CANNABIS SUPERHEROES: WHEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ART BLENDS WITH MARIJUANA
If you haven’t been hiding in a cave for the last few months, you’ll have probably heard about artificial intelligence art and all the controversy surrounding it. By using sophisticated algorithms and deep learning techniques, this ‘AI Art’ is revolutionising the way we think about creativity and expression. With its unlimited potential, it allows us to explore new realms of visual art in ways we never thought possible before.

How to Tell if a Cannabis Seed is Viable
How to Tell if a Cannabis Seed is Viable
Hey everyone, in this video we show you two ways to see if your cannabis seeds are viable, one being the common finger rule method, and one being the rule of thumb that if the seed is white that it is immature and therefore unviable. This quick and easy tip is a must know for anyone who is thinking of breeding their own cannabis, those who simply want more information about cannabis, and anyone…

This Tumblr is an extension of our growing social media presence in this new era of celebration of cannabis and the end of the dark ages of stigmitization. This is just one more place (besides instagram @cannacomrade413) for us to share our continued thoughts and work which we have happily carried out for the last 2 decades sampling, exploring, cultivating, and preserving the genetic diversity of the plant for the future of the culture. Nothing will ever be sold here that is not the purpose of this page, only consultation, education, and discussion.

Breeder Steve is incredibly well known for, exactly as the name says, breeding. Steve has been growing his own since 1989. He shared incredible stories and shared insights into the backstory of how he got into breeding, living Library of Cannabis Genetics, Wine and Cannabis similarities and more.

“Most people have heard of open source software, maybe also of open source beer (Free beer for all!) or open source pharmaceutical research. The principle is the same: Someone developed the seeds — for cowpeas, corn, rye and more — and now offers the resource for everybody to share.
Just like software development has been co-opted by a few global companies like Microsoft and Apple, the international seed development and trade, too, is controlled by a few big giants like Bayer (Monsanto), Corteva (DuPont) and ChemChina (Syngenta). A 2012 Oxfam study found that four companies dominate more than 60 percent of the global trade with grains.
When we buy cereal or bread, few pay attention to the fact that most grains are protected or even patented. Most farmers don’t own the seeds they sow on their fields. “They are renting them,” Kloppenburg, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-founder of OSSI says with disgust. The problem with that? “A few global companies have the monopolies on global seed trade, and they breed cash crops like corn and soy, purely for money. They don’t care about biodiversity, world hunger or about the small farmer.” What sounds like a business problem impacts everybody, Kloppenburg insists. “These few gene giants on top of the food chain decide what ends up on our plates.”
In 2012, Kloppenburg and half a dozen like-minded agriculture experts founded OSSI as an alternative to the monopolies. OSSI’s aim is the “free flow and exchange of genetic resources, of plant breeding and variety development,” Kloppenburg says. With global warming, disease and changing climatic patterns, “we need novel plant varieties that are capable of responding to the changes. Farm to table is popular, but we really need to talk about seed to table.”
The movement faces an uphill battle, particularly in the US where most farmers plant seeds that are patented by the big corporations. Still, about 50 seed breeders have already signed on with OSSI in the US to offer nearly 500 seed varieties. And other open source seed organizations are making their own way in Europe, Argentina, India and more...
Of course, salad is no software, and the work of plant breeders has to be protected. Otherwise they might fare like plant breeder Jim Baggett in Oregon, who in 1966 started breeding broccoli with an extra-long stem so it could be harvested more easily. He shared his novel broccoli with researchers and other breeders — until Monsanto-offspring Seminis patented a broccoli with exactly that trait in 2011. Baggett could trace more than a third of the plant material to his work...
Seed breeders who commit to the OSSI pledge allow buyers to use what they have developed however they like. The pledge reads: “In return, you pledge not to restrict others’ use of these seeds or their derivatives by patents or other means, and to include this Pledge with any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives.
Examples of OSSI varieties include dwarf tomatoes, bred for people with little space by small farmers in North Carolina and Australia who worked together and exchanged information across continents. A new rye, called Baldachin, has been developed with the help of crowdfunding in Germany specifically for the sandy soil in East Germany and is for the first time available in bakeries this fall. Also potatoes, corn, wheat and nearly everything else you need to cook dinner...
Just like software, “we want to go viral,” Kotschi says. In North America, he notes, cannabis breeders are interested in the OSSI strategy. “Cannabis is going to be a multibillion dollar market,” he says. “The small breeders fear for their seeds. They are interested in using the open source license to protect themselves while making the seeds available to others.”” -via Reasons to Be Cheerful, 10/14/22
