Hunter S Thompson bud

[weedaholic721]

What is much more likely, is the reporter had no idea what Hunters eife was talking about and added the DNA crap, when she was referring to normal cuttings(clones). Hunter was an active member of NORML for years, he was most likely smoking strains that were available at the time of his death.

 

[FireIn.TheSky]

As far as I know that dna crap was a direct quote not creative writing. Either way it would seem the ppl talking about this have no idea what they are talking about, or possibly hunters wife was sold on are tremendous line of bullshit from a cunning salesperson.

The average lay person has no idea about this kind of shit so they can be easily duped.

 

[420empire]

cuttings, seeds, etc. I guess
Haven´t heard about anything else, oterwise it would have been all over IC MJ breeding section. ?? Riiiggghhhttt guys ?

 

[mojave green]

She just trying to get in on the ridiculous "elite" strain hype peeps love! Heard some folk paying ridiculous amounts for some Russian strain!

 

[hoopla]

A supposed connisseur back in the day. Towards the end he was said to have been fond of a strain known as BinLaden. According to hand me down knowledge from the old woody creek tavern.

That BinLaden...I remember 3 6 Mafia making a song about that strain, lol...anyways, how is she going to clone it via DNA? Very interested to hear how that's going to work...I think they'll find it's a WHOLE lot harder, if not impossible to do..

...anyways, how is she going to clone it via DNA?

Not DNA from dead material. So far in this day and age it’s not been done.

Theres an article in the english times that gives a better idea of whats going on, its behind a paywall though.

TLDR no seeds or plants,marketing gimmick , "i have found a legal method to extract DNA from hunters personal marijuana and hash "the wifey.


when hunter died his will was set up like this

the ranch was left to a trust, where his wife can live until she dies (another article somewhere said its fairly dilapidated).

His wife was left the rights to the books.


Over the summer she bought the property from the trust, gave up rights to the books but "assuming ownership of his likeness and the gonzo logo".


said that shes been approach alot over the years and gave in after feeling his literary legacy had been secured, and the weed side can now be explored.






Gonzo glue and woody creek cookies anyone?

[hellfire]

Just another player in the game of making money off famous/celebrity named strains.

 

[PoweredByLove]

from the way they wrote the quote...sounds like she has some weed and hash...and is going to turn them back into plants somehow?

Gonzo glue and woody creek cookies anyone?

so basically you want to take some ancient unknown unique shit...and then ruin it lol? le oh boy...kids these days...

 

[Weird]

lol by evidence of some of the posters over the year there are plenty of strains that make people cynical enough to commit suicide

 

[Gry]

Gonzo weed. You know it will go.

If the tech was real, it would be interesting to make some clones of the 2,700 yr old cannabis found in those Gobi Desert tombs in China.

lol yeah....sure you were joking...

 

[SoiledMyself]

Colorado Cough, Lime Green Skunk, pockets of Chemdog strains, SAGE foco cut? Probably nothing all that rare and insane , unless he had a stash of seeds from his Big Sur days it seems like a stunt to me, coming from a Kentucky native and big Thompson fan , maybe im wrong?

I heard a scientist talking about being able to clone a mammoth if they were to find preserved living cells from frozen bones so.......


My question is is she also making Adrenochrome more widely available to the public?, for a good cause of course!

Everybody get high and read some HST!!!

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.”

“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.”

“I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes.”
The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuckoffs and misfits—a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage.”

We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world—bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts.”

“KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of the Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. He will stagger and babble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command-including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you. Good luck.

“Turn the goddam music up! My heart feels like an alligator!”

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

I miss Nixon. Compared to these Nazis we have in the White House now, Richard Nixon was a flaming liberal.”

Ignore that nightmare in the bathroom. Just another ugly refugee from the Love Generation, some doom-struck gimp who couldn't handle the pressure. My attorney has never been able to accept the notion—often espoused by reformed drug abusers and especially popular among those on probation—that you can get a lot higher without drugs than with them. And neither have I, for that matter.”

What kind of rat bastard psychotic would play that song- right now, at this moment?”

We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.”

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”

Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated. Was there no communication in this car? Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

No, you won't be smoking Hunter S. Thompson's weed.

From what I've read, Anita was thought to be more of a gold digger than a real wife. Whether this is a ploy to capitalize on the good doctor's name or just a lack of marijuana knowledge is unclear. Anita wasn't the drug master of legend that Hunter was and probably knows very little about marijuana growing. It wouldn't be surprising if she herself was getting duped into thinking something like this can be done when it's actually nearly impossible.

It would kick ass to see what Hunter was toking on, though. Instead, I would vote for hooking up with his weed connection to find out what he was smoking before he died.
