Look, you must have missed the exciting part ~ that was that the gene to be inserted in the MJ genome would be the one they plan on putting in Switch Grass.

The deal is that whenever the plant is heated to 180 degrees, the cellulose turns to alcohol.

That would make smoking unknown weed quite hazardous (hence the reference to a Richard Pryor moment).

Growers are currently able to keep their strains shielded from low-THC strains. What makes you think they couldn't do the same with the recombinant plants?

Maybe they can hit the jackpot and get a plant that produces substantial amounts of cyanide when burned.
