Legitimate grow operations here in Colorado use hydroponics, which dramatically reduces water consumption. Five-to-ten gallons a day? Only if the grower doesn't know what he's doing.

Exactly, most real growers could sustain a dozen or more plants on five gallons a week. The OP is just spreading pure unadulterated drug warrior Reefer Madness BS. Par for the course, the entire drug war is based on lies and propaganda. Law enforcement routinely will claim that a single plant can yield ounces and ounces of finished product with a street value of eleventy billion dollars and the media never even questions it.

Don't mistake me as a supporter of legalized marijuana, but the OP is spouting nonsense.
The 5-10 gallon number is Ca fish and game biologists ... vs dope growers... hmmm who has a bigger stake.. dope growers
If you'd bothered to do even the most basic research - like reading the links other posters have provided in this thread - you'd find that these numbers you're waving around did come from growers, or grower-oriented organizations. So when you're telling us that the "5-10 gallon is from CA fish and game biologists," you're not telling the truth. Fish and Game apparently lifted the number directly from a 2010 paper by the Humboldt Growers Association, and the figure of "approximately 6 gallons per plant per day" was apparently based entirely on the water usage of a single 25-plant marijuana farm in Humboldt County in 2010.

Really? They do? Do you suppose you could go find one, please? An actual news source, as you just claimed, rather than the single speculative paper that the rest of us are discussing - and which even the author of the paper admits was based entirely on an estimate derived from a single small farm, for one growing season, using an irrigation method that everyone involved with the study regards as wasteful?
You really want to hang your whole argument on that? Man, you'll cling to anything as long as it supports the point of view you want to believe, won't you?
Good point. I mean, let's face it. Prohibition of cannabis is in its death throes. Several states have some sort of legalization, with more states attempting to get on board. So the "Reefer Madness" crowd is grasping at straws, and really pulling stuff out of their a***es to try to garner support for their failed policies surrounding the war on weed! At some point, given that a growing majority of Americans support legalization (whether they partake or not) it's only a matter of time before the feds cave, and it is removed from schedule I status.
Too much money in it to go full on legal. How will the government explain illegals that are here illegally if they stop drugs from coming across the border. After all, it's Americans with the drug problem.
I believe Trump is correct Mexico is sending us their criminals, these are not poor children. I haven't seen one child with a being too skinny problem. For these people being poor they seem to be eating well.
