As the consumption of cannabis returns to its historical state of being legal, in Uruguay and across the world, a previously unseen problem shows its head: namely that of a genetically modified cannabis. In an article on exposingthetruth.co, Michael Thomas explains why Monsanto might be interested in developing GM weed.
Thus the legalization sounds good, and most of us agree that criminalization is essentially unacceptable, but does its legalization open the door for Monsanto Cannabis? The answer is: maybe. It depends on how cannabis is defined in the law; what standards open sale (as opposed to between free individuals) have to meet. Regulation may want to take a form similar to how the Germans have historically regulated their beer: by defining an exclusive set of ingredients. The way to stop the creation and growth of “Monsanto weed” is to strictly define what “weed” is.
