Geez, this is not about pot plants. It’s always been about politics.

If there is no food, then what will the pot smokers eat when they get the munchies?

Take a hit man, and chill out.

Remember:

Pot can get you through times of no water better than water can get you through times of no pot.

6 gallons a day? That doesn't sound like an average house-type plant to me.

California cannabis growers may be making millions, but their thirsty plants are sucking up a priceless resource: water. Now scientists say that if no action is taken in the drought-wracked state, the consequences for fisheries and wildlife will be dire.

LOL. Wow, so that's all the drug warriors have left?

When they have to start importing water to grow the pot, the poor won’t be able to afford it.

Not a big pot supporter. But I believe this as much as I believe in global warming.

This says 1 gallon per plant daily =>

Denver Relief is considered a medium-size grower, and it is based in a 13,000-square-foot (1,200 sq m) warehouse, where 2,000 pot plants require 62,000 watts of power and 2,000 gallons (7,570 liters) of filtered water each day.

156,000 gallons per day doesn’t seem all that much for a river that has an average discharge of over 9,000 cubic feet per second.

Just more leftist BS.

In some communities, “water police” go from door to door to enforce water restrictions. Homeowners are forbidden to water their lawns except under the most rigid constraints. Sacramento offers an “app” so people can turn in neighbors to the water authorities.

And yet, knowing full well we are facing a devastating drought and that our dwindling water supply will be desperately needed by our people this summer, over the past several weeks the Bureau of Reclamation has released more than 70,000 acre feet of water from dams on the American and Stanislaus rivers to meet environmental demands that place fish above people.

That is enough water to meet the ANNUAL needs of a city of half a million people - all sacrificed in order to flush salmon smolts to the ocean (where they tend to swim anyway) and to keep the river at just the right temperature for the comfort of the fish.

If a homeowner is caught with a one gallon puddle on his lawn on the wrong day, he can be severely fined. But the government thinks nothing of flushing 23 billion gallons of desperately needed water this past month for the comfort and convenience of the fish.
