No no no to Monsanto. We already have issues with people spraying too many pesticides on cannabis without Monsanto. The last thing we need is to make a plant that's resistant to showers of pesticides. You really want to smoke weed like that? You may as well go smoke a cigarette, its just as dirty as that monsanto weed will be. If anything we need to go back to old school breeding techniques that have a respect for the plant we all love to grow and smoke so much. If you support monsanto you may as well prepare to pay them royalties on all your favorite strains soon, cuz monsanto is gonna buy the genetics for them and charge you royalties for every plant you grow. I support science but there is more independent studies that gmo is bad than good.
ohh so many things wrong with that statement.
1 ) there IS no monsanto GMO dope program.
2 ) there is no evidence of any GMO dope program ANYWHERE
3 ) pesticide spraying has only a tangential relation to GMO's
4 ) those GMO plants which are related to pesticides are intended to REDUCE the use of pesticides, not increase it.
5 ) "pesticide resistance" is not any part of any GMO crop. that would be Herbicide resistance.
6 ) gene patents can only be filed for NEW gene combinations, not existing cultivars.
7 ) you ALREADY pay for the seeds for your favorite cultivars, or do you think seed banks and seed breeders are charitable organizations?
8 ) any gardener who chooses to grow ANY GMO (or non-gmo) crop can save those seeds and replant them at his leisure for non-commercial use.
9 ) there are NO reliable (read as COMPETENT and not full of nonsense) studies showing GMO's are "bad"
10 ) there are MANY relaible studies, and real world examples of GMO crops which are GOOD, not just for us, but for the planet.
