Smoke on this! Cannabis plants could help fight climate change because they absorb carbon dioxide more than TWICE as effectively as trees

• Hemp plants capture up to 16 tons of greenhouse gas annually, while trees suck up about six tons
• Experts say this ability could help humans fight climate change
• With approximately 50 million acres of hemp, a couple hundred million tons of carbon per year on that acreage
• These plants also grow faster and need less water than other crops
