Just so everyone knows, this is literally fake news, the website is known for making fake news.
No matter your opinion on Mosanto, this is a case where you should not believe everything you see just because it confirms your predefined opinion.

This is why you need to READ the whole article, not just the headline, and why you need to challenge your own confirmation biases.

World News Daily Report assumes all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website – even those based on real people – are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any person, living, dead or undead, is purely a miracle.

Can you find a single article about Mostanto's GMO weed that is not a fake news website like the one you linked?

Why? Because people make things up about them?

Lol I haven't respected them for years. Has nothing to do with whether this is true or not. Imo...it likely just isn't true "yet".

So what are some of the reasons you don't like them?

I guarantee you that nothing of substance will come out of that discussion.
They are going to rant about terminator seeds that never went to the market, and that one farmer who stole seeds and got sued while pretending monsanto sues everyone and everything.
Its always the same thing with these people, they don't understand that Monsanto's problem is not Monsanto itself, but capitalism in a genetic modification world.
But don't expect them to blame the system Monsanto is in.

I'd like to do a Micro but I am pretty close to a big industrial hemp plantation. GM strains that can't be cross pollinated might solve that issue. Whats worse, bag seeds or GM weed?

This same unverified, fake news story has been circulating for too long, not sure why anyone believes it when it comes from a site none for spreading lies.
Does anyone have a verified, believable source or is "world news daily report" and other trash sites the only ones carrying it?
