RE: Cannabis - To Modify or Not To Modify
The extracts now being sold in California are safer than the glyphosate covered vegetables at the local market. Regulations require inspection for pesticides and microbials. I agree that there is plenty of corporate greed entering this space and transforming it purely for profit. However, it's the old school growers that have taken cannabis to the next level, not VCs. The cannabis I smoke today is way safer than the stuff we used to get 30 years ago that had mold, mildew and the occasional diesel fuel fumes from being trucked across the border in a fuel tank.
You'll get no argument from me in terms of the filth they place on and in the food supply, but truly that in no way addresses my position. Hitting your self in the face with a hammer is far better than shooting yourself in the face, so lets all get our hammers ready, right? Well no, these are both harmful, and so both should stop. Addressing a greater evil does not justify a lesser evil. They have to be addressed individually, and so I suggest that we do. You do make a good point that several modern standards are safer than past standards, so I'd like to ask you to list several if you be so kind. What would you say are the top five benefits of modern cannabis farming, and what did they improve? I will note, however, that the need to smuggle cannabis in fuel tanks was born of legal limitations which in many ways represents a corporation, government, gang in its own right. Obviously I have as little respect for the government as I do the corporation.
Crossbreeding and extracting is in no way "evil". This discussion is pointless.
If you'd paid attention you'd see that cross breeding and extraction are not our primary topic, rather it is the standard by which such is conducted, and the lack of standards by corporations whose agenda in monetary profit. Good day to you, sir. Please do find yourself a discussion with a point. lol
Not the primary topic, but relevant. Can you show me spectrometer readings from trichomes that contain the synthetic nutrients from non-organic growers? Until you can, it's just misguided speculation. In terms of GMO I do not know that it has taken "root" in the industry as of yet.
You mention entheogenic properties...i.e. 'getting high'.
That corporate greed will destroy the quality of a consumable is not speculation whatsoever, as there are more than enough examples across the market of plants of any kind. And No, sir, the term enthogen does not imply getting "high". It implies conscious expansion and shamanistic uses, not the lay persons recreational base consciousness.
