so are you working on this idea right now? you have something going in the way of making this happen?

even though the DEA would just make the new plant illegal too, but whatever.

no, im not working on it now. if i wanted to do it i would need lab equipment that i do not have and cannot afford. i would need at least a hundred grand or access to a university lab...which i actually have...damn now that i think of it maybe i could do it...but i'm graduating in a week soo there goes that idea. anyway, this kind of thing is done all the time in plant bio labs, especially at my school, it just aint done with the THC gene because, well, that would be illegal. SO. the reason no one sees this happening is because in order to do it you need to be 1. a pretty slick molec biologist (prolly at least a grad student) and 2. have access to a fully equipped lab. If you had these things you could just read some of the literature by labs that have already done this experiment and basically copy them. it really wouldn't be that hard...as is standard for scientific papers they give a details methods section so that everything can be replicated. but in reality i don't know how efficient their technique is. rather than go through all of this it would probably be more efficient to make synthetic THC, in which case you would have to go consult some organic chemists. All in all, i think just growin some bud is still more efficient and much easier. i wonder, however, if anyone has grafted weed to other plants. that would be much easier and might look kinda cool....but of course it wouldn't be self proliferating, nor would it be as conspicuous. cheers and smoke weed everyday.

or you could just breed a bunch of strains that dont have any smell, presto a strain with no smell at all presto

FUCK YES now there is an idea worth the time and money...

Like I said keep weed the beautiful plant it is and alter it to be better...

And to the guy with 5 posts two posts above this one...

PLEASE MR JUST OUTA COLLEGE BIO CHEMIST, dont come on here and lie about your background to feel cool...

You googled a paper and all of a sudden your a plant bioligist, I dont believe you, and seriosly lame buddy.

Even if he did just google it, it's correct info.

yeah, but does the'new cali orange' get you as high as weed? will this lead to a sub-culture of 'juicing'?! are these oranges going to cause munchies, or delusional ideas about growing tropicali orange juice? will it be approved by the FDA(or will they have to make a t.v. ad with lots of contraindications in order to get the FDA fast track?) so many questions...what was the question?!

You know there have been 4 total guys who have come into this thread claiming they know what to do to make this work..

All 4 have said different things about how to accomplish it..

Im not knowlegable in this at all, I am not claiming to..

But any body can sound intelligent with a lot of words...

If you want I will go back through the thread and post all 4 different prospectable ways that various "EXPERTS" have said it is possible...

maybe one will be right or close....

All of the ways that have been suggested are correct to some degree, but some take more knowledge and resources, others take more time, etc... As for me, I just know what I've learned from google and school classes.
