Cannabis is already highly domesticated and artificially selected for either thc or cbd content. And grow time, and adaption to growhouse conditions.

Imagine what will happen when its genome is deciphered. Various synthetic pathways turned up or down. Size and time manipulated. Grow it like Mint, which is closely related and invasive even without seeds.

I'd certainly consume GM grass; I consume fully synthetic other meds,
regularly. And semi-synth. And organic. Caffeine, alcohol, 'zac, nic',
aspirin. Without chemistry, life itself would be impossible.

I figure, in 5 years, we see it.
