Never seen this topic much debated about. How evolution gifted us perfection, and shuld we humans alter viruses to resimulate that effect ?

~ Millions years ago, some funky viruses inserted retrotransposons into the cannabis genome. Like any proper virus infection, viral fragments multiplied and spread across the genome, “scrambling” the plant’s DNA. This caused a single ancestral gene that produced cannabinoids to split into two distinct pathways: one that creates THC and one that creates CBD.( source popular science)

You are right this topic is not almost never discussed, in the specific is the first time I see myself too. Anyway why they want to increase compounds levels on plants injecting a virus on the plants.

Seems that sick minds can process the world only trough generating other sickness?

How do we fix it I don’t know

But I’m sincerely concerned about all the power that is given to this groups that do any sort of horribles (like vivisection of animals) and dangerous (like OGM) experiments

If is impossible to avoid them in total at least they should not considered legal anywhere in the world

I do not like that idea neither , but in how far will they succeed, it might create the contrary , but yes like this they could easy trademark it and hold monopoly .
But again can they really simulate what happened then ? :thinking: also if they succeed, will those flowers contain more trichomes then plant material ? Like fresh grown moonrocks :rofl:
