Radioactive Weed?

[greenmatter]

Btw a geiger counter is only like $500,-.
Measure first then start fear mongering.

fear mongering is way easier without facts. why would you want to ruin all the panic by clouding it with facts? that would be silly! also ... if you had a geiger counter and found out everything is hot WTF are you gonna do. can't get off this ride folks! jumping at shadows won't help, but watching folks get all bunged up about shit they can't do anything about or don't know anything about is very entertaining IMHO

 

[longearedfriend]

a little bit side track but.. I read somewhere that they grew hemp to heal/clean the soil that has been ravaged by tchernobyl

 

[greenmatter]

yup read about that too. amazing plant with a million uses!!!

 

[Mountain]

I'd be more worried about people using fungicides & pesticides

Yeah that.

i heard thatu can use sunflowers too

Radioactive Cannabis From Japan Fallout

Radioactive Cannabis From Japan Fallout

since Cannabis Indica/Sativa/Ruderalis are bioaccumulators do you think it's possible for the cannabis to collect some type of radioactive isotoptes from the fallout plume? from what Ive been told Hemp was used to remediate radionuclides from the ground after the Cherynobyl incident.


Just has me a little worried.


here are some links if you want to track the fallout.

I would say it is more probable then possible. DLB

Could be a good buzz......
Better than glass in the weed!
Just imagine if a large thermonuclear weapon were ever detonated anywhere in the world.
Just one would be devastating.

 

[headiez247]

send all supposedly infected weed to me. I will dispose of it properly.

Glad theres no grit weed around here. This incident imo will probably be a lot more devastating then a nuke bomb in the long run if nothings done to stop the radiation from leaking into the atmosphere .

I wouldn't be worried at this point even though they upgraded the disaster level from 5 to 7 unless you're growing next to the reactors.

 

[TxMatt]

Some streams for Geiger Counters. The one in driggs idaho is reading really high.

THis is from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, take a look.

thanks for the april 11th heads up on the 12th.

awesome

No, a nuclear weapon would be infinitely worse. Even a couple large bombs has the potential to destroy almost all life on earth. Millions of tons of radioactive dust raising into the upper atmosphere, and circling the globe, contaminating everything for hundreds or thousands of years, depending on the isotope.
The only people surviving would be the people in the underground bunkers from which they fire the weapons. No comparison at all to this small radiation leak. That's why we must eliminate nukes, and can never let them get into the hands of terrorists. Perhaps the world will learn it's lesson after this incident. Nuclear war can never happen, or it will be the end of everything.

 

[LovableHuggable]

Thing is if your weed does get any trace amounts of radioactive elements you will be ingesting them meaning they are a threat. Most radioactive elements are only bad if you inhale or ingest them. Only being really close to something hot will make it so dangerous only lead will save you. Edit: Also if you drink milk you will ingest them too no matter how big or small the concentration is.

You would think the 2,044 +- a few nuclear bombs that have been exploded world wide would have already done that.

 

[RetroGrow]

You would think the 2,053 nuclear bombs that have been exploded world wide would have already done that.

The bombs made now are much, much, much more powerful than the original nukes that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There's a film called "On The Beach". You should check it out.
Or check out this short animated film, "When the wind blows".

No one would survive an all out thermonuclear war between "super powers".
Most bombs that were used for "testing" were exploded under ground.
We use "H-Bombs" now, not "A-Bombs" which were more "environmentally friendly". "H-Bombs" use nuclear fission. Much more dangerous. The old "A-Bombs " used nuclear fusion. A one megaton bomb is 80 times more powerful than the "A-Bomb" used on Hiroshima. And Russia has made bombs as big as 80 megatons. You do the math. Today's bombs use multiple warheads, that split up in flight and cover a vast area, with small bomblets exploding all over the place. A single one megaton bomb exploded between N.Y. and Philly would completely destroy both cities and everything in between, and that doesn't even consider the radiation.

Yeah those crazy russians did build the big one.
The tsar was a three-stage Teller–Ulam design hydrogen bomb with a yield of 50 megatons (Mt).[2] This is equivalent to 1,400 times the combined power of the two nuclear explosives used in World War II (Little Boy (13–18 kilotons) and Fat Man (21 kilotons), the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki),[3] or 10 times the combined power of all the explosives used in WWII. But it is still only one quarter of the estimated yield of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. A three-stage H-bomb uses a fission bomb primary to compress a thermonuclear secondary, as in most H-bombs, and then uses energy from the resulting explosion to compress a much larger additional thermonuclear stage. However, there is evidence that the Tsar Bomba had a number of third stages rather than a single very large one.[4]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba
