Company makes any plant produce THC and the tomatoes are especially yummy

"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."


Cutting the lawn could become a religious experience.

Sounds like those who profit from cannabis being illegal - big tobacco, big alcohol, CIA - will soon be bribing Congress to outlaw a gene.

And this could actually be a "good" thing.
Maybe now they will finally make them label genetically altered foodstuffs.

Oh no.  The fast food places will be on top of this one.

Kudos for the Big Kahuna Burger reference.

"Well, if you like burgers give 'em a try sometime. I can't usually get 'em myself because my girlfriend's a vegetarian which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. But I do love the taste of a good burger. Mm-mm-mm. You know what they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese in France?"
