plants containing cannabinoids

[pete34]

maybe the plant knows we want a mutant so tries to do it eh eh

any smokable,common plant ad the thc gene for research purposes

its not as hard as you think, not as expensive as you think, e.g. you just blend it to get access to dna

google:

amateur scientist

dna amateur scientist

 

and maybe try other keywords

 

 

dna backyard science

dna research at home

 

the hard part is finding the thc gene but maybe thats been done or just do 10% of the dna for each experiment and see what works then narrow it down that way

 

 

 

or mutate mj

 

 

 

dont let people tell you something is too complicated

 

 

 

for years now you can buy fish that glow in the usa

Here is a cannabinoid containing plant,

Hmmm that sounds interesting, possibly harnessed via a tincture I'd believe

I don't like the idea of making a list of plants which contain

cannabinoids

as it seems likely that it would get drooled over by the wrong type of people.

You know who I mean.

is there anything to the urban myth of grafting hops onto a marijuana base to produce THC-containing hops? If true, this would be a good way to go.

Just did a little research and found this to be a myth.

"One of the most persistent myths in marijuana lore concerns grafting Cannabis to its closest relative. Humulus, the hops plant of beer-making fame. The myth is that a hops scion (shoot or top portion of the stem) grafted to a marijuana stock (lower stem and root) will contain the active ingredients of marijuana. The beauty of such a graft is that it would be difficult to identify as marijuana and, possible, the plant would not be covered under marijuana statutes. Unfortunately, the myth is false. It is possible to successfully graft Cannabis with Humulus, but the hops portion will not contain any cannabinoids.

In 1975, the research team of Crombie and Crombie grafted hops scions on Cannabis stocks from both hemp and marijuana (Thailand) plants 205. Cannabis scions were also grafted to hops stocks. In both cases, the Cannabis portion of the graft continued to produce its characteristic amounts of cannabinoids when compared to ungrafted controls, but the hops portions of the grafts contained no cannabinoids. This experiment was well-designed and carried out. Sophisticated methods were used for detecting THC, THCV, CBD, CBC, CBN, and CBG. Yet none of these were detected in the hops portions.

The grafting myth grew out of work by H.E. Warmke, which was carried out for the government during the early 1940's in an attempt to develop hemp strains that would not contain the "undesirable" drug 58. The testing procedure for the active ingredients was crude. Small animals, such as the water flea Daphnia, were immersed in water with various concentration of acetone extracts from hemp. The strength of the drug was estimated by the number of animals killed in a given period of time. As stated by Warmke, "The Daphnia assay is not specific for the marijuana drug ... once measures any and all toxic substances in hemp (or hop) leaves that are extracted with acetone, whether or not these have specific marijuana activity." Clearly it was other compounds, not cannabinoids, that were detected in these grafting experiments.

Unfortunately, this myth has caused some growers to waste a lot of time and effort in raising a worthless stash of hops leaves. It has also leg growers to some false conclusions about the plant. For instance, if the hops scion contains cannabinoids, the reasonable assumption is that the cannabinoids are being produced in the Cannabis part and translocated to the hops scion, or that the Cannabis root or stem is responsible for producing the cannabinoids precursors.

From this assumption, growers also get the idea that the resin is flowing in the plant. The myth has bolstered the ideas that cutting, splitting, or bending the stem will send the resin up the plant or prevent the resin from going down the plant. As explained in our discussion of resin glands in section 2, these ideas are erroneous. Only a small percentage of the cannabinoids are present in the internal tissues (laticiferous cells) of the plant. Almost all the cannabinoids are contained and manufactured in the resin glands, which cover the outer surfaces of the above-ground plant parts. Cannabinoids remain in the resin glands and are not translocated to other plant parts.

We have heard several claims that leaves from hops grafted on marijuana were psychoactive. Only one such case claimed to be first hand, and we never did see or smoke the material. We doubt these claims. Hops plants do have resin glands similar to those on marijuana, and many of the substances that make up the resin are common to both plants. But of several species and many varieties of hops tested with modern techniques for detecting cannabinoids, no cannabinoids have ever been detected 212.

The commercially valuable component of hops is lupulin, a mildly psychoactive substance used to make beer. To our knowledge, no other known psychoactive substances has been isolated from hops. But since these grafting claims persist, perhaps pot-heads should take a closer look at the hops plant.

Most growers who have tried grafting Cannabis and Humulus are unsuccessful. Compared to many plants, Cannabis does not take grafts easily. Most of the standard grafting techniques you've probably seen for grafting Cannabis simply don't work. For example, at the University of Mississippi, researchers failed to get one successful graft from the sixty that were attempted between Cannabis and Humulus. A method that works about 40 percent of the time is as follows. (Adapted from 205)

Start the hops plants one to two weeks before the marijuana plants. Plant the seeds within six inches of each other or start them in separate six-inch pots. The plants are ready to graft when the seedling are strong (about five and four weeks respectively) but their stem has not lost their soft texture. Make a diagonal incision about halfway through each stem at approximate the same levels (hops is a vine). Insert the cut portions into each other. Seal the graft with cellulose tape, wound string, or other standard grafting materials. In about two weeks, the graft will have taken. Then cut away the unwanted Cannabis top and the hops bottom to complete the graft. Good luck, but don't expect to get high from the hops leaves. {Smoking any plant's leaves will give a short, slight buzz.}"

Thelema i found a website in which guy claims to have done this yet i cannot load the pictures to see if the cross looks any different.

I am unsure as to whether this was a graft, however i have heard many times of this theory which usually leads me to believe that it is at the very least possible.

edit: read through the last post that essentially nullifies anything i was thinking

DS,

I had a look and could see a couple of pics..some have been removed too.

If they are grafts, the scion is weed and the rootstock is hops,

This would increase vigour as the root system is already established..

I dont think this guy used hops as the scion to produce "cannabinized" hops...

Still very interesting though

[Zen Peddler]

I believe I've researched this before and didn't find squat. Although, I do recall finding an interesting cannabis plant once that was quite novel called australian bastard cannabis that might still be worth a look see.

...... could prolly grow that sucker at a police station and nobody would know better.

 

Yes! i remember hearing about this from someone up there. Interesting story.

Id be curious whether there were any cannabanoids in Zornia species.

my memory sometimes faulters, but don't think zornia contains any cannabinols of any kind.

the reason why, there are many people who think zornia does contain cannabinols of any kind, originates from the 1st herbal smokes which in reality contained synthetic cannabis (but listed zornia on the label). all the other herbs listed were inactive ones, so people assumed zornia caused the cannabis like high.

Yeah thanks. It does on its own actually give a very mild feeling quite similar though. So it had me wondering.
