That doesn’t seem reasonable to me that pot farming would consume more water than one of America’s largest metropolitan areas. Bath, toilet, cooking, laundering, showering, etc. per millions of people per day.
Sounds like bogus numbers to me. I’m open to correction, but it doesn’t ring true.
I’m sitting here in the corn belt and we don’t put a drop of water on crops. I start conjuring up irrigation systems, massive water costs, manpower, fertilizer, fuel, equipment, and it’s really hard for me to believe that such a crop could be profitably brought to market.
A Marijuana plant probably needs at most a gallon of water a day (they all use drip systems these days) so just flushing their toilets once a day, the city of San Francisco would use a million gallons of water a day which would support a million pot plants. That alone is more marijuana than would be consumed by every pot smoker in America.
Somehow the numbers just don’t add up. These must be the same statisticians that brought us the global warming fraud.
