Possibility/probability of crossbreeding stinging nettles and canbabis

Post by GreenDabz »

First off I want state that im no expert on cannabis,
I'm learning as I go,

The idea of a hybrid nettle/ganja plant is intriguing to say the least.
Just think of the myriad of benefits which if possible could be stabilised in to a successful hybrid??
The mould resistance, disease/pest resistance
The vigour in which nettles grow and their ability to grow in even the harshest of conditions/ locations.
As many of you probably know the 2 plants are related- how closely is a separate topic /debate-
The trichomes on the stinging nettle deliver the active chemical to deter the animal or human in order for the plant complete it's life cycle,as is the same with cannabis.
After the successful Monsanto hybrid trials which led to the US Federal government scheduling the hybrid strain as a illegal substance,means it may possible to with the right know how and methods to achieve a hybrid/cross

If anyone has any ideas on the subject,possible methods??

Actually I wondered this in the past, mainly due to the fact they grow outdoor here but it was a quick stoned thought soon forgotten on a walk.

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS!
part of the stinging nettles active ingredient is similar to serotonin in how it reacts with the body's endocannabinoid system
