Would it be ethical to genetically modify plants so that money grows on trees ?

If you could plant the right type of trees it might be just as good or even better as money growing on them. Trees that have healing qualities in their leaves, fruit, roots, etc.

@cherokeepatti There's a good point! 👍
@cherokeepatti Cannabis has great healing qualities

@NativePortlander1970 they are over-saturating the market here with it now. I would love to be able to grow hemp to collect the seeds for my birds and the wild birds, and to roast for a little crunchy snack.
@cherokeepatti They always do after legalizing, being a serious medical activist and advocate, I wish they never legalized rec, every state that has has thrown patients under the bus. An uncle has a theory that when they removed hemp from commercial seed in the 80's that wild birds don't seem to chirp and sing as enthusiastically

@NativePortlander1970 Oklahoma has issued more medical marijuana grow licenses that all of the other states combined has. That is a big issue here. Many of them are to foreigners who will import their own workers with work permits and hold their passports so they can’t leave, and some even withhold their wages and tell them they can’t step foot off of the property. I believe some of these are selling on the black market. There was a huge grow center outside of Kingfisher Oklahoma where a quadruple homicide took place. No telling how many other crimes are being committed by the Chinese here related to these grow centers.
@cherokeepatti No other state has allowed foreign backed growers and processors for that reason alone, and I believe it's also against your own state's Cannabis charter, whoever is issuing those licenses should be investigated for taking bribes.

@NativePortlander1970 The state has launched an investigation and looking into banning this. Yes I agree whoever has done this needs to be dealt with. It’s against our best interests.
@cherokeepatti They need to focus solely on the agency's licensing department, do a full financials with everyone in it, whoever has sudden money is the guilty one.

@NativePortlander1970 there’s an investigation going on. I don’t know how long that will take.
@cherokeepatti It should only take less than a day, find out who has sudden money, then look at all their issued licenses, three hours max. But as you know, most state investigators have the brains of a gnat.

@NativePortlander1970 Well if there’s a higher up involved in this it’s going to take even more time… such as being out of office.
@cherokeepatti Always the case, wasting taxpayer money every chance they get
