CANNABIS INNOVATION CENTRE DIRECTOR HOPES TO REDEFINE CANNABIS BREEDING

摘要

Due to the recent legalization of cannabis, this area of science is set to grow like never before. Until now, game-changing breakthroughs with cannabis crops haven't been possible because it's been illegal. Greg Baute, Director of the Cannabis Innovation Centre (CIC) in Comox, BC, is hoping to do for the cannabis industry what R Leclecq did for the sunflower growing business. "In the 1960s, R Leclecq was the first person to cross wild sunflowers, and he changed the sunflower growing business forever," says Baute. "Somebody in the next five to 10 years will make a similar discovery and define how cannabis is bred forever," he said.
