Reading an article about how Berkely researchers were able to make genetically-modified yeast that produces THC naturally, using the exact same diet that ordinary yeast uses to make ethanol (ie, sugar and basically nothing else). Literally think for one second about the implications of that. People, like regular-ass people, have made transgenic yeast in their garage (here's a guide!) and yeast reproduces crazy style. You could buy a little packet of weed yeast and put it in a sealed bottle on your shelf and feed it with old leftover fruit and it would be like having a little mini THC factory. If you were in prison you could get someone to smuggle in weed yeast and do the exact same thing in a prison toilet. And that's true for basically any organic chemical! Precision fermentation is soooo cool
