Geez, this is not about pot plants. It’s always been about politics.

If there is no food, then what will the pot smokers eat when they get the munchies?

Take a hit man, and chill out.
Remember:
Pot can get you through times of no water better than water can get you through times of no pot.

Are they marketing to Wash. State?

No, Washington will be selling (starting tomorrow) only product grown within the state at permitted indoor farms (but the seeds/cuttings had to come from somewhere).

And it’s the enemy (criminal invaders) from Mexico growing the marijuana and wasting the water. Essentially, the messkin cartels run California except for one really nice place in Fresno!

They are deflecting blame.....
They are dumping millions of gallons of water from reservoirs
and now they are desperate to fix blame elsewhere...
lying scumbag Democrats.

6 gallons a day? That doesn't sound like an average house-type plant to me.

If this article is correct, it’s not a matter of potheads dying from starvation, but from dehydration. Potheads are weak enough to die willingly for a fleeting feeling.

California cannabis growers may be making millions, but their thirsty plants are sucking up a priceless resource: water. Now scientists say that if no action is taken in the drought-wracked state, the consequences for fisheries and wildlife will be dire. LOL. Wow, so that's all the drug warriors have left?

The wine snobs in Napa and Sonoma counties take way more water out of the Eel than the pot growers.
To: Steelfish
When they have to start importing water to grow the pot, the poor won’t be able to afford it.
