Cannabis Is An Alternate Resource
Lynn Osburn (biomass energy expert) estimates that 1.5-3.6 million acres of hemp can replace all of Canada’s fossil fuel demands
![Page 16: Cannabis: A Sustainable Alternative](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5681658c550346895dd85646/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cultivation – Efficient, Renewable, Abundant
Versatility allows minimal herbicides / pesticides and actually increases soil quality
Decreases CO2 emissions (carbon sinks)

Illegal Drug Market
Under the table economy
Money flow concentrated prohibition (police) & non-renewable energy sources
Waste of inevitable economy

Rather… Instead invest
money into research, legalization, manufacturing and taxation
less police, less drug dealers / gang violence
massive tax revenues
