Except for the electricity usage, that is. 1% of the entire grid is devoted to it!
Greenhouses donāt use electricity. Youāre thinking of indoor grows.
The article seems to state that even if pot was legal in California, there just isnāt enough water in the Emerald Triangle to support it. Seems like once itās legalized, itāll likely move to the Central Valley like every other crop. I suppose that sucks if youāre a grower in Humboldt, but it is a lot better not to have fertilizer strewn around the forest and bears choking on pesticides.

Growing is not as easy as people like to make it seem, particularly if you want GOOD, healthy, smoke-able weed. I would never be able to grow on my own. Iād kill the damn things.
Itās harder to grow in AZ because of the heat and the dryness. In California, itās harder to grow because of the bugs. A friend of mine tried, and she has a green thumb ā but still failed, because some sort of bug took over before she could get control of it. Itās just not that easy.

If it were another crop on a farm then outcomes would actually likely be good. Another profitable crop to rotate through a field is almost always a good thing.
If these statistics are accurate, your friends are atypical in this regard. SOMEONE is buying all of that weed from Mexican cartels and environmentally hazardous sources in the US.

Greenhouses use minimal electricity. They are incredibly environmentally friendly because they areā¦ greenhouses.
And they actually visit grow sites to verify claims?
I tend to agree with you, but I wouldnāt hold my breath if I were you. It seems really unlikely that the drug warriors will ever have to answer for their actions.
