The Future of Orange Julius: THC Oranges
October 6th, 2008 by Perry
Oh, how great would that be.
Actually, in one of the more stunning displays of ingenuity, a scientist created a THC-producing orange tree. This. Is. Brilliant.
Dr. Hugo Nanofsky, a biochemist at Florida State University and tenured professor, created the strand after he was inspired by an officer ceasing his car as a teenager.
At the heart of the confusion is the fact that THC now naturally occurs in a new species of citrus fruit.
It was only a matter of time before the DEA became involved, and its jurisdictional capabilities of regulating a fruit.
In fact, Florida’s top law enforcement officials admit that even if the cultivation of Nanofsky’s orange were to be outlawed, it would be exceedingly difficult to identify the presence of outlawed fruit among the state’s largest agricultural crop.
Update: Unfortunately, the news was too good to be true and was proven to be a hoax. Move along, there’s nothing to see here. Hmph.
