How Do You Create Feminized CANNABIS Seeds?

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Seeds. No Comments on How Do You Create Feminized CANNABIS Seeds?

It’s not often we look at plants and wonder if they are male or female.
In most cases, they are a bit of both when they have flowers.

These flowers usually contain a stamen – the male bit, and the pistil, the female bit.

The cannabis plant, however, is a bit different.

There are male plants and female plants.

Thanks to this wonder of nature, you can subsequently cross pollinate cannabis plants.

This means you can take the male of one strain and cross it with the female of another, to produce a third strain.

This crossing of different cannabis strains has lead to the creation of tens of thousands of new breeds and crosses, allowing breeders to promote the most desirable characteristics.

Male cannabis plants flower and only produce pollen.

Female cannabis plants produce buds, which, when fertilized with pollen from the male, produce seeds that will then grow either male or female plants.

However, If the buds on the female plant aren’t pollinated, they simply grow bigger and juicier, and it is that which is the Holy Grail of the cannabis producer.

Now, don’t ask us how this was discovered, but here’s a curious thing.

When buds first appear on a female cannabis plant and you spray them with colloidal silver, this tricks the buds into thinking they have been fertilized and seeds are produced.

But that’s not the end. Because there has been no male pollen involved in the process, all the seeds produced will only grow female cannabis plants.

They call these seeds feminized, we call it clever.

MAKING & EATING SPECIAL BROWNIES with RSO | Florida Medical Marijuana

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Baking. No Comments on MAKING & EATING SPECIAL BROWNIES with RSO | Florida Medical Marijuana

I thought it would be as simple as adding RSO to a recipe that would work without a hitch.

• I used a recipe from Chocolate Covered Katie!
– Link to the recipe I used: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2019/09/01/the-ultimate-unbaked-brownies-raw-vegan/
-She is not affiliated with me in any way and her recipes have nothing to do with cannabis.
-I simply want to give her credit since it is her recipe that I used.
-All *I* did was add lecithin and RSO to her recipe (I placed it into the frosting instead of the brownies).

Please enjoy this video chronicle about me trying to follow a gorgeous raw, vegan brownie recipe and screwing it up royally.

NPD Preparing for Marijuana Legalization

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Legalization. No Comments on NPD Preparing for Marijuana Legalization

With the legalization of marijuana in Illinois coming on January 1, it’s important to remember there are still laws around the use of the drug.

With the legalization of marijuana in Illinois coming on January 1, it’s important to remember there are still laws around the use of the drug.

For example, it will still be illegal to drive while under the influence of cannabis. Though there isn’t a comparable device to the Breathalyzer for testing blood alcohol levels, police will continue to use field sobriety tests for marijuana detection.

“What the officers have to rely on is basically their initial observation of the vehicle, their driving habits, what are they doing?” said Sergeant Derek Zook of the Naperville Police Department. “And then the observation that the officers make will determine if they do a field sobriety test.”

Drivers that fail that test can be arrested and taken to the police station for blood and urine samples.

Similar to the .08 BAC threshold for alcohol, the NPD has established concentrations for THC in those tests.

It’s also illegal to consume cannabis in public. Sergeant Zook said the best place to use cannabis is in your own home.

“It’s going to be handled the same way as open alcohol,” said Zook. “You just can’t walk around Downtown Naperville with a can of beer. It’ll be the same thing. You can’t walk around Downtown Naperville or anywhere within the city and smoke marijuana.”

Naperville has not opted in to the sale of cannabis within the city’s jurisdiction, but residents could purchase products from dispensaries in other municipalities.

There will be a non-binding referendum asking residents to weigh in with their stance on recreational cannabis sales on the March 17 primary ballot.

Naperville News 17’s Casey Krajewski reports.

Transplant Denied: How Medical Marijuana Policy Kills Patients

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Medical. No Comments on Transplant Denied: How Medical Marijuana Policy Kills Patients

Norman Smith seemed to be making progress in his liver cancer recovery at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, Calif. He had some of the best doctors in the world, he was on a transplant list and he had completed a successful clinical trial that had his doctors dubbing him a “miracle man.”

Then, his cancer returned and two months before he was would have received a transplant, he was de-listed for smoking marijuana prescribed by his oncologist at Cedars-Sinai. Now, if he doesn’t receive a transplant, he will die.

“It’s only my life that I’m fighting for,” says Smith. “What do I have to hide? I have nothing to hide.”

Smith’s situation represents one of the first battles being fought over the place of medical marijuana in medicine and it has left him in limbo.

Cedars-Sinai declined interview requests but referred Reason TV to Peggy Stewart, a clinical social worker with UCLA’s transplant program, which holds a similar position to Cedars-Sinai on medical marijuana.

“Marijuana is considered substance abuse,” says Stewart. “The legality of it is really not an issue.”

Stewart and Cedars-Sinai did say that transplant patients who consume marijuana put themselves at potential risk of infection from a mold found in cannabis called aspergillus.

But not everyone sees the mold as a potential threat.

“The truth is that Norman lives in Los Angeles and there are laboratories that he can take his medicine to and make sure that it doesn’t have contaminants,” says Stephanie Sherer of Americans for Safe Access , which works to break down political and legal barriers to medical cannabis.

Further, a 2009 study from the American Journal on Transplantation that looked at potential liver transplant candidates said that there wasn’t a significant difference between marijuana users from marijuana non-users.

Sherer points out that Smith isn’t alone, his problems are the reality for many patients caught in-between managing their pain and receiving a transplant.

“In our database at our office, we know of over two dozen patients that are going through this and unfortunately half of them have passed away because they did not receive these transplants,” says Smith.
