Well its bound to happen soon, genetically modified cannabis, monsanto are probably working on removing the genes for THC prodution for commercial hemp crops. So what do you guys think of GM marijuana?? Imagine it, it really could make the cannabis of the future 25x more potent than the cannabis of the past. Valuable medicinal strains could be made that have very specific cannaboid ratios, and strains that produce that THCV shit that SA sativas have. They could make strains which grow no head leaf, and only require fan leaf removal to manicure. They could probably make high yielding, no stretch indicas with full on sativa style high's. White decorative cannabis with l…

CANNABIS LUNG CLEANER AND EXPECTORANT Cannabis is the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust and the phlegm associated with tobacco use. Marijuana smoke effectively dilates the airways of the lungs, the bronchi, opening them to allow more oxygen into the lungs. It is also the best natural dilator of the tiny airways of the lungs, the bronchial tubes - making cannabis the best overall bronchial dilator for 80% of the population (the remaining 20% sometimes show minor negative reactions). (See section on asthma - a disease that closes these passages in spasms - UCLA Tashkin studies, 1969-97; U.S. Costa Rican, 1980-82; Jamaican studies 1969-74, 76…

Hi all, came across this at uk420, thought you might be interested. This is the start post of a thread about a researcher... (gotta love that name, Gary Potter :: ) He's interested in some growers who would like to put their views forward in a questionnaire about how laws affect them, how much you use, what's your usage history... It's all in confidence, and he asked if I could pass on this info to some other growers in oz. So here I am. Anyhoo, like farmweb says, you don't have to if you don't feel comfortable, just send an email to the address listed and you'll recieve a copy of the questionnaire to fill out and send back... I think it's great that someone…

Researchers now say they help to extinguish traumatic memories. "In certain situations, being able to forget is very important for emotional survival," said George Kunos, a neurobiologist at the National Institutes of Health. http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread13601.shtml Pot Blocks Painful Memories, Study Says Dr. Lutz's study will only add to the argument in favour of decriminalization. But it is also a landmark in medical terms because it deals with one of the central survival mechanis…

Regarding mould, this is a FAQ like post taken from the forums of Marijuana.com, but I normally won't copy/paste, and just supply the link, but you had to be a member of the forums at marijuana.com to read, so the link will be useless for those who are not registered members with marijuana.com Funny... it's spelt "mold" here... thought it was supposed to be spelt "mould"?? anyway... hope this will be a useful for those who have a mouldy buds and working out either smoke or not the mouldy buds/weed, or even eat or not...
