If you read the op and the link your questions would be answered.
the op complains that the "war" against tobacco smokers and not against pot smokers is hypocritical.
I pointed out that the hypocracy goes further, people claiming to be enviornmentalists but using thousands of watts of grow lights to grow marijuana.
I worked a grow where the pg&e bill ran 6000 a month. Cigarette smoking was not allowed anywhere on the property. Pot smoking was required. The only way I found around it was to roll spliffs and mixing my tobacco with my pot.The owners were fanatics about recycling. They were also fanatics about conserving electricity in the house, but that was because their electric service was already overloaded from running 26000 watts of lights, ozone generators and who knows what else.
Additionally, the greedy growers had taken over the entire town. pushing farmers and industry out.
While I was there a little research revealed two items of interest;
1)three counties in california use more power than all the other counties west of the mississippi river combined
2) Humboldt county california has more reported missing people than the rest of the state
the hypocracy runs real deep up there in the emerald triangle.
I found the entire situation hypocritical, especially the power usage
