MARIJUANA MOTHER AUCTION
Marijuana sampling is a favorite new leisure activity for Canadians who require medical marijuana. Instead of purchasing the same old variety, medical marijuana customers enjoy trying the different strains of marijuana which are offered in small amounts as one gram or less. For a quite reasonable price the quality and effect of a strain of marijuana can be assessed. Consuming a new strain of marijuana can be a very interesting experience.
A medical marijuana dispensary owner who had purchased small amounts of marijuana from other dispensaries reported that despite labeling to the contrary many marijuana samples tasted very much the same and a similar effect. A case of distinction without difference according to my source.
I mentioned that some dispensaries had 60 varieties of marijuana. The dispensary owner replied that flavoring techniques such as depriving plants of water and then watering with a flavoring solution such as jello! I am not sure if this method of changing the flavor of marijuana is illegitimate or undesirable. There is definitely a need to change the flavor of some marijuana. Whether that is done with orange jello or in some other manner would be something I would like to know about. Feel free to post a comment. 
I toured a marijuana breeding facility. It is very interesting to see the growth of buds on closely related strains of marijuana. There are many different and interesting bud structures and incredible variations on similar aroma from plant to plant. The most successful plant varieties will be repeatedly cloned, replicated reliably over and over again. There can be a structural variation from the original seed grown mother plant. Usually other characteristics which the clones will have such as taste and quality of effect can be determined from the buds on the seed grown mother plant. Mother plants were beginning to be sampled several weeks before the buds are fully ripe, there is information to be gathered by studying the early bud.
A few years from now I would expect that breeders would hold auctions where growers would purchase stock.
Some very serious businessmen would pick up their sample packs and perhaps pictures and videos. Stoners would be required to consume and test the subjective qualities of the various strains which would be offered for sale. I am not talking about getting a few clones to grow or breed, the winners of the auction bids would enjoy sole possession of the mother marijuana plant and any clones.
Hundreds of years ago there were enormous prices paid for Dutch tulip bulbs. I can just imagine the kind of competition there would be for the most desirable breeds of marijuana. The potential for the commercial growing of incredible varieties of marijuana would probably make new very desirable breeds of marijuana very valuable. The additional potential which the purchase and growing of a strain would engender would be the ability to cross breed or cross back desirable strains of marijuana. There are well established techniques which can be used to stabilize or hybridize and thus destabilize a strain ( hybrid plants will reflect the characteristics of both male and female plants, in some cases hybridization will bring out the genealogy of a parent plant which was breed into the gene pool many generations earlier) or to feminize so that all seed created would produce female plants or to masculinize a strain or even a few blossoms and thus cross breed or cross back using a female plant.
