Cannabis fields against climate change?

Growing cannabis might be a contribution in fighting global warming. “Cannabis is the only plant that likes polluted air”, so says Sander who specializes in developing growing techniques for the cannabis growing community. A few years ago this Belgian suffered from a series of lord hemorrhage, but no medicine could bring back his health except for cannabis.

We are all familiar with the fact that trees filter the air of CO2 (carbon dioxide). Some scientists even state that mass tree planting would solve the climate problem completely. “But no tree is so eager to use a frequent dose of CO2 as the cannabis indica and sativa”, so says Sander. That is what they use for THC production. With extra CO2 in the air the THC level which is usually around 8%, may increase up to 15%. And, the plants are too busy absorbing CO2 that they hardly take on other toxins such as cannabinoïds.

Considering the Kyoto climate agreement, Sander is thinking about guerilla actions. Like planting weed illegally in out-lying, hidden places. The government should consider cannabis fields as an alternative to buying fresh air elsewhere in the world. As they were actually planning to in order to achieve the goals of Kyoto.

Another plus to marijuana that the haters of the world would deny. I guesse they are gonna wait till we run out of air before they do it the easy and natural way.

Cannabis is not a C4 plant, keep that in mind. “But no tree is so eager to use a frequent dose of CO2 as the cannabis indica and sativa” As far as I know: maize sucks more CO2 out of the air because of its affinity to it. But keep on guerilla planting as long as you don't destroy other plants and you give back a piece of nature we're all taking daily anywhere else!

hahahahaha !
awesome ! but what about the fact plants absorb O2 as well during night time and breath out CO2 ?

why didn't anyone think of this before shit happens?if weed was flowing around that good there probably wouldn't be much crime any more because its everrywere and no one has to fight over it or say shit because it would be on every street. and everybody will be happy!

Marijuana = Divine gift from Mother Gaia. USE IT.

yes the weed is amazing...but NOT when grown under lights that are effectively linked to coal burning power stations...give up the hydro!

I'd rather not smoke than use CARBON-HEAVY WEED

Phytotech specializes in phytoremediation, which means using plants (phyto) to clean up polluted sites. Phytoremediation can be used to remove radioactive elements, and to clean up metals, pesticides, solvents, crude oil, and other toxins leaching from landfills.
Plants such as cannabis break down organic pollutants and stabilize metal contaminants by acting as filters or traps. "Hemp is proving to be one of the best phyto-remediative plants we have been able to find," said Slavik Dushenkov, a research scientist with Phytotech.
