Which as explained in this podcast, in detail, is 100% bollox.

I'm not sure which RNZ article Fowlie means. But assuming this is true, either Bishop (tobacco industry lobbyist) doesn't know what he's talking about, or he's blatantly lying to the public.

I wonder if hemp could be used to make biodegradable hay bail wrap for farms, to replace the huge amount of soft plastic they use every year.

"A large federally-funded study coming out of [US]America, published in Nature, 'marijuana users have enhanced cognitive abilities' ... [they] analysed brain imaging and cognitive data, from 37929 people. The cannabis consumers consistently outperformed the non-users in the cognitive tests. They had brain network characteristics typically associated with younger brains."

He's talking about action on climate change and renewable energy in particular here, but this sums up our political situation in general. Extraction-as-usual can not continue much longer without risking total social breakdown. Just look at what's happening in the US.
