Just had a thought. Would it be possible through some sort of gene manipulation to put the the gene that makes THC in cannabis into another plant species? I was thinking of olives... imagine the oil you would get packed with the perception altering effects of the magical herb!

I say this because I read a while back about some country where blindness from lack of vitamin A was a problem. They genetically modified rice to produce the vitamin.. the rice now has an orange colour and blindness is no longer a problem from lack of vit A.

OK ethics come into it but it would be interesting to think that someone is working on this right now.

Why stop there?.. humans who produce THC.. that thread about smoking your legs could become a reality!
