California lawmakers yesterday called for the regulation of marijuana farms to protect stream flows and help fish species like coho salmon and steelhead, which face possible extinction as the state's drought rages on. In an informational hearing of the California State Senate Joint Committee of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Chairman Mike McGuire (D) of Healdsburg argued that a contingent of pot farmers in the state have disregarded the environment in favor of personal profit. "Marijuana is literally sucking rivers dry," McGuire said. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/california-s-50-000-pot-farms-are-sucking-rivers-dry/ http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com

the water is being sucked to feed cattle. there is a much more tremendous waste of water to eat meat than grow pot lmao. also cows related CO2 emissions count for over 50% of the overall pollution while cannabis removes CO2 faster than many other plant life. suck it industry

regulation is ok. do you know that 15% of all water in California is used to water alfalfa? then about 85% of the alfalfa is shipped to china. what a waste of water.
