Description

This experiment was designed to observe if Cannabis Sativa L., with the Co-dominant Alleles of CBD and THC (de Meijer et al., 2003)¹, had the capability to be bred, using a modified traditional breeding method(Controlled Indoor Landrace), I developed, along with Mendel’s Law of Inheritance (Mendel, G 1865)⁸, to create Pharmacologically valuable cultivar seeds with the equivalent Heterozygous distance of asexually produced seeds. 
This method was developed  in order shift the paradigm away from the genetic engineering of foods by creating cultivars more viable for sustainable agriculture than the failure prone synthetic chemical means of farming. This  new method of creating Homozygous cultivars with desired phytochemical contents and the way to escape the profit driven plant patent system that benefits the few at the cost of the Planet and Livings Creature within  the Ecosystems.
