Do you know what "they" are doing with cannabis genetics with the intent to patent it

I think the only patents will be for things like complete resistance to specific pathogens and other practical things.
I read this morning over 90% of tomatoes in the shops lack a gene that makes them tasty... now that they know about it, it is only a matter of time before we get awesome tomatoes from the stores.

You have to wonder what those seeds will cost the producers and when it will become worth it for them to pay that price. I get the feeling we could be in for cardboard tomatoes for awhile.

We may not get them (the great tasting tomatoes of old). Folks that knew great tasting tomatoes and lament their demise are old and dying off; and younger people don't really have a perspective as they grew up with the durable tomato of today; developed to enable machine harvesting.
Alas, Charles Rick has died.
