Its called traditional processing, which is considered to be gmo, food like that would be labeled gmo.
Sorry, bro, but you're wrong.
That's how all crops are done. That's the reason corn is more than just a grass.
It's also the whole reason bananas even exist.

That's not GMO, it's just breeding 
Yeah I doubt it's too common for the people who develop marijuana strains today to have the budget/means to actually splice in genes from other species. I guess inducing polyploidy with chemical agents like colchicine could properly be considered genetic modification though, and my impression is that there are commercial strains that probably are descended from chemically induced polyploids.

dude this is breeding and you wouldnt be changing the genetic makeup....just weeding out the shittier phenotypes
No, you're weeing out the shittier genotypes by observing the phenotypes expressed.
No. As much as I love GMOs and would love to see some GMO pot, it's not the same. http://www.mnn.com/food/healthy-eating/stories/genetic-engineering-vs-selective-breeding

I feel that this is much different.. You're not actually altering the DNA in the same sense. Cross breeding for desired traits I have no problem with.
GMO means Genetically Modified Organism.
Selective breeding is absolutely genetic modification. You are modifying the genetics by limiting the gene pool artificially via selecting desired traits and removing undesired traits. Landrace strains would likely be non-GMO, though. Selective breeding is a form of GMO. Non-selective breeding would be non-GMO.
Breeding weed is not GMO.
Taking the DNA of a frog into a marijuana strain to keep it from being susceptible to a certain bug is GMO.

Selective breeding is not genetic modification. They are completely different things.

You do not need to directly alter a gene to modify it. You can passively modify genes through culling undesired traits and limiting the gene pool artificially.

It's not an either-or situation. Selective breeding AND splicing genes together from different organisms are BOTH GMO. They are both different type of GMO.
If I breed a red flower and a white flower together to get a pink flower that does not occur naturally, how are you going to tell me that there was in no way at all a modification to the genes in that pink flower? While they were never directly manipulated, they were definitely modified.

Your use of the term GMO is very broad and loose then.
When an African and Asian make a baby, is that baby GMO?

If that's the case, then there's no point in using the term GMO, because all crops have been selectively bred at some point.

I don't use the term loosely; I don't use it at all because I think it's a bullshit term used for marketing just like "organic." I'm not saying GMO doesn't exist, I'm just saying popular use of the word is not always correct.
No because the African and Asian would be meeting and mating in a natural way. Selective breeding is controlled and manipulated. That's what makes the orgnism "modified" in a GMO; the manipulation. If you took an Asian and and African, forced them to breed so you could have a black Asian baby because that's the trait you wanted, then yes you modified it.

They will probably change the term GMO to something else in the future for people like you hung up on the literal translation of the abbreviation. Look at the history of the word GMO and you will see why you're wrong. It's a lot like how they had to change "Global warming" to "Climate change" for people who just can't seem to grasp it.

So the only significant difference you make between non gmo and GMO is that its forced? That makes no sense.
Whether the baby making was forced or not doesnt change anything. Selectively choosing to have a plant mate with another plant is not GMO.
IF my fan accidently turns on and pollen spreads to a female plant and it pollinates something crossed/new. Hey, it was an accident. Therefor, NOT GMO. - Makes no sense.

Alright your right, who on here can look at genes to see if theyve been modified or not?im sure some one on here can.
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

Yeah, such a broad definition is useless because virtually every crop would fall under it. It's also not what most people mean when they say "GMO."

Genetic engineering is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. The techniques involve sophisticated manipulations of genetic material and other biologically important chemicals.
Quote:
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism.
Quote:
Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism. Examples of genetically engineered (transgenic) organisms currently on the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content.
Selective breeding, is NOT and will not ever be GMO, by definition. It is not physically possible to cross salmon genes with a tomato plant by selective breeding.
