seedbank legimity

[freewheelinfrank]

:jointsmile: I don't think 'intellectual property' excuses should apply to marijuana hybrids from greedhead seedbanks - plants cross-pollinate every day, in nature, and didn't need Man to help (in fact if he hadn't tampered so much, we would still have wonderful landrace original strains, and hermaphrodites might not be so common) - following that reasoning, I don't think seeds should be sold, anyway - seeds should be given away, free of charge (otherwise, we're nothing better than common drug-dealers) - I and my friends freely give away seeds, and scatter the rest out in the country, and I recommend everyone does - I am of the opinion that most seeds' variances center on catchy little titles and names, anyway, and don't differ that much, aside from indica/sativa traits - just my :twocents:

Does anyone respect the concept of intellectual property any more?

what you mean is that is somebody discovered the cross this means nobody else can make the same thing? I mean ok I have respect that that guy or who discovered this thing..but this doesnt mean that he is the only one allowed to do this right?
Anyway not to enter in polemics or other things thank you all for thoughts and I just wanted to let you know that the guy is serious, ship fast and most important he is responding to emails

The work that resulted in C. ruderalis traits being combined into a resin-bearing plant is nothing to sniff at.

The strain 'lowryder' was not discovered, it was CREATED through a lot of hard work on someone's part and no, absolutely NOT, the knockoff seed 'breeders' (not breeders at all, lol... they are to breeders what a guy with a DVD burner is to a movie director) have no right to profit off that work.

If you want to make yourself a lifetime supply of lowryder F2s, and give them to your friends, be my guest, but don't go charging people for them.

Frank- I agree re: greedy seed banks for sure... that's why us grumpy growers are so happy to work with our OWN creations!!!
