  • @allekans I think it a good thing to at least learn more about the biochemistry going on in cannabinoid production. That might allow for easier selection of specific cannabinoid profiles in medicinal strains to target a disease or symptom. I wouldn't worry about the "natural" genomes that we have now going anywhere as long as growers keep their strains alive. I do hope that genetic manipulation is kept to a minimum because frankly we don't really need it. It's all about human selection.

  • Th people will prosper from cannabis NOT the corporations.
