Maybe you have not thought this through. Are you suggesting that GMO labels must appear on all strains of cannabis? What exactly does the acronym GMO mean?
We already have the "USDA Certified Organic" label, which certifies that the product is free of GMOs. There is a reason that both Oregon and Colorado voters voted "no" on a ballot initiative that would have required certain labels on food products that contained genetically modified organisms (GMOs). "Food activists are free to pursue ballot initiatives. They are free to harass food manufacturers into compliance with their many outrageous demands. But voters should know that this comes at a cost--to large and small food companies, farmers, and mostly it costs you, the consumer money." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/julie-gunlock/food-labeling-fatigue_b_6215052.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/julie-gunlock/food-labeling-fatigue_b_6215052.html ---In [email protected], <[email protected]> wrote : The really sad thing about this gene update to apples is that it will kill the export market for US apples. Many countries will not accept them. I believe Japan is already rejecting our non GMO apples as part of the trade wars in Free Trade. Now this wrinkle. Here's a fun article: http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/42/f/3269/GMO_apple_fact_sheet_rev2.pdf http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/42/f/3269/GMO_apple_fact_sheet_rev2.pdf BTW, our Governor here in Oregon resigned last week. I am sadden by this, but he also sold out the NO GMO crowd, of which I am a card carrying member of, when the Republicans held hostage a grand bargain to balance the budget. The lasw basically made it illegal for counties to ban GMO crops since a few had done so in the past year. What one issue has to do with other issue is beyond me! Anyway, I was done with him at that point. Also, he authored our state's Obamacare program which was an Epic Failure! Wishing our new Governor good luck!
