Transferring cannabis epidermis genes to other plants...

Has anyone thought that the genetic code that forms trichomes in the epidermis could be transferred to other plants.

Viruses can be used to create genetically modified seeds, transferring trichome generating genes to the host plant. So we will no longer have to hide what we grow

I think what you want to do is modify the trichs of other plants to replicate the content of mj.

Other plants besides mj have trichs.

Give em some legs so I can smoke em when they walk by

Then it should be a piece of cake to modify the plants that already have trichomes so that they produce THC... This would be a revolution, I wish I worked in a genetic lab...

cambrian genomics will do it for you for $1000 but you need to modify the source code yourself. theres lots of open source free software to do that in linux. you need to download the dna of the plants you want to fk with and identify the genes that do your bidding (luckily teams of biologists have already done it for you) then cut and paste. email them the modified source code and they will print out the new dna for you to insert ito a sterilized seed or bust the nucleus of a cell from a compatible plant and suck out the old dna and bang your stuff in. grow.....multiply....profit

You don't get high from just eating it without decarboxylation (sp?).

Another potential issue is that people may not want to smoke their tomatoes...
