Americans should be more worried about the First Amendment...

Volcanoes put out more carbon dioxide than man could possibly produce...

That is complete and utter nonsense!

Again you need to listen to the people with facts rather than just people that make up bullshit for their own agenda.

Only if Xenu drops H-bombs in them. And as far as I know, that hasn't happened in a few million years, but I'll have to verify that with Tom Cruise.

Global Warming scientists at work in the lab:




This PROVES there is global warming. Naked OWS agrees.

I'll take it from your post that you concede.

Smoking A Joint Could Ruin Your Carbon Footprint

Marijuana growers are responsible for 1 percent of all energy consumption in the U.S. according to a new report.

Evan Mills, a longtime energy analyst at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, recently completed a study aimed at quantifying a previously undocumented component of energy demand in the United States: the marijuana industry.

The analysis performed in this study finds that indoor Cannabis production results in energy expenditures of $5 billion each year, with electricity use equivalent to that of 2 million average U.S. homes. This corresponds to 1% of national electricity consumption or 2% of that in households. The yearly greenhouse-gas pollution (carbon dioxide, CO2 ) from the electricity plus associated transportation fuels equals that of 3 million cars. Energy costs constitute a quarter of wholesale value.

These findings become even more remarkable when Mills breaks them down into easy to visualize terms. For instance:

Smoking a single Cannabis cigarette represents 2 pounds of CO2 emissions, an amount equal to running a 100-watt light bulb for 17 hours with average U.S. electricity.
A four-by-four-foot marijuana production module doubles the electricity use of an average U.S. home and triples that of an average California home. The added electricity use is equivalent to running about 30 refrigerators. Processed Cannabis results in 3000-times its weight in CO2 emissions.
For off-grid production (i.e. secret grow houses in the woods), it requires 70 gallons of diesel fuel to produce one indoor Cannabis plant, or 140 gallons with smaller, less-efficient gasoline generators.

My distant cousin Chris lives completely off the grid in NH. He uses solar and wind to generate all his electricity

Now you're bashing a music fan on a music fan site ??

I do it all the time.

Wow another reason to legalise marijuana. If it was legal people would grow it outside using solar power instead.

[ELVIS]

What about LED grow lights ??

Well, maybe in some places. Not likely around here though.

...powered by a wind/solar generator.

[Seshmeister]

I'm guessing that you don't grow oranges either.

If it was legal it would be grown in sunny States and then shipped to your local store.

Well, we can always trade apples for oranges, literally, since they do grow here. But what to trade for weed....

Guess we need to legalize mushrooms too?

[ELVIS]

Or stop banning things and making them illegal...

Prohibition does not work...

It doesn't work for drugs and alcohol and it won't work for guns...

It's laughable, because the only thing gained by banning a particular "style" of firearm is a false sense of security...
