Why do cannabis produce t.h.c?

Some say cannabis was carnivorous long ago in like dino age, used its trichomes to catch insects for food. Plants with desirable resins would result in plants with more food/strength. Humans have furthered this evolutionary process by allowing those plants we desire to live and others we usually kill off. Cannabis has successfully controlled humanity for well over 2,700 years enchanting us into cultivating it, it most definitely will survive even after humanities extinction.

Not into Darwinism? Then god created weed to fuck you up.
Seriously i find that so interesting do you think you can link me some post that talk about it? I cant find any D:

uv is but a small role

so inside the trichomes
Geranyl pyrophosphate and a precursor to olivetolic acid react, a c12 (for pentyl) c10(for propyl)polyketide,catalysed by an enzyme to produce cannabigerolic acid,. The production of Thc (and propyl)thcv cbd cbdv and cbc cbcv are controlled by 3 different enzymes Thca synthase being the enzyme converting cbga to thc through an oxidative cyclization of the geranyl group on cbga(of course this is a bit simplified for y'all) geranyl diphosphate + olivetolate =cannabigerolate + diphosphate.. cannabigerolate + O(2) = Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinolate + H(2)O(2)

uvr8 is a photoreceptor activated by uv-b and in response will increase production of a precursor to olivetolic acid. an increase in resin content relies on much more than one portion of a precursor

Man i just smoked a fat bong couple of min ago after couple of months of being out of buds and that text totally blown my mind lol so many wierd words but you impress me very nice knownledge you got there ^^ All my respect! By the way what do you think about the carnivorous theory? (:

And since you seem to know alot about it could you tell me why i got some blue and purple trich growing on my buds???? i cant find anything about it on the web is it good or not? what does it mean? o_O

Plants don't have human emotions or animal instict, they have no desire to protect themselves or their seed or their offspring. Cannabis creates THC because that trait, gained by a random mutation (as every plant and animal feature essentially is), has helped (past tense) cannabis to survive over non-THC producing plants. I.e. evolution: http://www.openculture.com/2014/03/neil-degrasse-tyson-tells-fox-viewers-evolution-is-a-scientific-fact-on-cosmos.html

That couldn't be more wrong.... Plants react to their environment over several generations in several different ways, including "mutating" themselves for a specific need or purpose. Evolution is not random, it is a specific reaction to environmental stresses.

Though plants do not have emotions, they still suffer from stresses that they may experience in their natural or unnatural surroundings, and they will react to help protect themselves, just like Cactus reacted to the desert, by growing needles to help catch water, and protect it's inner
hydrated core from thirsty animals trying to eat it. The reaction isn't immediate, plants don't "cry", instead, they react by producing the resource or amenity that is needed to interact safely with it's surroundings over several generations.

I agree with you this time :hump:

it means you should clone it.
you should also sell the resulting hash for triple the price

yes im serious....if you actually do

pink purple blue, are some colors I've seen. beautiful hash oil. just different colored terpenes and other compounds, sometimes in the stalk sometimes the gland or even from stems and what not, depending on source it's a different thing coloring it. doesn't really mean much I've had it a few times. mohican? recently had some really good pics

as to carnivorous.. that's a little beyond me, chemistry is really my thing.. but I don't see it lol

Wow thats super awesome!!!! :bigjoint:But thats all gonna go in my head stash muahaha :fire: I'm not a seller only a guy that want to make is passion and dream becoming true ^^ If i can get for around 14/16oz i may sell only 2oz so i can buy couple of upgrade for my ghetto room and for some food and stuff to have fun with my friends (:

Ohhh D: Its ok :wink: You seem to know your stuff for sure lol keep doing what your doing :D I hope that one day i will have the same knowledge that you have :cool:

"Factors in the environment are thought to influence the rate of mutation but are not generally thought to influence the direction of mutation."

http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/IIIC1aRandom.shtml - Evolution 101...

Mutations are random, there's no pre-programmed design. At no point is a mutation 'specific' as a reaction as you imply. The random mutation comes first, then the advantage it gives in a specific environment determines the rate it will occur in the population.

Also, plants do not 'stress' in the sense of emotional stress, that's just the typical behavior of humans to assign human emotions they are familiar with to plants. There's always chemical reaction/cause not feelings or desires which plants do not have - they are mere chemo-electric factories that operate according to the mutations its ancestors randomly got and proved to be useful in their environment to survive. It has no will, only function.

The proper question would be to ask why the production of THC proved to be useful for cannabis to survive, the reason it started creating it is the one I gave, and is the same for bees creating honey, cows creating milk, and humans having nails on their fingers.

you smoke too much wtf do you think emotions are? dargh "chemical reaction/cause"

Why do I even bother at this runt of a forum... Plants do not stress like humans do, they don't think, they don't have desires, and they - seemingly like you - have no brain.

IGNORANCE
Ignorance is a state of being uninformed. The word ignorant is an adjective describing a person in the state of being unaware and is often used as an insult to describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts. src: Wikipedia :lol:
Have fun making shit up and ignoring the facts.

I personally think that plants, has animals, insects can all feel some kind of complex emotion in their own way. Scientis dont even yet know how does our brain really work they know alot of things about it but not the entire thing or cant prove their theory fully like why we dreams, what cause them or why did it appear in our evolution? psychic power ect so maybe emotion are really more complex than we actually think and that plant can feel them which im sure of it. Im not saying that they feel or live them just like we do, but in a certain and different way they probably can! I say probably because well i cant really proove it or be sure of it but i really think they are
