2,000 Pounds of Marijuana Turned Into Electricity
 

Florida: Approximately 2,000 pounds of marijuana seized in raids last year has been fed into a waste-to-energy incinerator. 72 people faced charges as a result of 62 drug seizures.

While the smoke was released away from where anyone could get high from it the crop was by no means wasted. According to Recycled Energy Development VP John Wilson a ton of marijuana will supply power to "40,000 100-watt light bulbs for an hour".

people may catch on that marijuana would be a great alternative energy source, especially for oil.

Disinformation for all, divide and conquer!

  @um everyone posted so far  
 
yah its the carbon monoxide emissions that can later be condensed into a combustable gas too.

anything organic has carbon, most non-organic matterials have carbon as well.

you can burn all of these and convert the emissons into a combusttable gas

these devices are called gasifers
youtube it find more eviidence

they've beeen around sincec pre-ww2. when diesel and petrol were rationed people were forced to find alternative means to power their vehicles.

yes, this gas will power your car.

PM me forr guiide to convert your car to run on a gasifier (like the mr. fusion in the back to the future movies)

4000 kwh seems like a waste compared to how many people it could get high for one day, or even how many days it could get one person high.

  Stupid.  
 
They could've burned a bunch of brush no one cared about and got the same result. How is this news again?

You should check out some of the research done by Nikola Tesla in the early 1900's he made an electric car that was powered by a simple alternator that got its source from a current provided by cutting the earth lines of magnetic flux.
