USDA greenlights genetically modified hemp variant devoid of THC or CBD

The USDA just gave the nod to a genetically modified hemp strain cooked up by researchers in Wisconsin, and boy, is it shaking things up like a leaf in the wind.

Meet “Badger G” – the newest hemp sensation hitting the fields. This bad boy doesn’t mess around with THC or CBD, but it’s packing some serious CBG heat. Move over, THC and CBD, there’s a new cannabinoid in town!

But hold your hemp horses, this isn’t just any old hemp. Nope, it’s been genetically tweaked to perfection by the University of Wisconsin’s Crop Innovation Center. These scientists pulled off some genetic wizardry to ensure Badger G stays squeaky clean in the eyes of the law. No THC or CBD? Check. Extra CBG? Double check. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of hemp plants!

And guess what? The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is giving it the green light. They’re saying, “Hey, this Badger G ain’t no pest, folks!” So, no need to worry about your garden being overrun by mutant hemp plants anytime soon.

In fact, APHIS is so chill about it, they’re letting Badger G roam free without any of that pesky GMO regulation. It’s like letting your house plant run wild without any supervision. Go on, Badger G, spread your CBG goodness far and wide!

But wait, there’s more! According to the University of Wisconsin’s application, Badger G is going to be a game-changer for hemp farmers across the land. Say goodbye to tossing out 25% of your crop because it’s too “high” in THC. Badger G is here to save the day and keep farmers in Uncle Sam’s good graces. It’s like having a hemp superhero swoop in and rescue your harvest from the jaws of regulatory doom.

And hey, it’s not just the USDA getting in on the hemp hype. Switzerland, that land of chocolate and precision watches, is taking notes too. They’re looking at this study like it’s the recipe for the perfect chocolate fondue.

But hold onto your hemp hats, because there’s even more hemp hijinks on the horizon. The USDA just dropped a bombshell report on hemp research needs, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. From breeding and genetics to biomanufacturing and transparency, they’ve got it all covered. It’s like a hemp-themed rollercoaster of scientific discovery!

But hey, let’s not forget about the real heroes of the hemp world – the farmers. USDA’s been sending out surveys faster than you can say “CBD-infused latte” to get the lowdown on what’s really going on in the fields. And while the hemp industry might be facing some regulatory hurdles, it’s still growing faster than a weed in springtime.

So, whether you’re a hemp farmer, a scientist, or just someone who enjoys a good hemp-infused snack, it looks like the future of hemp is brighter than ever. Just remember, folks, when life hands you hemp, make CBD lemonade!
