Hmmm ~ I thought I was pretty clear that we'd develop the best MJ in the world ~ not the least potent.

As far as total displacement is concerned, presumably as the plants interbreed among themselves, the recombinant genes will be passed on.

I thought your argument was that the recombinant strains of mj would be useless for getting a THC high from smoking, thus rendering the smoking of mj useless. If so, then a low THC strain should accomplish the same thing.

As far as total displacement is concerned, presumably as the plants interbreed among themselves, the recombinant genes will be passed on.

So why haven't ditch weed or low-THC hemp plants done the same? And what is to stop growers from selecting out seeds from recombinant plants, or breeding out such a trait?
