THC producing plant that doesnt look like marijuana

Ok. Heres the idea. We would like to create a plant that produces large amounts of THC, but does not look, smell, or have physical properties of the cannabis plant. My thoughts on this: We need to start from a marijuana plant, because thats the only plant we know that produces THC in the amounts we want. This is just something we were wondering about and were not able to find info. on. Maybe start a sub forum or something that goes along with this kind of idea. thx for any info =)
A few breeders I know of are working on that strains that don't look a lot like cannabis. Fet hasn't put this(Dizzy) out to market yet but when he does looks like it could be fun to grow. The pics are Fet's not mine.

Ahh, I see, sort of like the cabbot concept! That's clever. I actually have a few young plants in my assortment right now that are, well... in my hysteria, I was tempted to think they might be a new species. They do not look like pot plants. I'll put them in a larger pot soon and we'll see what comes of them.

hope you have a degree in gene sequncing(splol) or/and chemical engineering + a lab to do it

Wimpier. And why would you camoflauge something, just to stick it under a grow light? Never mind, never mind...

The idea is to have it camoflauged from the authorities. Grow lights are legal and many people grow other types of plants indoors. It would be nice to be able to invite people over and not have them ask why my house reeks of marijuana or have johnny 5-O looking right at my plants and not have a clue.. hehehe
A dream ... maybe... time will tell

Relax, there are 100's of varieties of tomatoes and oranges as it is. Some natural, some man-made. A new marijuana orange won't jump into your shopping cart and then slip down your throat on their own when you aren't looking.
Actually it would, Monsanto is having serious problems with cross pollination..

There modified corn is taking over entire fields of organic corn.
Some cross pollination has spread hundreds of miles from the source...

You really think you can mess with the genitics of something and expect nature to not interact with it?

Personally I think if you are in the US or UK you cant even begin to mess with something like this before you would be shut down....

HELL NO! I will make a secret-underground lab! I will make this! you all will worship me, and I shall be stoned! anyway.....so I gots a question. doesn't thc need to be heated to a certain degree before it becomes active? I don't think an orange would burn that well. what about using a flower instead of an orange or whatever. something that produces something that can be smoked

dude u totally can. like i said a friend of mine (prof at UC riverside) won a Mccarthy fellows award for her work on spider silk.

She created a tomato plant that produced spider silk proteins (legally), so if u had the right lab u could totally make this legally, as a substitute for medicinal marijuana. U just have to control pollination (if u made it into a clone only or female plant then u would have no problems). The reason monsanto corn is spreading is that corn plants have both female and male parts so all their plants have the changed sperms.

Fuck smoking, I'd be making the best hash oil this side of the Pacific.

You're right about Fet's gear...I wish he'd release it though..people are losin patience!

It's very doable, but the investment needed to undertake such an operation is mind boggling. Finding, isolating, and extracting the genes that control THC production, then finding a suitable agro-bacteria to carry it into an equally suitable host plant would cost into the hundreds of millions. Only companies (such as monsanto) would be in a position to do such a thing, and they, of course, have no interest in a plant that would screw up the profit margins of their other products, or possibly infect a staple food product with an intoxicating substance.

If you need proof of it's reproductive capabilities just google "RoundUp Ready cross pollination" or a variation of those terms. People are afraid of it because Monsanto owns the patent on the very genetic makeup of their seeds, meaning that crops that have been cross pollinated and grown with "their genes" belong to the monsanto corporation.
Yeah back when I was still in college my farming economics class had a debate on them, I'm for genetic modding of plants but think we need to lay laws down so you can't copyright existing genes and such. (Thats like copyrighting the apple or orange imo)


You'd have to keep it very quiet in the US, the DEA would be kicking in your door so fast your head would spin. lol

FUCK HASH OIL, I love smoking, and I'm the one that's gonna do it, I get to pick the plant. your free to try it your way, but I will succeed before you!

idea! do ya's think I could make some superweed like this

whatever, I love smoking weed, what the fuck is hash oil s'posed to be anyway, why do I need it. and since it's hash OIL I'm assuming you can't roll it up

ok, didn't think of that. I don't even really care, I just said fuck hash oil cause the one guy said fuck smoking. but bud is always going to be my favorite to smoke, I just love it. the way you gotta break it up and your fingers get all sticky, the smell of it, the look of it, everything. and wouldn't you rather be walkin down the street and see some tulips or something and just pluck the petals off and pack em in your pipe(you'd probably have to dry em first, though, so that probably won't work) but it's easier than making hash oil, otherwise hash oil would be alot more popular

Personally I don't smoke oil much because of the chemicals involved, but it depends on who makes it too.....

ive made honey oil on a couple occaisions. Very simple process to extract resins from plant with butane. Of course you have to let the butane completely evaporate which may take a day or so.
If I could smoke hash oil all the time, I would take honey oil any day.
ITs so smooth and tastes like the weed you extracted from. And you can take massive hits and hold it in a couple seconds and not have to worry about coughing.
And people report to hallucinate off of it. Honey oil is acctually alot of fun.
