Even if there is GMO Cannabis one day > There will still be the normal breeding.
Just don't buy GMO gear if you don't like it or pussy b*tch

What is GMO going to add to Cannabis that isn't already present in all the strains out there?
Pro selection over generations can provide whatever your looking for! Just keep s33ds labeled for each generation.

Not sure why you would want to genetically modify weed. For the record, theres nothing wrong with GMO.

Edit : http://reason.com/archives/2013/02/22/the-top-five-lies-about-biotech-crops decent posting on the subject
Monsanto's products cause death. They compromise and violate life. Monsanto's GM corn grown a toxic chemical right inside each and every corn kernel. This corn is what is subsequently eaten by humans.

Rats fed this corn grew horrifying cancer tumors as shown here:



In a recent scientific study, a shocking 70 percent of female rats died prematurely when fed GMOs. Fifty percent of males died early. Almost all of them died from cancer tumors.

leave shit the way natural intended you fucking idiots. PESTICIDES ??? Who the fuck needs pesticides when the have the soil food web. Spend the time to understand soil biology and you'll find out you have many friends in the soil to fight off pathogens and insects.
I see you are not a gardener. When you get pythium rot and lose all of your potatoes or lose a crop of cannabis to spider mites..... preach to me about natural soil biology.

Pesticides - spend the time to understand how to use them, how they break down. Follow label instructions, it is the law. IOW, get the facts, ditch the fear mongering based on feelings.

LOL. Yeah "natural news" sounds like an objective and unbiased source to me champ.

Its like me saying "ALL JEWS ARE BAD THEY PROVED IT IN TESTS" and then linking to Anti-Semite Monthly.

edit: I just skimmed through that article and the only sources quoted are circular links to more pages on...Natural News. Lmao.

You needed to post all that bullsh*t? Any1 on the thread can click on the damn links themselves and know right away UB's link is legit scientific findings. He didn't check PJ Diaz link because he was waiting for some1 to agree with him and jumped on it...

Do you really need to click PJ Diaz link to know its obviously naturalnews VS. GMO

Injecting rats with pesticides probably would cause cancerous tumors...Looks like those rats weren't just fed corn w/ pesticides!

If any pesticides caused that its because they were used in excess or not as labeled. Possibly not even washed off!

I didn't click on anyone's link, I don't buy something because some jerkoff with a degree was paid to do come to a certain. Conclusion ....you can pay a number of scientific researchers to say anything...you ate naive to think otherwise.

That's a feeling not a fact and you're sounding mighty stupid. Universities don't have a dog in the fight, sorry. They're non-partisan looking for truthful outcomes.

Whoa whoa whoa guys, lets settle down, this shit is out of control.

1. Why would you want GM weed? How about drought tolerance, off the top of my head. O but no one wants tougher plants, they're less respectable to grow right? There are lots of opportunities to GM in helpful ways. Like abortion, if you don't want it, don't get it.
2. I fed my rats homemade mixes of grains and fruits and ALL 3 of them developed and succumbed to tumors like those we saw. Not to mention the doses that lab animals are subjected to... If you ate 5lbs of anything a day, you'll get tumors too.
3. The flavr-savr tomato was pulled from the market NOT because it lacked taste, but because the tomatos had weak skin and couldn't survive shipping. Also, the plants didnt yield as well as was originally projected.

My point: know what you say before you say it. Lets speak truth here people. We are all friends, no?
Research, learn, spread truth.

.
why would I want more drought tolerant weed?
1 If I am growing indoors I assume water is as affordable as my drinking supply.
2. If I am growing outdoors then I really think that the cash value of the crop is worth irrigating.
3. Most weed is actually relatively tolerant of dry conditions. for goodness sakes it grows like a weed.


and then finally there is plenty of genetic diversity in cannabis to use traditional plant breeding methods of isolation selection and hybridization to find drought tolerant varieties that have NOT been isolated.

so why bother with direct genetic manipulation of DNA?

I don't understand how you can actually use your hands to type this without realising the irony....

The right-hand bar of Naturalnews.com has about a hundred adverts trying to sell you shit (literally shit, as in cure-cancer-while-tripling-penis-size-shit).

I didn't click thelink, I have no idea if it is reputable or not.

I only know companies likemonsanto are very untrustworthy.

It's really sad to me that any reputable grower of any kind here would support GMO crops of any type in any way. It's stupid to become indignant, even if the source comes from "Natural News".

Uncle Ben really proved to me quite a bit in this thread. I already knew he was a crotchety old fuck. Now I've come to realize that he's actually a moderately intelligent complete dumbass.

Seriously dude? You're gonna defend Monsanto and GMO crops? You make me sick.

why whats the big deal ? NOBODY has proved that any GMO crop in production is harmfull. Its really the religious fanatics like you that are complaining
