Bigoted intolerance vs. science-based fact
Dutch Passion Seed Company – “The argument is false and like so much anti-cannabis rhetoric the arguments are based on hype and prejudice rather than logic and fact. No wonder the cannabis community are doing their best to replace bigoted intolerance with science-based fact.” - http://www.dutch-passion.nl/en/grow-info/what-is-skunk/
What's interesting in the comment from the Dutch Passion Seed Company, is that it's basically a lie built on denial and projection.
We see this attitude on other sites and pages, like those focused on global warming, and gun control.
This statement is actually a comment on the intolerance of the Dutch Seed Company. You see this often in debates on pages like this, where the accuser is actually engaging in the behavior they seemingly detest.
In addition, if you go to Dutch Seed Company's page, you'll never see any links like the one below, describing the use of chemicals or radiation to stimulate the growth of marijuana plants. The same holds true for NORML, Marijuana Now, and similar agenda driven sites. If there is anything, it's grouped into the "myths" category.
Also, sites claiming "Truths" or "Myths," like Dutch Passion Seed Company, often are intensely bigoted. Red flags should immediately rise. Often, the "TRUTH" is what they deem fit, and that's it.
You can often tell this at a glance by the dialogue that is used. A site that is genuinely critical of an issue, says so, then lays out evidence, links, and references to support its position. With a site that is biased, assorted denigrations are generally the rule.
As George Orwell wrote in Politics vs. Literature, his review of Gulliver's Travels, beliefs like this are totalitarian in nature, "Houyhnhnms already know what there is to know, so why should dissident opinion be tolerated?"

GMO Pot
"While marijuana has definitely been "genetically modified" to contain higher levels of THC, that change didn't involve the tools of modern biotechnology."
The point being made here is that GMO marijuana has already been developed by “amateur entrepreneurs,” in their attempts to produce more potent strains.
Two methods are used: The first, "mutation breeding," exposes plants or seeds to doses of chemicals or radiation that cause random mutations, and then looked at for desirable effects.
The second is uses the toxic chemical colchicine “to induce the plants to double their number of chromosomes, something that leads to more vigorous growth.”
Growers won’t tell you this, but it is the reason marijuana potency has increased over decades.
“Both mutation breeding and chromosome doubling can lead to genetic changes which are undesirable but which remain undetected.”
