Company makes any plant produce THC

Could this be true? I can only begin to imagine the possibilities!

DNA Scientists: THC Gene "Easily Transferred to Tomato, Cucumber, and Other Common Garden Plants"

Oakdale, CA: Scientists at Montsaint Genie Tech Inc. announced today that they have successfully transferred the gene segment that produces the psychotropic chemical THC in cannabis plants to many other common garden plants, including tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, and more.

"We probably can put the THC segment into almost any plant in existence," says lead scientist Rebeca Vale. "It's a very simple process. We are starting work on oak and maple trees now."

Asked if the resulting plants could be used in ways similar to cannabis, Vale replied, "Well, you can't make twine out of a tomato plant, but if someone were to dry it and smoke it, all of the medicinal and psychotropic effects of marijuana would be present. And what's more, we have learned that tomatoes, in particular, actually produce more THC than cannabis itself."

But is it legal? "Actually, yes," says Vale. "Our research qualifies as GMO 'intellectual property', as does the process itself. Since tomatoes and other plants are not illegal, a person would be well within the law to grow them and use them as they please."

Vale says that her company is working on a spray that will transfer the segment to many plants simply by spraying the leaves of seedlings.

"It's a very simple process," she says. "Anyone can do it. We plan to start selling the spray - 'Genie Mist' - in a matter of weeks. One bottle will sell for five dollars and be capable of treating 6,000 seedlings."

But how do the tomatoes taste? "Scrumptious," Vale says. "But, of course, they are best when roasted."

HA! the wonders of science prevails again!

srsly tho, this is bad-ass.

cantSEEme · 06-03-2009, 10:24 PM

doing a quick search, it seems like this might be a hoax. it seems too good to be true, so i looked (or tried to) it up, and found no company or link to any montsaint. also searched for "genie mist" and nothing. it did bring up several articles, but nothing substantial. i hope this is true.

although one thing strikes me, if thc is this easily transferable to other plants, whats it going to do if it hits human tissue? or if you do happen to consume it, will it cause the human body to produce thc? again, hoping this is not a hoax.

either way, this is really interesting, especially if true.

No way? This is kinda cool actually. Hope its true!

Nobody remembers the "THC gene modified into Oranges" thread, that was a hoax?

that's one hell of way to get kids to eat their veggies

This would ruin my hobby.

Canuck Wisdom · 06-04-2009, 08:28 AM

Obviously a fake... just spray it on the leaves?! C'mon...

Would be sweet though, it would make keeping marijuana illegal almost impossible, and possibly compromise intellectual property rights on that sort of thing as well.

There's more to marijuana than THC. There is also CBD, CBN, and a host of other chemicals which also play a role in shaping the stone. Cannabis is a complex plant. Besides, you all know what happened with Tomacco...

The spray on bit is what makes it REALLY ridiculous. Gene splicing is a fairly involved process...

I'm sorry, but the idea of smoking a cucumber just doesn't do it for me.

Yea..after further reading this does seem more like a hoax. Was caught up in 3 am euphoria
