Recently, as a soon to be new college student looking for a major, i have found myself greatly interested in biological science, particularly gene modification. I have payed attention to related milestones, such as the work toward making a glowing plant by inserting a firefly gene into the plants genetic structure. TOBACCO PLANT WITH FIREFLY GENE IMPLANT GROWS (Published 1986) . There is also a case in which flowers are modified to change colors throughout the day http://www.idtdna.com/pages/decoded...r-changing-flowers-biotechnology-for-everyone .
Also, if you didn't know already, aspartame is made by genetically modified e coli bacteria which secrete aspartame crystals. Aspartame patent: Bacteria poop makes artificial sweetener - UPI.com
Then there is the case where we used gene modification to mass produce insulin. http://www.abpischools.org.uk/page/modules/diabetes/diabetes6.cfm this also explains the basics on how it was done.
Considering worldwide deforestation, pollution, and the fact that the main sources for DMT are trees, there is an obvious problem with sustainability. Marijuana, for example, is easy to sustain, because there is a part of the plant with a huge concentration of the compounds that are used for medicinal or psychoactive reasons and it grows relatively fast. Trees, however, do not.
Then there is talk about possible extractions with different species of succulents, however the safety of said extraction would be unknown. And then there is phalaris which you would have to grow a lot of.
So here is my idea: genetically modify a species of plant which is easily controlled (does not spread) that would, say, produce much higher levels of N-N-DMT, hopefully past the 5% range, that doesn't contain other dangerous alkaloids.
In lamens, the goal would be to modify Phalaris genes to simply (im aware it isn't simple) produce and store DMT at a higher rate to achieve a higher level of sustainability and possibly reduce or eliminate the need for extractions preformed with dangerous chemicals.
I have seen that this was brought up briefly about 6 or 7 years ago, and it didnt seem to be very popular. However considering recent scientific advances, and the increased need for biotechnology in todays world, i definitely think it could be achieved in a few years with hard work and dedication alongside collaboration between the nexian minds.
I have seen too many trees demolished and too much shady business involved with DMT because of the hoops people have to jump through to extract it themselves. Its not necessarily difficult, but unnecessary. I would hope that one day soon we can all have a potent DMT bush next to our cannabis plants, and this problem of having to locate more rootbark will be a distant memory.
I am aware that while there may be some of you who have the knowledge to work on this, you may not have the time. I ask you that perhaps you can share some of this knowledge so that someone who does is able to work at this goal more efficiently.
This wont be easy, but neither was anything truly worth attaining.
Thank you for reading, and i would greatly appreciate any suggestions, or criticisms.
Peace and love,
