Cannabis plants could help fight climate change because they absorb carbon dioxide more than TWICE as effectively as trees

Insanity.

[Scrambler Bob]

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.

[SecondAmendment]

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...

trees?

Money grows on trees, hemp does not.

[JJBookman]

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

[EvilCapitalist]

True. But they used it to make hemp ropes.

[airborne]

I stand corrected.

Hemp, much like bamboo, is classified a plant. The fastest growing one on earth.

Brawndo Has What Plants Crave!

[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?

[airborne]

Hemp ropes could be useful. Especially in and around the DC area.

[DouglasKC]

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

[EvilCapitalist]

You’ll get no arguments from me regarding that.

[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.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Just watched Idiocracy again today with visiting relatives.

It gets funnier every time I watch it.

[joma89]

That’s a bingo. Algee absorbs most of these gases, not plants but don’t tell the stupid useful idiots who have climate change as their religion that information.
