Old Parke Davis cannabis strains/strands.....

QUOTE: From Treating Yourself issue #17:

<<Cannabis has only been illegal 72 years, it had all ways been legal. 100 years ago you could buy Cannabis Sativa Americana and Cannabis Indica extract from Parke Davis Pharmaceuticals at your local drug store! In fact in the early 20th century Parke Davis seed collectors introduced Indian sub-continent seed into Southern Appalachia to create Cannabis Americana of equal or greater potency to the Indian sub-continent product they were having difficulty importing due to disruption of shipping from world war one! Parke Davis collected seeds from India, Turkestan, and Nepal, and sent them back to be grown in the Blue Ridge mountains and Mexico! Parke Davis Scientist conducted blind trials on themselves and found the American product both more pleasant and more potent! Those heritage medical strains were selected from 100's of years of selective breeding legally! Nothing today comes close to the heirloom medical strains from that period. Anyone who states that the cannabis of today is stronger than yesteryear is dreaming.>>

What happened to those strains?
I want to contact Parke Davis & see if they exist & since the AMA changed
positions will they be researching cannabis medicine.

We want those old seeds if they exist and DNA salvaged...............

they are in yer local mexi bags man
thats the mexi indica and hybrids, and sats and what nots

 

[elmanito]

I doubt that they kept germplasm of their strains after so many years.I even doubt you can find those strains today in Mexico or Jamaica.

Namaste

It is an interesting question. It would be great to get some of those PD genes. On a side note, whats a strand?

 

[onegreenday]

strand is 'slang' for 'strain'
i think. no

they must have kept the old genome.

why get rid of it?

the law could be changed at any time

and they get the old cannabis bizz backkkkk

i wager they in the deep freez at HEAD-quarters & they kicked AMA to
change their position.

they be cranking those med's soon.....

I'm surprised they no step up 2 testify

all the business they loose in 1937.

They had no produc t 2 replace it.
loosing a good business

I'm willing to bet if we ever wanted to find true RKS, it exists in the work they did, in those seeds. Would be very interesting to find out more about this.
