I don't think this forum is for posting about Marijuana legalization...

I've heard it said that THC synthesis in Cannibis is greater in strains that grow at higher elevations due to it's use as a natural UV protectorant. That some breeders have actually used this mechanism to cycle extra UV at certain growth stages. This may also have an interaction for the NCRI confirmed research that shows topical applications of THC oil on skin cancer actually shows an anti-cancer effect.

Hmmm how much money are we spending on cancer research when we compound it by hunting this beneficial resource and irridicating it. Let's hope Washington, Colorado,  and Oregon pass their initiatives to stop incarcerating their tax paying populace that choose to utilize this nature's bounty. It can be used for so many things from fuel to medicine, clothing, textiles and food. I hope my fellow DIYBIO affiliates support legislation within their locales to allow for the widespread access and use of this extremely valuable ally. - end rant

Incidentally, I have a student looking for genes responsible for UV sunscreen synthesis in cyanobacteria collected from extreme hypersaline and desert environments. His progress and experimental set up may be of interest.

Wow, that sounds great! 

Additionally they're Cyanobacteria, so they do photosynthesis (which will probably be THE (abundant) energy source of Mars)
