    the problem is not only the (likely) potential for GMO-related invasion of the industry, it’s the patent for its development, granted to HHS in 2003 (#6,630,507), which expires next April, 2019. As anyone knows, once a patent is granted, the patent-holder can outlaw or undermine any prospective patent using the same plant, from further development–as an infringement against the original patent and its protected processes.

    Eventually, likely starting in December, 2018, you’ll start to see corporate takeover of the plant’s functions and developments, and (once again) it will be illegal to “grow your own.”

    Dontcha just love America?

    …unless, of course, the original patent gets extended…

    you can patent Mother Nature, yes you can.
