Okay, but 119k lbs is no small feat to get into the atmosphere
About 50 million kg, 50k tonnes, 500 starship launches. Their most generous estimates of a couple million dollars a launch, call it around a billion dollars…
But 17M would be easy

Booyakasha!
My favorite part of this is the idiotic use of hashtags

Grab your 40, let’s get keyed
I got some Phillies in a drawer.
Question:
How much CO2 does this produce?
At least 3, I think.
Ooh, it’s shitty math time!
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.
When you say “according to google” you’re not referring to the AI are you?
A little less than 17 million pounds each block
Sure? The oxygen in CO2 comes from the air when burning, that’s about 8/11th of the atoms weight. I’ve no clue how what the percentage of carbon atoms in weed is though, but I would assume it’s the majority of the weight.
Nope it was a complete guess
You mean 17 times 7.
Yes exactly
And how much are you asking in funding?
make mexico pay for it
