Cross-breeding Marijuana with another Plant, like a Fruit

Its just a genetically modified organism. Its possible, but not necessarily with a strawberry plant. I believe it would just need to be another plant, or organism, with a homologous gene with regard to the THC/CBN producing gene thecannabis plant. There's a lot of other specifics and complications with the whole process but it could probably be researched to produce something pretty CrAzy, maybe not something you could smoke with relaxation but the cannabis plant has many useful properties that could be utilized.

Well... isn't that technically what the scientists are trying to do in order to keep marijuana illegal, but have certain THC medicines? I'm sure that once they figure out how to make their own product and replicate it, pills and 'medical strawberries' or brownies will be offered behind the counter.. as long as it's affiliated with big pharma...

I dunno, I am also ignorant.

Um...the Gov is already doing this and has been busy for quite awhile-

2 things to remember ALWAYS:

1. Politicians are all liars
2. Your Government is not working in your best interests, regardless of what they say

to wit:

U.S. Patent # 6630507 On October 7, 2003, a U.S. patent #6630507 entitled "Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants" was awarded to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, based on research done at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). This patent claims that cannabinoids are "useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."[SUP][42][/SUP][SUP][43]

On November 17, 2011, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR part 404.7(a)(1)(i), the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, published in the Federal Register, that it is contemplating the grant of an exclusive patent license to practice the invention embodied in U.S. Patent 6,630,507, entitled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” and PCT Application Serial No. PCT/US99/08769 and foreign equivalents thereof, entitled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” [HHS Ref. No. E-287-1997/2] to KannaLife Sciences Inc., which has offices in New York, U.S. This patent and its foreign counterparts have been assigned to the Government of the United States of America. The prospective exclusive license territory may be worldwide, and the field of use may be limited to: The development and sale of cannabinoid(s) and cannabidiol(s) based therapeutics as antioxidants and neuroprotectants for use and delivery in humans, for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, as claimed in the Licensed Patent Rights.[SUP][44]

Humulus Genus. i.e.Family of Hops or Cannabicaea can be grafted to each other. So you can have a hop root with a cannabis top or a cannabis root with a hop top. There is little point in either as you will either end up with a hop plant with no thc or what is obviously a cannabis plant with hop roots.
Also, the idea that cannabis is an annual that will only survive one year is rubbish. Most 'annual' plants will survive for several years if provided the right conditions and prevented from setting seed.
We only think of them as annual as it's conveniant for our thinking processes due to climate. A factor that becomes irrelevant if growing indoors.

IDK man but I want some of the genetics that you were smoking when you came up with this one. HE HE........and I thought I had good weed .Sheesh

i guess if i could cross cannabis with another plant it would be something from the pea family as a lot of pea fam members fix their own N. It could come in real handy. especially for poor quality soils.

lol, did you ever see that episode of The Simpsons, where Homer cross bred tomatoes and tobacco. He called them tomacco's, looked like a tomato and tasted like crap and everybody got addicted to them lol. But as far as trying to crossbreed marijuana plants with entirely different species of plants, It would be extremely difficult and probably would not work. Usually with breeding you need to start off with two similar plant species. For example, there is a low potency, small species of a marijuana plant that is called ruderlis. Its in the same family as a marijuana plant, but It being so small and unable to get high from it makes it not commonly grown. What people did was crossed the ruderlis plant with a more potent marijuana species, indica and sativa. With a little experimenting the auto flower was created. Through selective breeding, breeders have been able to perfect the auto flowers with very high levels of THC, and flowering does not depend on lighting. Instead of spending your time trying to cross something that potentially will not work, maybe you should look into marijuana breeding itself. You can open up gene pools in the offspring, and be able to see traits and characteristics that might not have been for thousands of years, if you have big enough sample sizes. People are constantly tampering with new strains, trying to make the best new plant, there's thousands of variations of marijuana plants, and there's thousands more to discovered.

I swear common sense just escapes some people. Can you breed a cat and a horse together? No. What makes you think two different species of plants can? lol

However, I beleive two different plants that are of the same genus of species can be bred together. Much like certain hybrid animals, ie: donkeys, ligers, savannahs etc.

Actually its quite amazing how different animals can be cross bred, Are you familiar with a creature called a cabbit? It is a cross between a common house cat and a rabbit. I'm not pulling your chain either, it is a true phenomenon, Ive seen people try to sell them before for 200 bucks a cabbit. Their image can vary a bit, but most of them are cat like with bigger ears and no tail.
There is also another thing called a "beefallo" and it is a cross between a cow and a buffalo, the only problem is that the gene only works for one generation of breeding, like you breed a cow and a buffalo once, to create that beefallo, if you try to breed that beefallo, its offspring will either come out cow or buffalo for some odd reason.
In the entire world, I bet there's still some plant species that would be compatible and suited to breed with marijuana plants, we just have not found it yet.

A cabbit?? I think someone is spending to much time with the jackalopes,lol

Yeah I didn't think so....

I think you mean a mule not a donkey but watch this

Hops grafting and gene splicing will only lead to more problems and disease susceptibility. What we need is a cannabis tree. My front yard would be full of em back yard too.

A tree would yield well eventually I'm sure. Pretty inconspicuous too. How about the weed that dosent show up in a drug test? That'd b worth something.

Everybody knows Wikipedia has A LOT of false information. The people I seen selling them called them "cabbits" that's what one breeder named them, as far as the scientific term I have no idea. I have seen them in the flesh.

how about GMO's? I would love to see tomatoes crossed with cannabis. Spaghetti and meatballs could rise to a whole nother level..lol

whats a GMO danny??

stonerman...I think the idea of a cabbit is whacked but I will defend to the death your right to believe it. Your right about wiki as well. It's only as good as the last person to contribute. Rock On budski and keep the dream alive.

so.. you're sayin'... there's a chance I could bone a monkey and create a mo f*ckin HUMANZEEEE?!!!!!!!!

Plant Tissue Culture by David S. Ingram and Dennis Neal Butcher 1976: this book has a pretty vague section on how to create hybrid plants..

beer hops can be crossed
