the drugs win the drug war
duckweed doubles every 30 hours engineer it to make THC
the patent 6815184 goes with how to genetically engineer duckweed; duckweed doubles mass every 30 hours thus if you have a few Ozs of duckwed engineered to produce THC that leaf quality duckweed will replenish fully thirty hours later; this same effect can be achieved with coca pathways as well as opiate pathways;
now people prefer bud to leaf, to make hashish simply use duckweed leaf, oil n alcohol together; any of hundreds of k grad students can do this plant engineering work; this might be particularly compelling to them if they have negative opinions of organized crime as this is an opportunity to reduce the revenue of organized crime around 2/3.
That patent can be used to create opiod peptide duckweed right now; I don't know if cannabinoid receptor active peptides are published; with peptides its muchly one codon gives an amino acid just create a list to sequence
I very much prefer the idea of engineering duckweed to make active THC; skip the heat
its like loaves n fishes at the fresh millenium, plus we get to nominate as Big J anyone that does the lab work
I've tried duckweed; duckweed is edible; tuned versions are also patented as a human food
my original idea was to genetically engineer longevity producing peptides with duckweed so that people could have an automatically replenishing source of longevity drugs n food absent regard to richness
