Re: [DIYbio] Re: THC legislation is next week

As was mentioned, the legal status has large implications for
scientific study. We commonly discuss open source laws here, gene
patents, microcontrollers. I think laws about gene patenting or laws
about gene outlawing (which this pretty much is) is relevant here. If
the plant itself is really the problem, let's start a thread about
reproducing some of the THC tobacco hairy root culture work that's
been done. I'm pretty sure we're talking about a legitimate scientific
roadblock here.

Oil is much better at making textiles than hemp is (at least in terms
of strength I think, and probably mass in to clothes out), maybe if we
don't have a decent biofuel/bio-oil replacement soon we'll see an
upturn in hemp fiber utility, but I am not counting on that.

Maybe the seeds just contain omega-3s?
