Long term solution to save Haiti? Legalise marijuana in the US!

[elehhhhna]

It's a fast cash crop, it grows like, well, a weed -- and one must assume the Caribbean has the proper climate for it.

1. Not cool. n/t

[anonymous171]

2. Yeah but can you live off of it?

[defendandprotect]

5. I think you can even make food from hemp or marijuana ... ???

[happy_liberal]

7. seeds are one of the best protein sources available

Not to mention Hemp being used for fabric, paper etc.
Is it illegal in Haiti because they should already be growing it for themselves.

13. What a tragedy capitalism has been for nature ---

and for all humanity --

Thank you for the information --

3. If you think for one minute that RJ Reynolds is going to let Hatian farmers make the money

You haven't been paying attention.

4. Haiti does not have a good climate for the kind of marijuana Americans like to consume.

It's that simple.

6. i could adapt

11. Hey, we can adjust.

8. Haiti's soil isn't ready for such a crop

In part because of what Haiti used to export to the US, charcoal.

Haiti stripped its countryside of virtually all of its trees to feed the charcoal demand here in the US. All those charcoal briquettes that your parents burned up in the back yard when your were a kid, they came from Haiti.

As a result the Haitian soil has eroded into the ocean, taking precious nutrients with it, leaving behind a soil that is only fit for growing weeds and sliding down hillsides during hurricanes.

9. You don't need soil to grow cannabis.

;)

But you do need good water.

12. "...leaving behind a soil that is only fit for growing weeds"

which is exactly what hemp is.

15. +1000% . . .

[ShortnFiery]

:smoke: :thumbsup:

14. Disgusting to advance your personal agenda on other people's suffering pal.

[elehhhhna]

16. my personal agenda in posting this was to point out

an obvious and feasible solution, pal. Thanks, anyway.

[ddeclue]

17. no it was to get high legally.. thanks anyway.

[elehhhhna]

18. lol you have no idea, Kreskin

[Oregone]

19. How would growing enough weed to last years in 3 months in my basement help Haiti?

[Travis_0004]

20. If it was legal they could not compete

We have better machines, and better technology.

Also, people always complain about jobs being outsourced, so why should this be any different.
If you are for jobs in America, you should be for weed being grown in America (I would be). Plus, I'm sure drug lords would control production in Haiti if it was profitable.

21. You could send them your extra.
