Relax!
We say no to GM foods, but yes to GM drugs. It will be super if we can buy a packet of dried GM yeast and make some magic home brew.  Grin

Yeah, that's be freaking awesome! maybe THC beer even!! How awesome would that be, man?
GM food isn't always bad. I heard you could for example use it to fight the poverty in third world countries! I hate it when people have to die on this beautiful planet!

How do you get weed without the weed? By genetically engineering yeast to produce THC, of course.

Oh man that I live to see this day! Wow... am I dreaming? When will this be a thing? Could you grow that yeast at home? Can you use it to bake some cookies as well?

This is a good thing or bad thing? What are the uses of THC?

THC is the active component in cannabis.

That's actually fucking genius!!

They are going to be able to modify THC in plants or whatever else up to a ridiculous point. Most plant THC is around 20% if it's high. In 10 years it's going to be like 75% THC
