Growing weed takes more energy than mining bitcoin. Can it go green? Growing weed inside uses about 1 percent of U.S. electricity and pollutes more than cryptocurrency mining. There’s a better way to fuel America’s high.

  1. Yes of course it can. Legalize it and people can use the sun instead of making one inside. Organic methods instead of hydroponics. Etc.

  2. Outdoor grown is just as good and in some cases better.

  3. Wrong article linked.

    Also while I doubt that figure, it is a very large number, a small indoor grow will use 10x or more of a normal household. Buy sungrown weed, hippies.

  4. I’m going to try again, but my last attempt was very sad. 

  5. Indoor flower doesn’t compare. Use that garbage for extracts.

  6. Plants and cannabis can actually be used in a local economy.
