Figures Shamera would come to defend the men in the tower. Yeah Yeah we know. We been doing it wrong, you "others" are the only ones backed well enough to do it right. Good thing dna testing was done prior to the DEA, huh? Then we'd know who these people really were.

So we've proven either shitty bud wins today's competitions, or that terpene counts have nothing to do with loudness and flavor. You can get 3% from any

... From any pot shop. (shit forum software). You cannot even smell 3% if you run a grow. Terpenes are just undertones. Weed smells like weed acetates, with terpene undertones. But the "future of Cannabis" is based on test tubes not organics,and that agenda is guided by a market currently being forged by Insys synth cannabinoids in perfume solvent e-joints. I'm so glad Chamera filled us in that they use natural inputs. What an odd detail to add. Thats the kid screaming "i didnt do it!" before they're even busted.

I've never been to a Cannabis event but after 20 years I can assume the Emerald Cup is a sellout event doing what the rest of the industry is doing: selling mediocre or even artificially "enhanced" weed as top shelf products, so people will buy the Phillip Morris, GW mersh down the road, with its lab thc and fake lemon terps.

I've seen several cup winners that wouldn't sell in my hood. The best growers don't attend cups. 15% terps, where the weed stops smelling like weed, but still smells like weed. That was the future 10 years ago? Not weed that smells like one single bottled store-bought note and tastes like bottled store bought terps. Bringing good weed out of the closets? Only the DEA been doing that. While the industry pretends weed should smell like cheap single bottled notes, and not like weed at all. Obvious reasons. The future is clean. Aint no cheapo skunk perfume. As soon as there is: Marlboro Black n Whites. Hell GW even has Skunk but how can they afford to grow organics on a massive scale? They cant, so phenols are discredited and stupid water soluble terpenes are pushed as the goal.

From an old outside perspective I dont even recognize weed anymore. 1k lbs smelling like necco wafers, thats what the dispos want. Offer to pay 3k for the best weed around and it all still smells like necco chocolate reggie bullshit.. No wonder no one grows good weed. Dispensaries selling wax for 20 bucks all day, straight reclaim. I had no problem paying 100 a gram for real wax 5 years ago. Where is it today? Oh it's only 25 a gram, and it's more legal now, so i should be happy? God damn, cheapness and ignorance and fake ass shit are the future of weed. I bet i could win a cup with Loran and literal perfume products on some M39. The last cup I heard about, some basic looking Durban Poison won, and it smelled like fake ass fruit juice for fucks sake.

Exposure to gimmick weed has ruined weed standards for anyone willing to have a brain about what they are smoking. The average paying consumer does not care about quality. The average Cannabis judge is not qualified. Dont pay attention to these cups. Its more like the best of the worst from what I've seen.

When you put science behind the plant, you get results.

I saw all their samples; their flowers were dank, tasty, and well grown - under the Cali sun.

Don't hate them, celebrate them. This is a peek into the window of what the cannabis of the future will look like. High cannabinoid content, high terp content (3% by weight), dank af.

#182 - Lemon Crush

"...And by a HUGE landslide #182, like, not even close... like quadruple the scores of anyone else.... Their score was 121, and the next closest one was 46."

Amen !! Utility Patents at that .....

Do a patent search on them and prepare to die a little lol

I’ve never worked for Molecular Farms. I did work for a private research company in Cali for a few years, overseeing breeding and some other projects. Some of the folks from molecular farms were clients of the company I worked for.


I havent worked with that group in some years. As far as the patents go - you should ask those involved with them. Despite repeated claims and speculation by those ignorant to the details, I was not involved in any patents.

Patents clearly detail the names of those related, and my name is nowhere on any patent docs - I’ve never filed a patent in my life.

To the single posters, funny that you come here just to start discussion and take pot shots at people doing good work and making improvements.

Molecular Farms grows dank herb; the judges agreed en masse. Sorry you have such a hate on that you can’t appreciate dank flowers when they get some recognition from the community.
The CBD/CBDV Cultivar is something totally unique on the market and patients will benefit from it. How that’s a bad thing, I don’t know....

I'll take a shot in the dark and guess one of the three: Biotech Institute, Napro Research, or Abatin? Very interesting companies!

Common sense tells you that they can't win by such a margin. Keep lieing to yourself but it's not gonna get through to us with common sense. Maybe they deserved to win, but I still don't see a landslide in the weed world unless you have some gm crop.

Thanks to the posters for their morality lessons re: patents. Those who don't / can't DO the work it requires to patent usually have the most entrenched (negative) opinions about the process.

It sure as hell is unique. Was that your work? Some ladies out in the woods brought a similar profile (but THC/V) to market this year in the bay, but that's the first sizable CBDV fraction I've seen at a festival. Very, very cool. We're still hunting for that one; available reference standards (CBDVa / CBGVa) have made early detection via leaf unlikely.

My thoughts exactly first Sam mentions the possibility of CRISPR being used on cannabis (in the future), claiming it's not the same as GMO even though it is genetically engineering cannabis in a laboratory.

Then you have a company Veritas Pharma Inc. who has genetically engineering cannabis as a goal that's been around since 2015 at the least when they got the first patent on a cannabis cultivar.

Of course we have no chance to stop any of it but to breed our own and not bother with the bells and whistles of the next greatest strain. I would figure they will hide genetic engineering as long as possible but it's pretty obvious it's happening, we just don't have a whole lot of facts because big corporate money is behind it all.

A bit like how we don't know who really runs the Federal Reserve Bank. Lol, can't even find out who the majority shareholders are. Can't stop something you can't prove no matter how unconstitutionally we are getting fucked.
