Dope will get you through times of no energy, better than energy will…. They need to save the gas in their lighters for staying warm anyways.

Makes me wonder how many tons of dope get imported, and add to that what is grown, and there is a lot of dope consumption. Since it is illegal, growers grow inside and use more energy.

And the gobs keep it illegal. They must know what is best for us.

I thought cannabis was already Legal in Spain. I remember watching a Rick Steves "Travel" PBS show a few years ago & He was talking about the Cannabis Scene in Spain. I think it showed Shops, Clubs and people growing a few plants at Home...
Look at all the "wasted work" in that video. People spent so much time & money to produce the "unlicensed" cannabis shown. Then all the Police work involved to investigate & arrest the people. With all the "Evil Stuff" going on in the world - it seems as though Spain could have used their resources differently...

Welp that works out to a smidge over 29 grams per plant.
