened to the last one that got deleted ?

I agree. I do believe some GMOs may be (nearly?) harmless. What I find disgusting is the way they use them. People talk about GMOs providing billions of people with food to stop world hunger. Unlikely, how are the poorest people going to pay the money to some faceless corporation for seeds every crop. I don't like the fact they can pursue legal action against farmers that use seeds made by there pollen. I don't fear GMOs, I just don't like what they are doing with them.

No idea, I post to counter the blind allegiance to the fear of the GMO Monsanto Cannabis is gonna get us. I always ask the same question, WHERE IS THE GMO CANNABIS?
It is never shown, because it does not exist. This has been going on for over ten years, but peoples fears get continually fed with articles like the one in the first post in this thread, which really said they will do this, we better watch out, not that there is GMO Cannabis anywhere.
-SamS
My biggest fear with GMOs would be contamination of local varieties. Certain plants may not be able to compete with the GMOs, and native genetics could be squeezed from the gene pool. That could be a a serious problem in the future if we lose useful genes.
With Cannabis I don't think there will be any GMO contaminating any landraces any time soon. That would be disgusting for Cannabis if it were to happen.

Before that can happen there need to be GMO Cannabis varieties being grown. Where are they? They do not exist.
If you want to worry find something that is real now to worry about.
That is not GMO Cannabis.

What is really sad is continuing to post emotive pictures of cancerous rats from a totally discredited study that has since been withdrawn by the authors.
Exactly the same occurs on anti vaccine sites still quoting a totally discredited study linking autism.
Terminator seeds were only created because anti-GMO people complained about potential contamination of other crops and the environment by GMOs , terminator seeds were made to ensure that wouldn't happen , but then anti-GMO people complained about those before they were even brought to market so they were never actually sold.
It is easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled.
Because they are sedentary , obese, and are living longer only thanks to real medicine and health care , nothing to do with GM foods.
If canna is ever modified it will be for improved fibre production and drought resistance.
As well as pest and disease resistance in industrial hemp.
Hell, I do not want to smoke GMO buds, but they do not exist, so running around like the sky is falling is maybe just a bit premature?
-SamS
Well then Americas are victims of GMO for sure, as we know nothing else could be doing this to Americans....
fucking ridiculous and sad.
Do you understand the difference between Causation and a Casual or Correlational relationships?

why are you being such a mug? As I said elsewhere ya gonna look a proper fool taking this stance when its revealed that Monscumto or any of the other GM co's are GMO'ing cannabis.
They've done it to practically every other consumable and you think they're not gonna do it to herb? Either naive or in cahoots somehow?
I have never worked with GMO, I am against most GMO uses, that said, I am offended you think I am in cahoots, just because you can't find any GMO Cannabis to show me you are right.
SHOW ME THE GMO CANNABIS!
And when will you admit there is no GMO Cannabis being sold? Or is it always just around the corner just out of view, like the Government used to tell us about the "Reds", today it is the "terrorists" tomorrow it is Monsanto GMO Cannabis is gonna get us all....
Still sad....
-SamS
not defending anyone but Sams argument has always been where is the GMO cannabis that people are saying is on the market now. correct me if im wrong
i do believe in the future it will probably happen. multi national companys dont miss a beat when it comes to money.

If it were possible to do it for drug cannabis , it would be as an easily to patent clone rather than seed , and never released to the public.
Much more likely that the technique would be used on industrial hemp , for non food purposes to avoid any controversy and with far more potential profit worldwide.
Many sites state that GM food is banned in all Monsantos restaurants ,the truth is that only one ever did this as a sub contracted supplier , but its still promoted as gospel all over the net , the anti brigade are dishonest and clutch at straws in the absence of any real evidence to support their cause..
I don't believe in chemtrails , vaccination induced autism , 911 bullshit , David Iike or the tooth fairy , show me the science.
Geo engineering is a possible option for the future but I see no proof it is being used so far , like GM cannabis.

what? are you are asking for proof that gmos are being grown? or are you asking for proof that gmos are contained in a large % of food in US supermarkets? i will grant you that i have not seen or heard about any gmo cannabis crops yet, but that doesn't mean they are not possibly working on it. for now cannabis isnt a big enough crop to warrant bringing a gmo strain to market, but it wouldn't surprise me if they have already made some gmo cannabis seeds ready for the future. they are working on a whole bunch of crops after all, so why not cannabis?
i won't say that there might not be potential in gmo, but i do say the risks are too big. you'd need to do some real long term studies and they refuse saying it's not needed because gmo corn etc is exactly the same as non gmo corn etc. we are supposed to forget that they spliced a gene or several genes in to that plant to make it resist poison. but this is supposed to be the same thing as it was before? gimme a break. i have read reports about quite a few different studies, all show that gmo's will have negative effects on humanity in the long term. but the biggest danger is to the land race genetics, everything is getting wind pollinated by gmo's slowly but surely. even in countries that forbid gmo, they are finding their thousand year old land race corn strains are all getting contaminated with gmo genes. it's a tragedy, these guys have strains that grow year for year with no fertilizer using seeds collected every year. no pesticides needed, maybe not the best yield, but it was a closed cycle and gave them food independence for many generations. even if they were not rich they always had their mais 4x a year.

I had made a comment about Hmo and feminized seeds a while back here.... https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=283662
The other day I posted this gmo page on there because it was somewhat relavent to the conversation(me being a smart Ass) and then this kid OP took my post and started this thread with it
I wouldn't be mad if it got deleted.....
As far as the subject goes I wouldn't doubt it if there are warehouses full of gmo weed ready for legal days

The yield from traditional varieties is poor , not a problem historically when life expectancy was short , most children died and people lived a subsistence lifestyle.
The pressure on land has become enormous as population has increased, , the old ways are no longer viable.
GM is no magic bullet but it has a place in increasing food supply and income in the poorer third world countries , surplus can be sold to help raise them out of poverty.
And you are a naïve muppet with no scientific critique.
