Writer Hunter S. Thompson, who famously traveled through Las Vegas with a “car full of marijuana and head full of acid,” is bound for legend status in the cannabis community. Pot strains, of a similar stuff he delighted in while he was alive, will be authoritatively marked with his Gonzo brand. The plants will be cloned or hybridized from six strains that he smoked before his suicide in 2005, as per his wife, Anita Thompson.

Gonzo-marked weed will be sold in Colorado, where it is legal to buy retail cannabis from recreational dispensaries.“I’m looking forward to being a drug lord,” she kidded to the Times, which she additionally cleared up on Facebook was a “silly“ turn of expression that“doesn’t match my personality.” Thompson said that benefits from the deals will bolster redesigning "Owl Cultivate" into a historical center. The compound will likewise be a home away form home for essayists and performers.

“I have found a legal method to extract the DNA from Hunter’s personal marijuana and hashish,” Thompson wrote in her Facebook post. She said she saved the plant material for 12 to 15 years. “I am in the process of making the strains available to those who would like to enjoy the authentic Gonzo strains in legal states.”

Somewhat less demanding than cloning a sheep, to make a plant clone can be as straightforward as gently repotting a cut branch. The cutting, once it flourishes, will develop into a hereditarily indistinguishable living being. Included hormones speed the procedure along, yet as Ars Technica noted in 2013, it is conceivable to clone regular garden plants with just family supplies. Tomatoes can be cloned, as can eggplants and roses (with the admonition that specific blossom assortments are ensured by patent, Ars Technica called attention to, which restricts unapproved cloning).

“Since it became legal I get approached probably once a month by cannabis growers, dispensaries,” Anita Thompson told the Aspen Times. “I’ve had probably 10 meetings in the last three years and I always ended up saying ‘No’ because it’s the same story every time: somebody wants to slap Hunter’s name on their strain.”

She said the Gonzo brand would be a piece of her approach to secure his legacy. “If I put Hunter’s name on somebody else’s strain I can never go back and say, ‘No, this is the authentic one.’”

Other star cannabis strains incorporate the Marley Common, made by a Silicon Valley-upheld weed start-up that authorized Bounce Marley’s similarity. In April 2015, Willie Nelson reported Willie’s Hold, which he guaranteed was “the best available.“

Snoop Dogg has his own particular weed strain, as does rapper Riff Raff. (LA Week after week reported that Riff Raff was examining a California dispensary’s products and, struck by how purple one plant showed up, pronounced he needed the strain to be his.) In January, on-screen character and noted pot fan Tommy Chong said his strain was available to be purchased in 23 areas over the condition of Washington. What’s more, artist Melissa Etheridge markets a “Private Save Cannabis Implanted Wine Tincture“ on her site.
