By GMO you mean something that was bred over generations for qualities that are desirable. Genetic modification of plants isn't new and almost every crop you are familiar with has been genetically modified if that's what you mean. Or do you mean there's a Roundup Ready Girl Scout Cookies that I can get seeds from Monsanto for?
To the best of my knowledge GMO seeds are not commercially available as of yet and only really exist in labs and research. It is still very much in its early infancy. I know the Chinese are busy doing experiments with GMO seeds at the tradeport next to King Shaka Airport in South Africa but they are super secretive about what they are actually doing. I wouldn't put to much stock in seeds that claim over 30% THC unless they actually give you the breakdown of the genetics like Ace Seeds does. In my experience and the experience of the people I grow with THC% caps at about 30% with some extremely rare cases going up to nearly 35%. Trust me, when Growers Choice released their apparent 40% THC Oreoz line we all rushed out to get some only to be very disappointed. Below is the type of information you want to see if you want to purchase quality seeds that do exactly what the label advertises. There are also websites like Seedfinder where people will post the test results of strains so you can compare to what is being advertised
I actually know someone with this and while they definitely dont consume marijuana the same way they used to they can still smoke a little bit and not get the attacks.
Far less than the employed people. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Again, people like that don't amount to anything regardless of the environment.
Man I quit smoking weed after a few years of using it while it was still illegal, but I started smoking again once it got legalized and it's way easier to consume responsibly when you don't have to deal with all the bullshit like dealing with a dealer or getting anxious when you hear a siren driving by.
Breeding is not the same as GMO. As you say breeding is the attempt to transfer desired traits from one plant to another and it takes years and thousands of plants to possibly produce one strain. GMO is when you use gene editing tools to directly alter the plants DNA it achieve desired traits.
That's pretty interesting to hear. From what I've told by those who have had it that it was so awful that they won't prepared to test the "never smoke again" statement by the doctors. Do you roughly how much they were taking before they got CHS and how much they had to cut back to not get sick?
They went from smoking tough on the daily to only taking one or two puffs at a time, maybe at most twice a day if at all.
I don't think CRISPR is being used to create marijuana strains. Everyone that I knew who was into growing and breeding used classic methods, they would splice, clone, and pollinate. Even Monsanto with it's Roundup Ready products does most of the work the old fashioned way, then once they've identified a large enough batch of variants with the desired qualities to identify the genes they want to target. GMO that you're referring too isn't nearly as common as people think it is.. by all means tho, if I'm wrong and there is a Roundup Ready Alaskan Thunder, or Grape Ape, correct me.
