It's green...but not.

Awesome story about how much illegal marijuana production hurts the environment in California. This story is amazing not only for the environmental parts but for the technology behind these illegal grow operations. Large scale water pumping, clear cutting hillsides for grow patches and 1Kw generators for grow lights with 10,000 gallon diesel tanks? That's insane!

Maybe rabid environmental activism will finally accomplish something on the legalization of pot. Does anyone still believe it should lumped in with narcotics like cocaine instead of something like tobacco or alcohol? You could eliminate 90% of the violence surrounding marijuana production, use and sales by turning it into a highly regulated cash crop.
