Depending on where it's grown, growing an ounce of marijuana indoors has the same carbon footprint as burning 7-16 gallons of gasoline and in Colorado it produces 30% more emissions than mining.

Instead of celebrating marijuana on 4/20, why don’t we remember the victims of Columbine who were shot and killed by known frequent MJ users. There have been more mass shootings with ties to MJ use by perpetrator since then

Alcohol and marijuana do not go well together for several reasons. One platform to legalize was there would be less alcohol consumption. Nope During 2015–2019, one third (34.4%) of Colorado adults who binge drank used marijuana compared with one tenth (9.9%) of nondrinkers

There's been a spike in accidental cannabis ingesting in the form of gummies, including more than 800 hundred hospital visits in Nassau, up 20-fold from five years ago. "We are talking about children that have been in a comatose state when they present."

Long Island officials urge parents to check kids' Halloween candy for edible cannabis
