Great blog @reddust, enjoyed reading it. There is so much research and science going into DNA and genetic, we are still at the early stages of discovery and findings. I don't think anyone knows for sure, but seems like genetic traits can be passed down from generation to generation. I do agree with you, that the changes in one's life can alter the coding, maybe we can all re-program ourselves by the changes we make.
I am involved in the cannabis sector, and there is a lot of studies and research going on in Cannabinoids and the natural receptors we have in accepting them. Cannabis is a natural medicine, especially the CBD component, it will be interesting to see what the research and science shows and proves over the coming years.
Many people may not agree that cannabis has any medicinal values, but they probably listen to what the Gov't, FDA or Health depts tell them, it's all propaganda and opinions with no real evidence. Cannabis has been medicine for 1000's of years, it is finally being allowed for the use of what nature intended it to be. Of course, I would be curious to see if or how cannabis interacts with genetics and can it be used for reprogramming ourselves, some people claim that it opens up their mind and in a way, I guess that can reprogram some of their outlooks and thought patterns.
We have cannabis receptors occurring naturally and maybe that is because we have been using this plant for spiritual quest, food, and medicines. I think food plays a big part in how our genes express themselves. That's why I am freaked out about GMO animals and plants!
