"It would be nice if someone has preserved the genetic integrity of base strains from all the continents, just in case we need to start over from scratch."

Guess what I just happen to do for the Dutch Seedbanks?

"You don't want to smoke hemp."

Not from this day and age, but back in the 1700s there are plenty of mentions of the smoking of hemp flowers, so I'm quite willing to bet back then there was some potency.

"Could you please define the terms "raping of the plant", and "commercially raped"? What does it mean to you?"

Going by the term stated in the comment I replied to of "capitalistic" the plant has been commercially exploited in all sorts of manners from cannabis tinctures to insufflated concoctions. Granted most had *SOME* effect but back then it was all done through a bunch of quack science, and since the quacks were involved, the commercial raping happened.

"I mean like, what do you want to drink Red White & Blue beer (crap), or fine, tasty beer from a micro brew? "

Neither, malt liquor is my preferred carbonated alcoholic beverage. Between the pisswater and the high-and-mighty, I think I'll stick with the humble 40oz.
