It ended up growing by over 533,000 square miles. And then, they said in the 1970s that global cooling was an existential issue as we undergo periods of glaciation. They were wrong again.

As the environmental Left goes haywire over carbon emissions, everything has been slated for demolition. Beef became a target, but not a new enemy has emerged for these green warriors: pot smokers. Yes, the marijuana business is now problematic to saving Mother Earth (via Politico):

Potheads are, so I'm told, a pretty conservative lot.

Compare them with the abstemious Karens who would shit a brick at the idea of anyone trying to cop a buzz.

I find it hard to believe that this is “a thing.” Cannabis is the drug of choice for most leftist wackos. Not quite ready to believe that they’re starting to see anything negative about their preferred high.

On the other hand, I do worry about global warming.

I tend to sweat like a pig when I'm stoned.

I wouldn’t say the ones I know are conservatives. More right leaning libertarians.

I think weed wins.I wouldn’t be surprised if the left pushes ATF to go to war against weed though.”Legal” weed also cuts into big weed cartel so who knows?

Forget about it. Governments aren’t giving up those taxes now that they’ve had a taste at the trough.

“the marijuana business is now problematic.”

True. Each marijuana business uses the same amount of electricity as small countries. And coal is used to generate the electricity for marijuana businesses. Leftists are dumb and drugs users are not helpful.

The Left becomes a veritable “China Syndrome” meltdown.

Mary J has only relatively recently been legalized. Now this?

Gonna be a long last part of the Summer and early Autumn.

Seems they would go after Bitcoin mining and the like way before this since supposedly this is because of energy consumption by growers.

LOL! Yep, pigs don’t have sweat glands. That’s why they like to cool off in the mud.
