Are you really searching integrity inside business ??!?!
In my opinion the problem are not the breeders, but the growers. All want heavy hitting, good tasting, high yielding, fast flowering strains, that are loosing their relaxing effects and having more and more side effects like arrogancy, unhappiness...
When in the past, weed was known for making people more friendly, relaxed and happy...
But the growers that want to sell product grow what the smokers want, and they want what the gangsta rappers are rapping about or whatever sounds fresh, hip and dank... Hell even in Africa they want kush now, lmao.
I can agree with everything you say except this^^
The poor farmers in Colombia grow cannabis, coca and poppies out of survival. There is no love involved in fact they don't even consume what they produce and only grow these plants because they pays just enough to feed their families.
Exactly what I was thinking. They may respect the plant because it's the only thing that feeds them, but they grow it out of need. I sure hope breeders like ACE and all breeders that went there and 'borrowed' their hard earned work they give something in return. These are the only people that actually did some real selecting and breeding from lots of specimens, commercial breeders that deserve the name breeder are counted on one maybe two hands.
