Over millions of years, yes it has. New subspecies have developed in a divergent manner from their parent species. In the scope of human existence? well of course not.

For me the question becomes are we responsible or evolved or simply grown up enough to be using such tech at this point?
The odds that genetic engineering is being used responsibly and or will be used responsibly are probably billion$ to 1 when.
The threat of far reaching unforeseen consequences are my main concern and unfortunately a concern that is overruled by the corporate quest for gold.
I feel like 'if it ain't broke don't fix it', but also corporations like Monsanto and others are looking to monopolize in this crop.
Best case scenario for Monsanto et al is if they can achieve passing a federal law that would keep all naturally occurring varieties (the varieties we all grow now) illegal or simply remaining as they are = scheduled 1, while getting FDA approval for GMO varieties deemed 'safe' etc... = easy way to make GMO seeds etc the only legal seeds and with the passing of the wa,co laws its a perfect time to attempt such.

The question of 'GMO' or Genetically Engineered cannabis is timely and present before us with today's technology.
A poll is now posted in the politics forum seeking to formulate the 'majority opinion' and any opinions that RIU folks would have on the subject.
As this in not a 'corporate' poll it is all the more relevant in representing the 'voice of the people' especially here at RIU and whatever that voice might collectively say.
Please take a moment to at least vote in the poll on this important question.

Actually not anything like 'gene splicing' in this context...no matter how a species evolves in response to environment etc even if 'man' induced like growing plants only under artificial lights for example, the adapted response is still that of the existing genetics of whatever species etc...
Whereas genetic engineering is to redesign how a life responds to its environment from our perception of whats 'good or bad' or a short cut etc and splices genes into sequences that are unique and impossible to occur in any natural procreation process whether assisted or non assisted by 'man'.
We currently have 67 votes in the poll question and at least 33 more votes are needed for a minimally viable sampling in effort to formulate a majority view on this question here at RIU.
If you have voted, thank you its important.
If you have not voted, please consider doing so and thank you because it means a lot in the bigger picture.

No sir, I don't like it, no sir I don't like it at all...
Anybody ever heard of using radiation to genetically alter seeds? Anybody tried this with weed yet, or know of anything remotely similar to this.
I have seen kits available to purchase that contain several packages of irradiated radish seeds. They used cobalt-60 at various intensities. The kit claims that the more irradiated the seeds are, the larger the radish grows and the faster it grows as well!
Now I researched and found that cobalt-60 is commonly used to sterilize medical instruments, certain foods, etc... Apparently there are labs that do this and could possibly do a private "sterilization" if somebody knew where to find one of these labs. Also there are many instruments in the medical industry that could be used to irradiate seeds.
Its just an idea, but if anybody has access to any form of radiation, I would be interested to see how the irradiated seeds turn out.

Do you shop at a brand name grocery store? Because your already eating it and have been for almost 20 years.
Really...Cancer? Do you even know what GMO stands for? You should be more worried about your household cleaning products then genetically modified products. We wouldn't need GMO'S if you fucking rabbits would stop breeding. JAS

I agree the term GMO is much too wide ti say anything GMO is bad.. imvho just because something has been genetically modified doesn't make it the evil people think..
Granted when co's like Monsanto come along and put insecticides and stuff right in a crop, I tend to agree its a no win all around, but GMO doesn't have to mean bad, far from it as it can do a lot of good IMO..

Why?
Because some hippies told you so?
There are many positives that you are ignoring.
that is not true.

That is a misrepresemntation of the facts.

You and 90% of this country.
You need to do more research. Stay away from the "Natural News."
The sky is falling?
I'm not sure you understand what you are talking about.
Now you have descended into lunacy.
Stop posting these lies. If you think feminized seeds are some sort of threat, you have no business discussing this.

We have been using this technology since the early 1980s.
There are over 600 peer reviewed studies that show that GMO crops are safe.
http://www.biofortified.org/genera/studies-for-genera/
How long do we have to wait?
You are making things up.
Do you have anything to back this up?
The natural news does not count.
There are many non-profits making GMO plants. You do not seem to understand what you are railing against.
I trust science more than your feelings.
not all producers of GMO are for profit corporations. Your generalizations do not serve your (weak) argument.

You do not understand what you are talking about.
You posted a lot of lies in that thread.
