  • Marijuana and hemp are very different in that way. Marijuana cultivation is often done indoors so pests and things are tightly controlled, and the plants may be grown hydroponically and have to be very productive at growing tightly bunched and sensitive flowers. For hemp, long stringy plants with lots of fiber that grow fast and are much less sensitive, and things like the cleanliness and potential for mold contamination etc doesn’t really matter much. I don’t have any specific stats or anything but I can definitely see how marijuana may use a lot more water.















  • But how do we know humans are acting on an actual selfless decision and not instinctual behaviour? There is some evidence that, in some situations at least, our body/instinct can act first and we just end up rationalizing that we wanted to perform those actions to ourselves, as we are performing them. But that’s a bit of a thought experiment, the truth is, it’s very hard to know. And we can show empathy in very abstracted situations as well, where instinct is probably less of a factor.






  • Like yes, but, the actual hard part of aquarium fish keeping isn’t really related to the fish themselves. It’s the water… nature has already prepared this biologically active, clean, ample supply of water for the air dropped trout. Replicating that in a tiny glass box without at least a surface understanding of the chemistry involved can be very difficult. But you should also learn how to supply an animal with the proper environment before you get one.
