Doesn't cannabis also clean the air by removing large amounts of carbon dioxide - the main culprit behind global warming?

 

It is really a shame what small minded people have done to destroy the reputation of this "Super Plant".

Some day cannabis prohibition is going to held up as an extreme example of what happens when emotion and religion take precedence over reason and science. Once science and research are allowed to experiment with this plant, all of its amazing benefits and uses will be rediscovered and people will question why it was ever banned in the first place. The truth will set it free.

No, Cannabis cleans the air through phytoremediation storing impurities, VOCs, etc.

It breathes through photosynthesis CO2 to O2 and respire O2 to CO2. Root zones respire to convert sugars to food releasing CO2. Seems like a zero sum gain, until you realize decaying plant matter also releases CO2. Are the plants trying to kill us. I think they are and we should kill them.

The Sun happens to be the main culprit behind global warming.
