Insanity.

And pot smokers hold their breaths, to capture that evil carbon.

Our Founding Father’s grew hemp trees. Faster growing than pine and with the added benefit of hemp seed oil.

[Scrambler Bob]

Other crops, such as cotton, need at least 1,500 gallons of water for every pound produced.

Does this include bathroom breaks for the ‘cotton pickers’.

[Beowulf9]

They inhale.

But even better, food crops sequester CO2 by converting it to sugars ... just goes to show you Cannibis impairs ones ability to reason and think critically...

We don’t need Cannabis plants to absorb CO2, the oceans have been doing it just fine for billions of years.

[KarlInOhio]

Numerous studies have shown that hemp captures up to 16 tons of greenhouse gas annually, while trees suck up about six tons.

All hemp in the world? A single plant? An acre of hemp?

Hudson Carbon, a New York research center that studies carbon storage, found that one acre of cannabis plants can store up to three tons of carbon, removing more than seven tons from the atmosphere.

Is it three or seven? Or is the author jumping back and forth between carbon and carbon dioxide without bothering to tell the reader?

[DouglasKC]

Well of course. Leftists believe dope is the answer to everything.

[newfreep]

I suggest leftists who believe CO2 is evil should do their part and STOP EXHALING THEIR OWN CO2.

As a bonus, that would solve many, many issues.

Hemp, or industrial hemp, is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant but contains deficient levels of the psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compared to marijuana, which is another variety.

The plant being discussed is not the marijuana that gets people high. And there have been groups advocating the use of hemp for many things long before the issue of excess carbon came along. Is probably worth considering.

I've been using hemp protein in a protein shake for years

TPTB want 20 stoners living in every house. 1 or 2 will work and the rest can stay home and collect UBI

You sure cotton needs 1500 gallons of water for every pound produced? Seems it is grown in semi-arid places without irrigation such as West Texas.

[familyop]

They’re obsessed and possessed by their weed. That’s why we call it dope.

[Dogbert41]

Hmmm, can we cut down all the forests then, and replace them with weed?

[Bonemaker]

There is no “climate change”.

[SaxxonWoods]

Now that’s funny right there. I wonder if Hemp has the same effect. A lot of useful things are made from Hemp.

Were the researchers drug free when they came to their conlusions?
