I was having a wee think this morning about mutation and the nature of mutations in plants and animals.

Theoretically it is possible that in the first generation of Skunk, after the hybridisation of the 2 parent varieties of plant used to make the plant, a random mutation occured. This could have been a mutation which meant the smoking/grazing of the plant could now cause permanent psychological damage to the person or animal taking it into their bodies. From one generation of plants that could not possibily bring on Psychosis in a user to the next generation of plant, as complex as the chemistry of Cannabis Psychosis is, being a brain melter.

In that case Yuca what you initially said on the subject could, theoretically,  be right.

But this would be a mutation like no other mutation ever seen in the history of the world. 

It would be like a baby human being born tomorrow who could shoot lasers out of its eyeballs.

In reality it could never actually happen. But in theory, it may well have happened.



... but then it would be a random mutation and couldn't be causally linked to the actual hybridisation.

Dope as a gateway to Tobacco smoking I think is a huge issue which is not spoken about seriously or spoken about enough.

Oh , also proven as very very good to relieve symptoms of glaucoma.

I love Tabasco, never tried smoking it, but I've slopped it on  many a thing with good results.

All your doing by growing under lights with feeds is speeding up the natural time for the plant to flower. There are no seeds in the bud because the males will be removed when the plants begin to get 12 hours of light per day instead of 18, this makes the plant think its time to go into flower and produce seed. The females will start to produce hairs on its ga-lacs (don't think its spelt like that) and the male produces small sacks in the same place. Of course if you use clones all the plants will be female. There may still be a couple of seeds  in the bud but these are very rare and won't grow.

Addiction isn't any greater with super weeds than it is with hash. It ain't smack after all. Weed is a better high which is why no fooker wants hash any more. If you think its too strong...put less in the skins.

I take massive amounts of morphine and am as happy as Larry all the live long day. Various prigs like to say how sad the situation is and just think of all I could have done instead...

Hand on heart, I wouldn't have done anything I don't do now.

The idea that for every waster there is an unbuilt cathedral or uncomposed symphony is just daft.

Maybe your relative cracks excellent jokes in the loony bin. Maybe that is his contribution to the world. Who knows?

I imagine he must be having a rotten time in the bin though and none of it can be easy on his family, including you. I hope he's getting some nice drugs - Why not?  As a fellow incurable I wish him all the best.

All lives have value and a life steeped in drugs still counts. I was delighted to be told that the author of Black Beauty was a heroin addict for decades. She was lucky enough to get the good stuff from the doctor and happily went about writing her books and living life.

I'm very sorry to hear that AC.

I hope you know none of my talk on this thread was an attempt to downplay the seriousness of any drug related mental illness.
