I'm putting together a comedy routine and am looking for the environmental downside of growing hemp. Non-native species is the only thing I can come up with. Can anyone think of anything else?
uhhh, for a comedy routine? how about... "that shit gives the worst headaches to teenagers who see it growing on the side of the road and stop for taste! uhh, that's just what i've heard anyway '
No the joke is that there are environmentalists who know the downside to everything. Its the contrast between the "hemp is good" meme and the "inspect everything for the lurking damage that will be done to the earth" that is where the humor is to be found (I hope)
ditch the ganja jokes: all been done. Wanna pick on whiny city granolas? have the "test plot" of indistrial hemp for the city of San Verde (I'm wondring if there really is one, modify the play on GREEN as needed). It's next to a community garden, full of delicate, organic heirloom veggies, not meant for San Verde's climate zone. drought strikes. tomatoes wilt and the hemp: boom...takes off like a weed (there's your obligitory pot pun) choking out an artichoke from 1974 or something.
Hmm.."The Eco-Awarness Pro-Am Golf Tournement"....Hmm...Would putting the tourney in Palm Springs be over the top? ?Rescue baby seals from the Canadian hunt, bring them to the states, put them on a treadmill to provide green electricity for the event?
eco awareness and golf?!?!? you twisted man! I like it and of course Palm is over the top... go for it!
"I'm putting together a comedy routine and am looking for the environmental downside of growing hemp." The way some people hype hemp as the best plant for everything, the "joke" could be that eventually it will be the only crop left. So someone in your routine could ask for orange juice for example, and the reply would be "Sorry, don't have any, but here's some hemp juice" etc, etc.
