Genetic splicing has brought the world advanced crops that can grow more with less. It's also brought us crops that have resistance to certain things. Round-up resistant cotton is one. Farmers for years got to spray cotton crops with Roundup and kill weeds to death.

Ma Nature is laughing at you.

The cotton was spliced. It had genes from another plant that was immune to Roundup incorporated into the cotton. Ma Nature was not to be fooled. She has come up with Roundup proof pigweed. Pigweed will take over a cotton field in short order. Reminds me of Congress.

The only thing you can do with is treat it like someone from Congress. Pull it up and leave it to die.

These gene-enhanced or whatever nomenclature you wish to use crops have generated considerable ire across the world. Some countries actively block the crops.

When it comes to food and such splicing, some people call the crops Frankenfood. A significant number of the people who object to gene-spliced foods also belong to another a crowd. I hope this image will identify the second group of people for you.

No. I don't wonder. I happen to know because my thought processes are not chemically altered.

If you are among the "smoker, toker, midnight joker and pompitous of love" crowd and don't have a clue what I'm trying to explain of what groups I'm talking about, get someone else to explain it to you. I'm busy. I have to wash my hair.

You can see my hair needs washing.

But now comes news that will make the Weedies join the Wheaties.

Telling quote: Particular drug-producing genes could be isolated and concentrated in particular strains of the plant, or even inserted in other species.

Weeders now say "STOP MAKING ME, uh what? A tail! Way cool!"

 In other words, the THC producing genes in Marry Ju Wanna are now known. This means those genes can be spliced into other plants.  Like coca. Like poppies.

Double and triple shots are on the horizon. You can fry your brain with a variety of chemicals all from one plant.

Why stop there? The THC producing gene can also be hacked into wheat, soybeans, peas, peanuts, strawberries.

Get stoned with a bowl of corn flakes.

It's gonna happen.

When it does, the Frankenfood haters will find their ranks sharply dwindled. Or maybe not. I am certainly not about to accuse anyone of being rational, certainly not those who feel the need to chemically alter their perceptions of reality.

Yassee, prohibiting a cat won't keep someone from trying, to very badly mix a few metaphors. Cross bred plants from a lab are coming. We can't stop 'em either.
