The San Francisco Bay Guardian is reporting on a
Florida biochemist who's developed THC-bearing oranges. Since
oranges are not illegal (yet), you could theoretically get high
from your morning glass of Sunny Delight. Unfortunately the Bad
Guys have come down on this guy and stopped him from distributing
his orange seeds to dopeheads until they have time to make it
illegal.
I think this story is GREAT. First off, the guy
developed the oranges out of VENGEANCE against the cops, who had
confiscated his minivan because his kid had been picked up with a
crappy pipe and a couple of seeds and stems. VENGEANCE is an
excellent motivating factor and I applaud the scientist for his
long-held grudge.
Second, I think every biochemist in the country
should stop the boring stuff they're doing and work on putting
bad
drugs into fruits and vegetables. There should be drugs
everywhere! If for nothing else, it makes the Feds look like
idiots chasing guys like this down.
It's the high-tech equivalent of taking their little
cop hats and throwing them around in a circle. "Look, there's
some THC over here! And some over here too! Ha ha ha! Look at em
run!" Anyways, I hope to see more of these interesting uses of
biotech in the future.
