Exactly. I want to be prepared!
Cheesy, I like your idea of GMO weed and I think it will happen. Personally, I have no interest in smoking any, at least not at this point in my life. Who knows though, I might need it as medicine at some point in my life.

There seems to be someone who has it figured out how to put cannabis into wheat...The Biotechnology of Cannabis sativa, 2nd edition, by Dr. Sam R. Zwenger

I think they are trying to replace them with genetically modified "like" buttons that are resistant to bugs.

Op has managed to find a big GMO shill who spouts half truth and lies.
With Jayson Lusk, professor of agricultural economics at Oklahoma State University, Miller wrote an op-ed for the New York Times in February 2014 entitled "We Need G.M.O. Wheat."[SUP][1][/SUP] Among the article's claims:
"Monsanto recently said that it had made significant progress in the development of herbicide-tolerant wheat. It will enable farmers to use more environmentally benign herbicides and could be ready for commercial use in the next few years. . . ."As a result, wheat farmers missed out on perhaps the most important benefit of genetic engineering: the development of crops that can survive droughts or grow with lower-quality water."[SUP][1][/SUP]But reports -- such as the environmental advocacy group Food and Water Watch's July 2013 report "Superweeds" -- have found that as weeds developed resistance to the herbicides GMO crops are bred to resist, "farmers applied more herbicides, and total herbicide use increased by 81.2 million pounds (26 percent) between 2001 and 2010."[SUP][2][/SUP] And reports have also found -- as did a September 2013 Nature article -- that "creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has so far delivered little in the way of improved drought resistance."[SUP][3][/SUP]
With Gregory Conko, Miller wrote an article for the European Science and Environment Forum website suggesting that concerns about the safety of GM food are only because of "trade protectionism" and "anti-science fearmongering." In his book, The Frankenfood myth: how protest and politics threaten the biotech revolution(co-authored with Conko), Miller explains criticism of biotech as follows:
"Demands were made for governmental protection against unseen, unlikely, and often largely imaginary risks. The products of the new biotechnology often were regarded as though they were mysterious and alien substances transported here from another galaxy, instead of the result of precise and well-understood scientific processes."[SUP][4][/SUP]In the same book, Miller refers to biotechnology as "the closest thing to a free lunch in the technological firmament."
Miller and Conko argue against the adoption of the precautionary principle (PP), which would insist on safety testing of GM foods before they are released, on the grounds that "this erects an almost insurmountable barrier against new products because nothing can be proved totally safe - at least, not to the standard demanded by anti-technology extremists."
Miller spreads his message through the Heartland Institute, a Chicago based corporate funded think tank.
The 2004 article "Science Debunks Precautionary Principle"[SUP][5][/SUP] quotes Miller as saying: "A large number of people in poor nations have food allergies," (milk, wheat, and nuts) "Biotechnology can remove the allergens ... so people in developing countries can enjoy some of these foods."

An undated TASSC newsletter (called "The Catalyst") contains an article stating that TASSC member-scientist Dr. Henry Miller, ("a visiting scholar from the Hoover Institution)," helped draft the 5 Guiding Principles of TASSC. Listed along with Miller as another TASSC member who helped draft the Guiding Principles is James E. Enstrom, a scientist whose work was cited in The U.S. Government's racketeering case against Big Tobacco as having assisted the tobacco industry in perpetrating fraud and deception upon the American public.

Guy was even a huckster and shill for Big Tobacco. Interesting that you have big problems with Serilini (who's story is much more involved than you represent), but you repeat this error, or lie filled gem?
Pay attention in particular to the lies about reduction of the use of pesiticides and herbicides due to GMOs.

Specifically, we recommend that a European TASSC be formulated to do the following:
The memo specifically cites Henry I. Miller as a "key supporter" who might be willing to assist in the execution of the project:- Preempt unilateral action against industry.
- Associate anti-industry "scientific"studies with broader questions about government research and regulations Link the tobacco issue with other more "politically correct" products.
- Have non-industry messengers provide reasons for legislators, business executives and media to view policies drawn from unreliable scientific studies with extreme caution.
For example, Dr. Henry I. Miller, Visiting Fellow and Visiting Scholar of the Institute of International Studies of the Hoover Institute of Stanford University, is one example of a key supporter with strong academic and international credentials who might assist us in this project.

GMO does not bother me in the least. I can't wait until we have GMO beef that has extra large ribs so the ribeye cut of beef is super large!
GMO pigs that have extra bacon.
GMO chickens with extra fingers.
GMO females with bigger tits and vagina wall muscles they can better manipulate.
And GMO dogs that have opposable thumbs.

Canndo, read about the "Serallini affair". You might decide that defending his "science" is not something you should hang your hat on:
