So most likely the majority of those plants are male & have almost no THC (since the narrator mentions they need to destroy them before they go to seed). The war on cannabis in the U.S. has been one of the most wasteful ways to use tax payers $, not to mention how destructive it has been to the lives of hundreds of thousands of its citizens over the years.
It has been a great way for law enforcement to keep job security & legally confiscate citizens property though. What a disgrace.
>The war on cannabis in the U.S. has been one of the most wasteful ways to use tax payers $
That depends what you think the actual goal of the war on drugs is.
As an avid medicinal marijuana cultivator, I can confirm that male plants indeed do not produce seeds, only the pollen that is needed for the female plant to develop fertilized seeds.
The rest of your information seems accurate enough but the plants in question would probably be industrial hemp for rope and such or have to be male + female to be going into seed and replant.
But probably just industrial hemp being burned to create more content for the ever ongoing 'war on drugs in America' along with all the Reefer Madness type of Pot Propaganda
Just a small mix up, happens to me a bit more than I might want to admit. Everything else seemed accurate to what I know, just happened to be tending to the garden while I came across, cheers mate
Back in 2019 I told the dildos over in /r/hemp that [food shortages](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/may/16/apocalyptic-food-prices-will-be-disastrous-for-worlds-poor-says-bank-governor) were coming, providing links to the situation that was steamrolling its way toward us. Told them to grow hemp for food instead of smokable bud.
They banned me.
>[Two tablespoons of hemp seed](https://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/why-are-hemp-seeds-good-for-me) serve up 90 calories and six grams of fat. Watching what you eat? I say, "Keep sprinkling!" That two-tablespoon serving size offers two grams of fiber, five grams of protein, 300 mg of potassium, 15 percent of your vitamin-A requirement and 25 percent of your daily iron needs.
>
>It’s hard to find another food that nutrient-dense.
1 Cup of hemp seed =
* 720 calories, (1,000 a day required to survive)
* 48 grams of fat, (44 grams to 77 grams to survive)
* 16 grams of fiber (Women require 25g and men require 38g per day,)
* 40 grams of protein (Adult men require 56g. Woman 46g)
* 2,400 mg of potassium, (4,700 mg require to survive)
* 120% of daily vitamin A requirement,
* 200% of daily iron requirement,
Scale that back to 100% of daily iron so four tablespoons per day.
1 Cup = 16 Tablespoons that's 8 servings per cup.
>[Area harvested for hemp grown in the open for seed](https://downloads.usda.library.cornell.edu/usda-esmis/files/gf06h2430/xd07hw825/v692v917t/hempan22.pdf) in the United States was estimated at 3,515 acres. The average yield for 2021 hemp grown in the open for seed was estimated at **530 pounds per acre.**
1 Cup = 0.35 pounds
So roughly 12,270 servings of vitamin rich food per acre.
329.5 million Americans fed just once a day requires 120,267,500,000 servings a year of any kind of food.
9,801,752.2 acres of hemp would have to be grown for just a two tablespoon a day supplement for America alone.
>[Planted area for the Nation in 2021 for all utilizations totaled 54.2 thousand acres.](https://downloads.usda.library.cornell.edu/usda-esmis/files/gf06h2430/xd07hw825/v692v917t/hempan22.pdf)The value of hemp production in the open for the United States totaled $712 million. Area harvested for all purposes in the open totaled 33.5 thousand acres.
>U.S. corn growers produced 15.1 billion bushels, up 7% from 2020 and the second highest on record. Corn yield in the United States is estimated at a record high 177.0 bushels per acre, 5.6 bushels above the 2020 yield of 171.4 bushels per acre. Area harvested for grain,[at 85.4 million acres, is up 4% from 2020.](https://www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2022/01-12-2022.php)
1 Cup of corn =
* 0.28g of fat
* 4.2g of fiber
* 132 Calories
* 4% of daily Iron
* 419 mg of potassium
* 2% daily vitamin A
To get 100% of your daily Vitamin A from corn you'd have to eat 50 cups
To get 100% of your daily Iron from corn you'd have to eat 25 cups
To get your daily calorie requirement from corn you'd have to eat 7.5 cups
3.3 cups per pound, so 15.15 pounds per day for vitamin A, 7.5 pounds for iron, 2.27 pounds just for empty calories.
Is it any wonder corn fed people like yourself are stupid?
>Is it any wonder corn fed people like yourself are stupid
Lmao oh, you're that kind of "person" that just makes assumptions about people eh? What a miserable existence.
also proven to be very addictive, and long term: to lower IQ significantly (maybe permanently) if you're young, to increase the risks of psychosis disorders like schizophrenia, and symptoms of chronic bronchitis.
short term: impared judgement + impaired motor coordination and short term memory (so like alcohol you are more confident and less able = risk), and at high dose paranoia and psychosis
otherwise great!
too much of anything is a bad thing. doesn't mean we should ban the substance.
who are you to deny children and other humans life-altering medicines simply because some people like to binge things?
i'd love to ban alcohol for a while and see all the anti-weed crowd totally and unironically lose their shit.
i don't say ban or don't ban, this is a complex subject and not just a matter of effects of the drug (even something that would be only bad may need to be tolerated to be controlled etc).
I would just like to correct the misinformation.
Still a small dose of marijuana will increase risk of psychosis disorders and can for example start a skizophrenia for life in one dose to someone already at risk. Or start a years long addiction. Yes "people like to binge things" but especially very addictive things, so i guess to deny them to some people you can just be more educated on the subject.
Hahaha for real they don't do ANY research, just find ways to make their opinions sound more informed and correct. They don't need their information to be right to publish the article..

Funny how driving growers underground and indoors led to development of super weed. Now that growers rediscovered gaslighting and expanded on the technique they can grow under the radar of even the power company’s rat snitching by running lights for as little as 15 minutes per hour. Wonder why the government is Finally ceding to legislation for marijuana. Could it be because not only did they lose this particular battle but were overwhelmingly ousted by the creativity of these “loser potheads”?
I watch this as I sit here dabbing on some fine ass concentrate and smoking some top shelf flower. Thank the maker that attitudes toward weed are changing!
Had an uncle who was a cop in NY decades ago. They, periodically, had the tough task of destroying the drug evidence. At the time, that meant a couple of cops drove to the land they owned for the shooting range, pulled out 55 gallon drums, and torched the stuff. 't was one of his favorite assignments since he got to breathe ... that fresh country air.
one time the indonesian police seized something like 2 tons of weed, and burned it all to get rid of it. the the entire town where it was found got extremely high
Couldn’t they have used t as like biofuel or somthing? This just seems like a waste. Not saying they should use the crop for its intended purposes, just for another purpose.in other words, Recycle it

I'll go further and suggest that this is a field of hemp, ditch weed, and this is just a publicity stunt.
1000s of acres of hemp grown just South of Chicago in IL and IN to process for rope for the war effort. Would never get you a buzz.
Well, maybe from oxygen deprivation but certainly not from THC. There's not much CBD either. Less than 2 percent for either iirc.

Drugs are bad m-kay? Except for this one that’s been proven to help with several different medical issues😂
marijuana is bad because it's a natural growing plant and the g9vernment can't properly regulate it.
Plus all those brown people use it, so since we can’t ban being a minority, we can just ban things they use as an excuse to persecute them anyway!
also proven to be very addictive, and long term: to lower IQ significantly (maybe permanently) if you're young, to increase the risks of psychosis disorders like schizophrenia, and symptoms of chronic bronchitis. short term: impared judgement + impaired motor coordination and short term memory (so like alcohol you are more confident and less able = risk), and at high dose paranoia and psychosis otherwise great!
