Not much sense in dropping one on antarctica. We call dibs.
Yes it would burn, no it would not have much if any affect.
They burn large amounts of pot all the time and the smoke raises into the atmosphere and falls over a wide area.We need to make sure it’s really good pot. Drop some off at my house and I’ll let you know.
Is it still hotboxing if it’s a globe? 🤔
this is the best plan for world peace I’ve seen so far. aint nobody else got any better ideas 🤷♂️
That is more or less the scenario of Serenity. The firefly movie.
Except at the core of the weed block is a ball of hypermeth if you survive that long.

Interestingly directly below that post with my current lemmy sorting:
I’ve learned the hard way that second hand pot smoke give me intense headaches. Vomit-inducing skull-crushing migraines.
I leave the vicinity whenever I smell it. Our world is turning into a druggie-topia and I don’t wanna be here for it.
And how much are you asking in funding?
make mexico pay for it
Someone elect this guy president of something! If they can make rambling demented tweets in the wee hour, well, sky’s the limit!
…i got 5 on it…
Grab your 40, let’s get keyed
I got some Phillies in a drawer.
Okay, but 119,000,000 lbs is no small feat to get into the atmosphere
Orbital farming stocks just rose 4000%
Makes more sense than the damn data centers…
Have you tried a trebuchet
About 50 million kg, 50k tonnes, 500 starship launches. Their most generous estimates of a couple million dollars a launch, call it around a billion dollars…
We just need to find a way to power cars with it
But 17M would be easy
This is how Ali G brought about world peace
Booyakasha!
My favorite part of this is the idiotic use of hashtags

Question:
How much CO2 does this produce?
The plant grows pretty quickly as I understand it, and pulls CO2 from the atmosphere as it does so, using the carbon in its structure, and releasing the oxygen. This carbon will bond with oxygen from the air as it burns high in the atmosphere, so there’s probably no net release beyond what is needed in the process of growing the plants, making the blocks, transporting them to altitude, and feeding everyone who gets the munchies afterwards, but it would “move” the CO2 higher up. I’ve no idea what the implications of that are.
Ooh, it’s shitty math time!
Alright, so let’s assume it’s seven 17-ton bricks with an average THC of 20% - that’s what most legal states use to decide flower/concentrate equivalencies, and it’s easy to work with.
According to Google, burning one ton of industrial hemp produces 1.6 tons of CO2. Let’s assume that this industrial hemp contains no THC, and is fully converted into CO2 when it burns.
For fun, let’s also calculate how much THC comes out the other end of this. In the plant, THC forms as non-psychoactive THCa, which breaks down into psychoactive THC. In the process, it gets about 12% lighter.
So, seven 17-ton bricks of weed start out as about 24 tons of THCa and 95 tons of industrial hemp equivalent. When burned, this would become about 152 tons of CO2, but only 21 tons of THC.
When you say “according to google” you’re not referring to the AI are you?
…Sort of?
Ngl, I checked the AI answer hoping that it would be wrong when I started opening links. Unfortunately, the first handful of actual search results all gave about the same number.
Mostly though, I just meant “I checked like three websites that Google brought me to, but I’m not going to bother listing them” :P
You have no credibility with me, slopper.
… But they did the good thing and didn’t slop.
“Ngl, I checked the AI answer”
I interpreted that to mean that they checked the AI answer that google sticks at the top of every search, which is unfortunately best practice if you’re not tech-savvy enough to use DDG + a pile of Firefox extensions to help filter out the mass produced slop websites.
What with the absolute hamstringing of search engines, going to the sources of the AI suggested answer is often the only way to get directly relevant information to your question out of google. It’s for sure slopper behavior to just accept the answer without checking, but that didn’t sound like what happened. Maybe I’m just projecting my own behavior onto them, though.
A little less than 17 million pounds each block
Sure? The oxygen in CO2 comes from the air when burning, that’s about 8/11th of the atoms weight. I’ve no clue how what the percentage of carbon atoms in weed is though, but I would assume it’s the majority of the weight.
Nope it was a complete guess
You mean 17 times 7.
Yes exactly
At least 3, I think.
