In past discussions the user's on ICMAG have agreed that both monoecious and dioecious plants serve a purpose in cannabis cultivation, for hemp it was mentioned that hemp seed growers prefer dioecious for 2 pollinations one by regular males and one by regular females. In alot of places where males have been culled for many centuries and the sin-semilla practice took place, for example E. India. It is hard to find true males in some of the lines, because after long enough of them culling all the males the plants ended up only having seeds from females that sent out pollen in a last-ditch survival effort, and thus each generation you would end up having a lower percentage of true males each generation. The main issue with feminized seeds exist or contamination, a new grower whos more likely to buy some fems is growing some outside and stresses them out then next thing all his neighbors grows are infected with feminized seeds... I understand some people want to profit or hold on to a specific phenotype, but thats not for the better of the cannabis plant its ussualy for personal attachment or monetary gain. nothing in life is forever, including us we can enjoy our plant and let it live, grow and consume. but variety is the spice of life. your going to lose that growing stable fems or some clones all the time. pretty soon cannabis prices will be what they should be worldwide very low. on similiar level to tobacco perhaps a bit more but good buds shouldnt be more than 1$/ gram. once greed is taken out of the industry, there will be more focus on passion and effects than yield and numbers.

I'm not sure any country has grown sisemilia for centuries as you pretend, where did you find this info?
If pollen contamination was really a major problem it would come from hemp and CBD plants.And claiming weed should 1€/G is absurd, farmers deserve to earn a decent living and indoor production cost is already at this price.
And it's more rare for plants to herm outdoor. I'm sorry but none of your post makes sense

Yeah that nanner pollen from fems going backwards doesnt make it far nor numerous in quantity...those farmers are a bigger threat by far
