Quote: Kief said: What could the possible corporate interests be for weed? It is a WEED, one of the most hardy and easy-to-grow crops out there. There is literally no incentive to genetically engineer weed other than to boost its medicinal potential, in which case I am 100% for the idea. Count me on the pro side.
Are you kidding me?? Adding different genes to make it pesticide resistant just like they've done to soy and canola and corn, the list goes on.
Depends on what your definition of genetically altered is. Intentionally breeding for certain traits could technically be considered genetically altered. But what Monsanto does is insert certain genes into their dna/rna type of thing. Say they take a sequence out of of fish dna and insert it into the genetic structure of said plant, then patent it.
