And the OP's choice of articles is more appreciation of irony (given the massive overlap in potheads and warmers) than embracing CAGW. That should be clear to everyone.
Exactly. But it is interesting watching the pseudo-intellectuals over-thinking the post and coming to conclusions that are based in their perceptions of what the post "really means".
Here is the sum total of my commentary in the OP: "Oh, oh. Marijuana growing is bad for the environment and in a whole slew of different ways. If you read nothing else, read Josh Harkinson's story linked below."
But there is a deeper meaning in those words and saying those words means I must accept assumptions about various things as well as come to realizations and acceptances. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. At the heart of their involvement in the thread is that they really, really, like smoking this shit but damn, it might not be good from an environmental perspective and the resultant HAL moment "blows their minds".
Which I knew it would. With every puff, they'll be thinking that what they're doing might clash with the environmental agenda they cherish
almost as much. Hypocrisy. My work is done.
