Here It Comes... GMO Cannabis!

Hugely interesting thread and topic. Wish it didn’t make me feel so underdog ish.

There is a chance you find genetic engineered hemp by nature in the wild for example in Nebraska next to the corn fields

A 2010 study found that under conditions found in nature, A. tumefaciens introduced DNA into a species of disease-causing fungi that is known to infect plants. The study also found that GM DNA sequences in the A. tumefaciens were incorporated into the DNA of the fungi. In other words, the A. tumefaciens was genetically engineering the fungi. The authors concluded that in cases where a GM plant is infected with fungi, A. tumefaciens in the GM plant could infect the fungi, introducing GM genes into the fungi.177 Such fungi could, in turn, pass the GM genes onto other plants that they infect. Genetic engineers had previously assumed that A. tumefaciens only infects plants. But this study showed that it can infect fungi, a different class of organism. The study stated, “A. tumefaciens may be able to [genetically] transform non-plant organisms such as fungi in nature, the implications of which are unknown.”177 The authors pointed out that A. tumefaciens is already known to transform – genetically modify – human cells in the laboratory177,178

Keep on growing

Ive been told recently that clone only pink kush is gmo. As well as chemdawg og, ubc chemo, master kush, g13...ect... Scary shit for sure....

We heard that there are a few strains they have played in Columbia and they call it "creepy" . We had one sample of what might be creepy in that area and we got stoned for 4 hours so they had a nice bud going there lol.. headband 707

Meh. The one case that reached the SCOTUS had to do with a guy who intentionally bootlegged Monsanto genetics, used food grade soybeans as seed rather than buying Monsanto seed.

If, otoh, Monsanto pollen pollutes other strains, it seems unlikely that a patent claim could possibly be made. With Schmeiser, the real issue was intent to use Monsanto genetics w/o paying for them, and that same sort of intent would be necessarily need to be proven with any crop.

Five generations & three growers away from the original cross, intent no longer exists.
