    Now do a real life Tomacco!

    source
    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      fun fact, nicotine is produced in the roots. a dude in lake oswego oregon made tomacco in 2003. you graft a tomato plant onto some tobacco roots. you can also use tomato roots with tobacco grafted on to get tobacco without nicotine.

      granted, I read about this over a decade ago so some details may be fuzzy

    …the coca plant could already do that…?

      Tobacco is a hardier plant that can be grown in more places than coca AFAIK.

      Now you can support your community with locally grown and cultivated cocaine, instead of relying on imports. Lmao

        I bet traffickers are gonna be real busy smuggling legal (pre-smuggled) items because of these tarrifs.

        And tobacco is Not AS suspicious as coca

    • Xatolos@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Tobacco is easier to grow in more places. This makes it easier to grow and produce medical grade cocaine.

      I invite you to try to grow coca plants in your backyard. You will not succeed, for several reasons…

    You can modify tobacco plants to produce a wide variety of pharmaceuticals. It’s a very versatile plant. Last I knew, the University of Kentucky had a large field of various strains of experimental tobacco plants on their research farm.

      But maybe this’ll grow in more regions, breaking up the bloody monopoly, making coke more ethical

    I wonder if you’d get the numbing effect of cocaine when smoking the leaves like tobacco

    source
    • Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No, smoking cocaine (aka cocaine hydrochloride) does not do much unless you first chemically “free the base” (aka crack cocaine).

      source
      • chaogomu@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Fun fact, “free base” is the origin of the of the term “based”.

        Originally it was not a good thing.

        Language changes, so now based is fucking rad. And rad is not a term used by anyone.

        Can confirm. I was once given a cocaine cigarette without my knowledge and it did have enough of a stimulant effect for me to notice something was off (though I was expecting a spliff, so it was easier to realize that it was having the opposite effect), but I absolutely did not get any kind of high.

        It was mostly just increased heart rate and anxiety with a little nausea, like being overcaffeinated.

        Depending on the dose it could still do some stuff. Just like sniffing freebase cocaine can also give a tiny bit of effect.

        Not that one should be doing that.

    The gene sequence is public knowledge, published in academic papers. You can buy everything including the custom sequence to do the CRISPR process online.

    Just saying.

    • stevedice@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You can also just buy coca seeds. The magic powder is still quite a few steps away from that.
