@sun Incredible isn’t it? I’m not arguing against cannabis at all. It can be grown anywhere honestly. I’m just saying hemp isn’t a big deal at all in agriculture.

Amusingly 122m people in USA in 1930 that was cited for hemp growth. Today there is 342m people. Just on that alone. 2.8x production is required to be equal. Simply put this is the corn production. It took 80 years to get touch over 3x from the baseline.

Somehow we are supposed to not impact food production, produce all these products. At the time when agriculture land is being consumed by development. Farms are closing, massive numbers of them have reverted to wild state. Since 1950 29% of farmland has vanished. This trend will continue.

This doesn’t address growing conditions and water availability that is becoming increasingly stressed.

Pothead here has rational logic and reasonable expectations. If we throttled hemp hard today we might be at corn efficiency by the time I’m dead.
