What's to stop someone from renaming a known strain?

There are things you can do to protect your IP(intellectual property) and to have this guy spout ad nausea freely there is no recourse is befuddling and sickening at the same time.
Proving harm in a court of law and then forcing someone to stop doing that action is a law that stands on its own and we use all those merits of trademark, or patent or even common popularity as proof you have been injured. Court rules in your favor, collect $200.

Theese kids will throw a name on anything! That doesn't mean shit to me.I just want to know mainly if it's a (head buzz) sativa or a(paralyzed) indica effect.Either is good for me, but it is not for everyone

Personally I've never put any merit in any of the names. I've watched way to many dudes literally make up a name for a bag of weed so they could sell it to someone specific because they knew that person liked "that kind of weed". Small scale and large!

I've grown a few strains from Omuerta, and Luke does put in the work. The last run of Thousand Oaks that I did were very uniform. Even the last pack of testers that I ran were real nice, but some folks had problems, and he didn't release it. Wish I would have kept clones, because it was a very good strain for washing. It was one of my better producers of Bubble Hash. IMO Omuerta is a breeder flying under the radar that has some real fire genetics.

I've been looking at Thousand Oaks and it's in my short list . Is it really as foul smelling as Luke describes ?

Years ago, someone on YouTube went out to several dispensaries and bought different brands of "Blue Dream". He then did a review of each one. At the end, he concluded that they were all significantly different. He said that none of them smelled alike or tasted alike when smoked. It got me to thinking about the legitimacy of the strains that are out there. How does anyone really know if they are getting the strain they think they are getting?

Marketing, greed and money has diluted this plant so much, unless you hold plants from the 70s and beyond, its hard to say what is what anymore..

I got a strain called Roadkill OG, taste nor smells nothing like the old skunk, nor does it have an OG persona to it, but its a damn nice strain and whatever it is, I like it lol :)

I guess it all depends in which country you reside in. Here's our take on the question. But it's related to legal Cannabis. Now as for my own opinion, I'm a big believer in IP rights and the basic civility of not ripping a name from somebody who's already thought it through. Legal or not. This link is for public digestion, but I'll assume there are legal obligations that aren't totally covered by this site.

So I assume you've never copied a cassette tape, or a cd then either?

Sure did. But I didn't make any money off of other artists stuff by selling it. I make personal backups of all my CD's and DVD's. Also copied multiple tapes in the 80's because there were issues with shitty cassette players eating them for breakfast, lunch, and supper. Sometimes midnight snacks even.

Any other questions?

Technically speaking you were stealing from the artist with every copy you made.

Yeah, I know. But isn't the whole point of the thread is making money off of other people's work and the laws (or lack thereof), pertaining to that? Or is it just about some guy throwing a name on anything they create? If I were a seed chucker selling to people, I'd still brand my own shit the way I feel it reflects my own work. Not somebody else's. I'd personally feel guilty for dissing a fellow grower/seed chucker like that. But I'm not in that game.

How's that OK, but coping games isn't.

Illegal property can never be intellectual property. Little boys like you just can't understand.

Name your strains anything you want. Good luck getting any legal protection.

You are so ignorant it defies logic.

Please don't breed.

I agree little boys should not be breeding but its weird to combine those two topics to make a point.

Two things about that:

Every brand will have a different end result of the same cultivar; the clones I get from my dad turn out slightly different than his, generally speaking I get better yield and he gets better aroma.

To build on the question, what's to stop someone from just slapping another name on someone else's hard work. . ...nothing. It happens quite a bit actually.

Think of it like this.first name strain name last name breeder name.many can have same names doesnt mean its same family
