Ok, lets cut down all the rainforests then [continue cutting them]. Who cares that rainforests are home to almost two thirds of the world's medicines. It won't affect the quality of air, it wont affect the soil, the climate, the water quality and the animals, plants and insects that depend on trees. Trees are just for a show, marijuana plants are far more important to support life than stupid trees. Algae is all we need, algae is more important than trees. After all, marijuana plants keep the soil stronger and healthier than trees can ever do. :rolleyes: |
No, I disagree with you completely. Trees are important. |

I agree also... trees are very important. I have no idea what Magnetonium has against trees.
Grow more hemp, save the ozone! |

But you said that hemp is more important than trees :conf: |

How good is growing more hemp when many trees get cut down. Mature trees are capable of stabilizing carbon much better than hemp can, though hemp has many good uses as well.Just not very correct to compare hemp to trees when it comes to environment health.
Indeed, that was an old tree. Natural causes. |

The death of an important tree should make people feel more alarmed and concerned about the issue of deforestation. |
...but there's no connection since the tree died of natural causes...
Besides, if you're going to make any connection, you might want to point out the number of fires started by people.
B.C. looses and gains thousands of acres of trees every year so there's no reason to be alarmist on this one tree (as sad as it is). |

You can't smoke trees. Case closed. |

Actually, I just quoted the first paragraph, because I really didn't understand the link between this one tree and global warming :p
I was just saying how ironic is that several of these magnificent tress have been lost to weather recently ... as many more are getting cut.

You should see the devastation in Stanly Park. I was there last weekend and what used to be a solid forest has huge clearings now that were pounded down by the wind a year ago.
I read a paper on deforestation that found that forests filter out some 1000 tones of carbon / square km / year. (can't find the link though :( )
And yes, the tree did make a sound, the whole city has been invited to the funeral too :p |

Tell you what, you go do a few minutes of research on the cubic densities of oxygen put out by certain species of trees, then compare it to the oxygen output of hemp.
NOW, take a look at the growing cycles, longevity, and propagation of that tree vs that of hemp.
Come back to us with the conclusion please. Then let's smoke. |

Hahah ... once again you're comparing trees to plans. Mature trees have bigger leaf area for bigger absorption of the same greenhouse gases. They take up more carbon. And on average hemp doesnt live longer than trees - its a plant. It is much thinner with much smaller leaf size and intake area.
Of course some rare trees are inferior to hemp, but overall trees stabilize more carbon, support more life and soil and have more benefits to the environment than hemp does. To drug-addicted humans, its opposite. But you wont be to survive without trees which are the backbone of the biosphere. In short term, in the growing season hemp surely does outperform trees, just like most plants do, but at the end of season, it suffers the fate of most plants ... plus, in this case, its smoked up and all the gases are back into the atmosphere. Imagine cutting down the entire rainforest and replacing it with hemp - get the idea? Havent you heard of the term that describes forests as "Lungs of the Earth"? Not hemp, sorry. The only advantage of hemp is short term - it grows faster than trees, but it doesnt reach the potential to that of trees (and with shorter life span). Hemp doesnt support much life either (other than perhaps breeding grounds for mosquitos), and just suiting fine to the human desires and the cravings of a weed user.
Only a fool would say that plants stabilize carbon better and take up more greenhouse gases than trees do. Rainforests that produce much of the breathing oxygen are not made up of hemp, they're FORESTS, aka trees.
The amazing hemp (check out the massive size of the plant:

OK, you dont need to be a genius to figure out which one intakes more greenhouse gases .. and trees have longevity advantages, too. Does a hemp have a lifespan of 50-100 years? |

All of your baseless ad hominems aside, you didn't even take a second to research what I asked you to research. :( |
