I’ve learned the hard way that second hand pot smoke give me intense headaches. Vomit-inducing skull-crushing migraines.

I leave the vicinity whenever I smell it. Our world is turning into a druggie-topia and I don’t wanna be here for it.

Okay, but 119k lbs is no small feat to get into the atmosphere

Have you tried a trebuchet

About 50 million kg, 50k tonnes, 500 starship launches. Their most generous estimates of a couple million dollars a launch, call it around a billion dollars…

Question:
How much CO2 does this produce?
notabot@piefed.social 4 hours ago
The plant grows pretty quickly as I understand it, and pulls CO2 from the atmosphere as it does so, using the carbon in its structure, and releasing the oxygen. This carbon will bond with oxygen from the air as it burns high in the atmosphere, so there’s probably no net release beyond what is needed in the process of growing the plants, making the blocks, transporting them to altitude, and feeding everyone who gets the munchies afterwards, but it would “move” the CO2 higher up. I’ve no idea what the implications of that are.

Ooh, it’s shitty math time!
Alright, so let’s assume it’s seven 17-ton bricks with an average THC of 20% - that’s what most legal states use to decide flower/concentrate equivalencies, and it’s easy to work with.
According to Google, burning one ton of industrial hemp produces 1.6 tons of CO2. Let’s assume that this industrial hemp contains no THC, and is fully converted into CO2 when it burns.
For fun, let’s also calculate how much THC comes out the other end of this. In the plant, THC forms as non-psychoactive THCa, which breaks down into psychoactive THC. In the process, it gets about 12% lighter.
So, seven 17-ton bricks of weed start out as about 24 tons of THCa and 95 tons of industrial hemp equivalent. When burned, this would become about 152 tons of CO2, but only 21 tons of THC.

When you say “according to google” you’re not referring to the AI are you?

A little less than 17 million pounds

Sure? The oxygen in CO2 comes from the air when burning, that’s about 8/11th of the atoms weight. I’ve no clue how what the percentage of carbon atoms in weed is though, but I would assume it’s the majority of the weight.

At least 3, I think.
