while you have some very cool ideas there, i'm afraid that none of that would really be feasible in reality. you can't just insert a few genes from one organism into another and get cannabis that grows salvia leaves. if only it were that simple.
what you could do, however, is something like splicing in a gene for resistance to herbicides, like Monsanto's round-up-ready corn or soybeans. this allows farmers to spray their fields with round-up, killing off only the weeds and other unwanted plants. or maybe a few genes that provide enhanced resistance to some sort of pest or mold.

It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln

i have not.
i believe monsanto is on the leading edge of genetically modified crops, which i truly believe are the only way to feed an increasingly overpopulated planet.
i think that monsanto itself, however, is one of the most evil companies on the planet. they may just kill off most of the human race in their quest to control the world's food supply.
