I am so shocked that Monsanto has not gotten into the canabis seed biz yet. In Canada with it's nation wide medical marijuana, i'm shocked that Monsanto has not gotten the account to exclusively provide seeds to Health Canada (I believe that's what it's called.)
I know in my heart that Marijuana will be legal in the US some day. When it happens, it will only be because Monsanto has patented every cannabis seed that they can get their hands on. Those found growing weed with non Monsanto seeds will not only be arrested, but sued by Monsanto for Patent violation.
I am not one for Hyperbole,
but
Monsanto want to own every seed on this planet.
keep an eye on them.

peace

ppl need to understad that breeding and genetic modification are not the same thing.... any moron can pollinate a plant and produce seeds....but you need serious equipment,megabucks and a lot of specalist knowledge for genetic modification... its not anything like breeding at all...its a case of entering the microscopic world and tinkering around with the "factory settings" of the organism for want of a better way of putting it taking things from olther organisms or removing things.....
Ive been outknocking down GM "straight" crops and id do the same with GM ganja..... If all that were on offer were GM ganj, id quit.

it will be clearly shown soon...
that this proliferation of seed companies and online grower forums... was largely a corperate assault on the marijuanna plant AND the community of those who love it...

90% of the seedstock will be show to contain GMO sequences...
making the future legalization of this product ENTIRELY OWNED by big business...

and the NOTION of the community REVOLTING about the situation irrelevant...
as theres nothing to be done about it now...

now that thousands upon thousands of us have come to depend on seeds crossed infinitum...

Ben ttech,
I don't agree that 90% of seed stock today is GMO seeds.
The weeds that is grown from today's venders
is potent
is able to be cloned
is not sterile, so one can produce f2's if needed.
But I do believe that the only way legalization will happen in america
is only if those seeds are patented and owned by one company.

and I have a good idea what company that will be...

NG & Fallen Buddah: In a sense you're right, but I'm not sure if a hybrid plant classifies as a GMO. Generally when I think of GMO I think of gene insertion, or enhanced gene expression... basically.. something made in a laboratory under non-natural circumstances (i.e. not from breeding of haploid cells).

The End is Near: Yes, I completely agree there is an ethical debate over GMO's. I don't mean to open a can of worms, but I think it's good to go against US business practices which you don't support. However, if a marijuana hybrid was produced that was advantageous over hybrids that have been produced, and was the same $12 for a clone, would you buy it? Say it produced more THC, grew faster, and didn't produce as many compounds which become carcinogenic upon smoking.

I'm mereley proposing the idea not as a political question, but as a preference question for regular marijuana users. I suppose most medical users would rather take a couple hits of extremely potent herb than toke it all day long compromising their lungs. In reality, there will not be a bio-tech company producing a GMO marijuana plant and reaping the rewards of a helpless medical community, the laws absolutely will not allow this. HOWEVER, there are certain well seasoned growers amongst us that undoubtedly have the knowhow and capability to produce such a plant.
i realy do understand everything your saying here, and the mad scinetist in me would teeter on the idea but my inner hippie (and he will always win) is sayin , in all honesty, if it aint broke then dont fix it. even as out of the way growers, we mess with mother nature enough and so far i think we are llucky that thigns havent gotten too crazy or out of hand, but i think , mainly for MJ, genetic tampering out side of teh crossbreeding parameters is a bit much.

i can see the enthusiasm in you posts!! (lol no B.S. i can, anytime someone comes on here and throws factoid after factoid is obviously compassionate about said topic), but you got me with the glowing tobacco plant. . . . . . .why does it have to glow exactly? and really tobacco plants dont need ANYTHING ELSE added to them.

remember: if it aint broke dont fix it. :joint:
