Clones of Hunter S. Thompson’s private marijuana strain are coming to Colorado weed shops "In June, Anita Thompson obtained the rights to Thompson’s likeness, ownership of the author’s Owl Farm home and control of the “Gonzo” logo, the Aspen Times reported. And the first official Gonzo merchandise under her stewardship? Gonzo-branded marijuana sold in Colorado, where it is legal to purchase retail cannabis from recreational dispensaries." Until the people that are doing the dna step up, I call bullshit. You'd think the Post would at least ask that question. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...o-colorado-weed-shops/?utm_term=.b9a4dadf70ab
I was reading up on copyright of seeds or buds and you cant copyright anything canabis but you can names at the state level. Alot of folks just raking in the cash off of names now a days.
Are we really to the point where we can take a seedless bud out of a bag and make a plant? Imagine the possibilities.
you can do it but you have to have a sterile lab. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_tissue_culture "Preparation of plant tissue for tissue culture is performed under aseptic conditions under HEPA filtered air provided by a laminar flow cabinet. Thereafter, the tissue is grown in sterile containers, such as petri dishes or flasks in a growth room with controlled temperature and light intensity."
Thanks for the link. Sounds like the plant needs to be reasonably alive for this to work: "Explants can be taken from many different parts of a plant, including portions of shoots, leaves, stems, flowers, roots, single undifferentiated cells and from many types of mature cells provided are they still contain living cytoplasm and nuclei and are able de-differentiate and resume cell division."
The example of 32,000 year old seed tissue is a fuck of a lot different than dried leaf or flower. At least that what I would think. It's too bad. I dig the good Dr. (RIP) and am a long time fan of his writing. Shame to see the BS about preserving his personal cut.
i seen this trending yesterday and thought to myself....wouldn't it more than likely be a shit strain? most of the old strains are not nearly as potent as new ones. but marketing is everything i guess, i'm sure it people will buy it up like it's not going to be around next week just to say they have it
ergot is grain mold. If anybody is interested, I have an LSA extraction recipe for Bindweed seeds that can twist a guy up pretty well. Of course it's also a darn good laxative if you do the extraction wrong. Don't ask how I know....
Pretty sure it does start with ergot. There is a recipe in HT about 78/79 and that was how it started iirc, making the ergot. I lived in the Islands then and ended up going the Hawaiian Wood Rose route. Same thing Res, goods laxative. The high was more like mushrooms or mescaline.
d-lysergic acid amide. Similar to LSD but less potent. Here's the Erowid. If you want the extraction hit me up in PM and we can go to email. That kind of stuff doesn't belong on GK boards. It can give you a three day case of the shits if you make a messy batch. https://erowid.org/chemicals/lsa/lsa.shtml This fall I was out collecting Bindweed pods, the shit grows wild out on the farm, and forgot my scissors. Bindweed is a native version of Morning Glory. It grows in vines that canopy small trees around open cropfields. Here's a pic I took while out collecting. Since I only have one working arm I used my teeth to 'nip' the stalk holding the seed pods to the vine while holding the pod in my good hand. Collected a few hundred pods this way and gleefully headed home with my new stash. OOPS! As I found out that evening, it seems the tiny amounts of latex from the vine I was getting on my lips is an even BETTER laxative. Which is the real reason I was collecting the pods in the first place. I want to combine the laxative side of the extract with cannabis for a natural laxative with the anti-cramping and antiemetic properties of cannabis.....plus is I get to keep the psychedelic stuff for a special event.
Ha ha ha! That's too much. What we need is a canna purge like the herbal detox so popular with the masses. It's a hella purge but you don't care because your tripping on cannabis enemas. I'll pm ya.
Sounds like something a new-ager would do at a Sedona spa. The BOYA ("Blow it Out Your Ass") Chakra Re-Alignment Institute. Porn stars prepping for a shoot get a discount.
