Bad News, Libs: Smoking A Joint Bad For Your Carbon Footprint

Oh, all right, yes, I know and have known plenty of right leaning folks who smoke pot. I don’t hang with them because, personally, I don’t smoke it, do not care for the way it makes me feel. And, as a sidebar, as I’ve said many times before, I could care less whether it is legalized or not. But, that is a post for a different day. Because right leaning folks are not worried about their carbon footprint. Liberals are (though, they rarely do anything to reduce their own): Smoking a joint could ruin your carbon footprint[1]

Marijuana growers are responsible for 1 percent of all energy consumption in the U.S. according to a new report.

Evan Mills[2], a longtime energy analyst at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs, recently completed a study[3] aimed at quantifying a previously undocumented component of energy demand in the United States: the marijuana industry.

That’s quite a bit of energy just so you liberals can get high, isn’t it? Haven’t these pot growers switched over to alternative energy sources yet….hey, I wonder if we can turn pot into fuel? You can hear liberals screaming at their computer screens about now, eh?

These findings become even more remarkable when Mills breaks them down into easy to visualize terms. For instance:

Yikes! Those kinds of stats can really ruin your buzz.

Who knew that marijuana production and use could be so bad for globull warming? Funny that one joint is worse than a light bulb. Both are banned. Though, there are no penalties for possession of incandescent light bulbs. Yet.

Unfortunately, switching to solar just wouldn’t work, according to the study (insert sad face emoticon here). And “The yearly greenhouse-gas pollution (carbon dioxide, CO2 ) from the electricity plus associated transportation fuels equals that of 3 million cars.” Time to give up smoking pot, Libs!
