Looking to Invent the Hempmatoe!

OK, we need some super hipster young college brainiacs looking for an adventure...imagine putting THC in Oranges so that you can get high drinking a glass of Orange Juice...it's been done. So, if it has been done with oranges, it only makes sense that it could be done with other plants, other fruits and vegetables...seems to me, that a THC organic salad would be just the way for our 20/30 somethings to start their evening, a great way for us Boomers to fend off our aches and pains. So, I would love to find some adventuresome people to do a bit of high tech DNA magic to create Tomatoes, Cucumbers and watermellon with THC...one of the reasons I am choosing these three specific fruits/vegetables, is they are a staple in juicing, a constant in almost every salad, and imagine how many seeds the first successful generation of seeds once the host plant has accepted the change into its genome, and passes the now inherited THC DNA down to each successive generation. What's the DEA and the FDA going to do when the THC found in Marijuana is now available in a HOST OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES we eat on a daily basis!

Biochem 101: How to design a Cannabis-equivalent citrus plant

Step One:
Biochemically isolate all the required enzymes for the production of THC.

Step Two:
Perform N-terminal sequencing on isolated enzymes, design degenerate PCR (polymerase chain reaction) primers and amplify the genes.

Step Three:
Clone genes into an agrobacterial vector by introducing the desired piece of DNA into a plasmid containing a transfer or T-DNA. The mixture is transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a gram negative bacterium.

Step Four:
Use the Agrobacterium tumefaciens to infect citrus plants after wounding. The transfer DNA will proceed to host cells by a mechanism similar to conjugation. The DNA is randomly integrated into the host genome and will be inherited.

A Medical Marijuana Legal Question For The Experts

OK...here is a question...

Marijuana is a Class One drug which by my simple understanding means it has NO REDEEMING VALUE, and more importantly, has no medical use/benefit whatsoever. The DEA, the enforcement arm of the FDA has waged a JIHAD against Marijuana (thus a defacto war against human beings that use/smoke it)for over 70 years now based on the FDA's ascertion that Marijuana has no Medical use.

Enter Nabilone a synthetic form of marijuana, significantly reduced pain and anxiety in fibromyalgia patients, according to a first-of-its-kind study published in the Journal of Pain. This statement got me to thinking...and researching. Nabilone, sold under the brand name Cesamet, is one of two oral marijuana-based compounds, known as cannabinoids, and was approved by the FDA back in 1985.

Synthetic form of marijuana...cannaboids...FDA approval...OK, my question. With this information, doesn't this mean that the FDA has through their licensing of Nabilone, proven their own statements and decisions aboutMarijuana as a Class One Drug are false? Further, do these facts thus mean that the DEA, DOJ and the FDA have lied to the Federal Courts, and that the courts are thus WRONG in denying defendents the right to RAISE A MEDICAL MARIJUANA DEFENSE?

To Beat Your Opponent Know Your Opponent-Defeating The DEA

This article supports a few things. First, pleased to announce that we have launched a new page on Medical Marijuana Society that kicks off a new project. Operation Out DEA...the concept of this operation is simple. The DEA cannot continue busting our Medical Marijuana dispensaries without our help, albeit unintentionally. DEA agents scope out and do undercover investigations of these Medical Marijuana facilities, including sending their OWN PEOPLE into the store. This means store owners need to have doors to buzz customers into the main area...inconvenient, but an extra layer of security.

My thinking...two doors. The first door brings you into a reception area (anyone can enter) where there is NOTHING TO SEE. There the customer must show PROPER ID, and sign a FULL DISCLOSURE FORM that says they are not working for Law Enforcement, or NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT, and are not undercover snitches. If they refuse to sign the paper, and your surveillance camera records that fact, you ask them to LEAVE the premises (make sure to tell them they are NOT ALLOWED BACK so that you can have them arrested if they try to return at a later time to do their surveillance...just call the cops, show them the video), they are NOT given access to the inner sanctum. If they sign paper and then bust you later, they used entrapment I would surmise.

Visit Operation Out the DEA web page.

Next, it is recommended that ALL Medical Marijuana facilities invest in outside surveillance cameras...in this fashion, you can A) Keep an eye out for suspicious behavior, B) notice perhaps that the DEA has you under surveillance. You could then have an activist team you call to immediately show up and surround said DEA agents vehicle asking for ID...also, have this team start taking photographs of the DEA...we will post these pictures on our Operation Out DEA page. I am talking peaceful CONFRONTATION HERE, talking about taking the DEA out of the shadows...no shadows, they loose their ability to conduct UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS.

Lastly, educate yourselves about your opposition, know how they operate. To help you with that, here is the link to download the 2002 DEA Operations Manual...it has not changed that much in the past seven years. DOWNLOAD HERE.
