Bayer has a business partnership with GW
Pharmaceuticals, a UK-based company that
grows marijuana, extracts compounds from it,
and then turns the compounds into
pharmaceutical medicines.
Bayer is the licensed distributor for GW’s
Sativex®, an expensive medical cannabis
extract spray that patients say is less effective
than growing and using their own buds.
Like Monsanto and Scotts Miracle-Gro,
Bayer is a pathologically harmful corporation.
In 1898, Bayer trademarked the opiate
diacetylmorphine, giving it the name heroin.
The company falsely claimed that heroin was
great for children as a harmless curative for
coughs and digestive disorders.
When Monsanto is called out for creating
harm to humans and the environment, the
corporation responds with denials and
propagandistic public relations campaigns,
and attempts to intimidate its critics.
Michael Straumietis, founder and owner of
hydroponics nutrients company Advanced
Nutrients, has constantly warned the
marijuana community about Monsanto, Scotts
Miracle-Gro, GMO marijuana, and corporate
takeover of the marijuana industry.
“Monsanto and Bayer have an agreement to
share
information
about
genetically
modifying crops including cannabis,”
Straumietis notes. “Bayer is partnered with
GW Pharmaceuticals, which grows its own
proprietary marijuana genetics.
You can bet Monsanto and Bayer are
interested in creating GMO marijuana.”
Several years ago, Straumietis reports,
billionaire investor George Soros, who owns
500,000 shares of Monsanto stock, worked
behind the scenes via a “public interest” front
group to legalise cannabis research in
Uruguay.
Straumietis
says
South
American
governmental insiders report that Monsanto is
working there on genetically-modified
cannabis, along with pharmaceuticalising
THC, other cannabinoids, and terpenoids.
The biggest problem with Monsanto, Bayer,
and Scotts Miracle-Gro linking up globally is
that their goals are to control the world’s seed
supply, food supply, agricultural chemicals,
fertilizers, and medicines.
“These corporations have reduced the variety
and availability of native seeds,” he says.
“They genetically modify crops so farmers
have to buy new seeds every year, and use
corporate chemicals like RoundUp to grow
them. They’d do the same thing with GMO
marijuana.”
The corporate interests and immense political
power of Bayer, Monsanto, and Scotts
Miracle-Gro, enforced by the World Trade
Organization and international patent law,
could result in corporate ownership of
marijuana seed stock, prohibition of cannabis
growers producing their own strains, GMO
marijuana, and decrease in the number of
cannabis strains available.
“There used to be hundreds of commercial
varieties of apples,” Straumietis says. “Today
there are less than two dozen.
The United Nations warns that the diversity of
cultivated crops declined by 75% during the
