i went to that hershey factory on a field trip for school.

you're not even beginning to imagine the production capabilities of creating that much biomass. we only smoke the buds, leaving the leaves and stalks for other use. right now, the plant has a split cultivation use; it is hemp that is used for industrial purposes, and it has been artificially selected for useful traits. this should be easily resolved through artificial selection on the bud-producing plants.

the reality is that marijuana holds the solution to a wide array of environmental problems, and this should end up driving numerous different sectors, from plastics to paper. this is the real "green economy".

it's going to take a while, but there will be a day when marijuana overtakes oil as the central focus of this country's economy. it will be on that day that we can start to seriously accelerate transition away from a fossil-fuel economy, and it will be marijuana that offers us those real solutions, both economically and in terms of tangible products.

so, this story is making the rounds, and it's no doubt causing eyerolls. but, it is in truth merely touching the surface.

marijuana is at the centre of the future of the economy, of the future of energy and probably of the future of the species.
