I hate to rain on this parade but it absorbs uv-b radiation? Unfortunately this is only the stuff that makes us tan
not the stuff which could fry our organs. That stuff is still going to be a real bitch. The guerilla growers would have an excellent shot, browndirt you'll be set homie. Radioactive fallout is slightly overstated in that a couple bombs would contaminate the entire US, not going to happen. Watch the TV show "Jericho" they are very accurate with their portrayals of such a scenario with fallout, etc. The growers would be set for a variety of other reasons. The same facilities we would use for a decked out grow room would be very effective in filtering radioactive fallout particles. That sick ass huge carbon filter fan could be modified to run backwards and give clean air. That infared metallic foil you guys might have? That will help dampen radiation as well. Basically every single thing we would have for cannabis would have just as much use post nuclear attack. In all serious terms with a small scale attack such as terrorism or what not (Under 50) nuclear bombs in the united states our biggest concern will not be radiation but riots and starvation. Our carefully constructed system of distribution and transport systems would almost certainly be destroyed. Those who have the knowledge to grow strong healthy plants of any nature will instantly be invaluable. Its the marijuana growers, older ladies at gardening club, and the farmers who would be the heroes. Thankfully I'm developing such options as we speak. Calculated, safe distances from major cities and easy access to growing locations for food or pot. Do you think the american dollar will be worth anything more than paper when the fucking apocalypse happens? It is barely staying afloat these days, haha. Some buds would be an extremely good means of barter and trade, it will always be worth something to quite a few people. I know for myself I'll be watching the mushroom clouds rise from afar smoking a joint and thinking, "Bout that time eh' chaps?"..."raught oh" Hopefully I'll be in my wilderness retreat with every possible strain of seed I can collect, along with nutritional food of course. When that day comes when our entire government would be trying to recover, I highly highly doubt that marijuana eradication funds would be on that important agenda. Rippers would still be an issue, but I know that I wouldn't have to worry about those damn pot choppers anymore hahaha.
