That is sick! If it works out I want to try it. I know they graft cacti together to sell at stores but Idk if it will work with weed. definitely worth looking into. Could be the way of the future tho If you have success then Im doing it!! good luck!!!

Cacti???????
Spine clusters are short shoots and the spines are highly modified leaves with no auxin.....
And the hormones within each are very different, each have different environmental factors, and growth hormone RATIOS are different.
Cacti lacks in Auxins.. which promotes vegative growth... it high in cytokinins and gibberellins, in turn its water storage/ cooling ability is off the charts.

I dont think this could happen it like Cross breeding a horse and a cat.

Good luck.... you never know freaks of nature happen all the time !....

once will getting high near some cactus in my backyard a friend had a stoner moment and pondered if we could grow a bud seed inside a cactus pad, now that i think about it probably wouldn't work but who knows

I have heard of a similar technique. Not actual grafting, but using other plants as a water source. I had a guy tell me he used a hole saw to drill into the "y" of tree, and put a plant in there. Can't remember if he put dirt in the hole or not. It's plausible (if you could get the mj plant roots into the hollow part of the cactus that contains the water, without killing the cactus), that a plant could live from the water that the cactus takes in / has stored. However, I'm not sure what kind of nutrients a cactus would provide (probably not much), since they generally grow in poor soil. If you have cactus available, put a hole in one and plug it with a stick and see if the cactus lives. This seems like a good place to start.

how about this, it does work, you grow your bud and microscopic cactus needles form in the bud, you smoke it and die..... hmmmm
