Alright, so let’s assume it’s seven 17-ton bricks with an average THC of 20% - that’s what most legal states use to decide flower/concentrate equivalencies, and it’s easy to work with.
According to Google, burning one ton of industrial hemp produces 1.6 tons of CO2. Let’s assume that this industrial hemp contains no THC, and is fully converted into CO2 when it burns.
For fun, let’s also calculate how much THC comes out the other end of this. In the plant, THC forms as non-psychoactive THCa, which breaks down into psychoactive THC. In the process, it gets about 12% lighter.
So, seven 17-ton bricks of weed start out as about 24 tons of THCa and 95 tons of industrial hemp equivalent. When burned, this would become about 152 tons of CO2, but only 21 tons of THC.
Ooh, it’s shitty math time!

When you say “according to google” you’re not referring to the AI are you?
