New type of cannabis identified

I think i get what they were saying there btu they were using the new names they had made up.

 

Cannabis Sativa Sativa: the accepted Sativa variety.

 

Cannabis Indica: the accepted Indica variety.

 

Cannabis Sativa Rasta: their new strain.

 

If they have DNA evidence that it is different i can accept that but what is the difference? Is it made different by selctive breeding over thousands of years or is it realy completely different?

 

Maybe it's possible that they are gong to prove that our history with cannabis is longer than first thought.

i dunno pickle is it different ? or is it just skunk ..... where did it come from ? .... i smoked late 70's 80's 90's ..... bang skunk .... ..... i was in dam , had skunk , was fucked ....... rooted . go figure ?

 

i think it's just another way out kinda of a mix ..... i dunno

The thing that makes me hesitate on saying it is nothing new is they say they have genetic information to say it's different.

 

I can't imagine that even thousands of years of cultivation would make a change to genetics. It just depends on what they have found, if it is the same but displays more Indica traits than the Sativa then that could be put down to cross breeding and they are full of it but if there is new DNA then they have found something.

I thought we already had three species of cannabis. Sativa, Indica, and ruderalis. Not to mention the fact that hemp (what they call rope making cannabis) is not a sub species

 

Sounds to me like these scientists wouldn't know their elbows from their arseholes.

Most bioligist and pot studying wankers agree ruderalis isnt a true weed species, its been found in native western european cannabis, native afghani weed in ditches, and american ditchweed is another form of "ruderalis"... can happen to either wild indica or wild sativa populations... In any huge population of cannabis will be a few freaks that autoflower, when conditions only allow those freaks to mature enuf to bear seeds it becomes a inbred trait...

 

The fact these cunts think sativa grows in western europe shows they confused crapola sativa turned rudy as sativa and what they call rasta grows in sativa hotspots.

That could be true although the same arguments that challenge the classification of ruderalis as a distinct species can also be used to support the view that there is in reality only one species of cannabis with variations brought about by geography, climate, and breeding.

HMMMNNN not sure what to think of the science. Does reek of another government funded pointless study to keep someone employed at taxpayers expense.Either that or someone trying to think of an excuse to grow a legal stash.

[omagee]

Did they ever post the findings?
