Potheads will live past a nuclear bomb

when they do drop them they wont be everywhere, just the strategic points. I think people give the planet too little credit on recovering.. Chernobyl disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


So our beloved grass will live on.. as for people who knows..

Though they cleared the top soil in some areas its shown what the fallout zones will be like, so gave us some insight to what would happen if the bombs drop

toastedfox, you got it right on the money there. The whole nuclear holocaust thing is in fact inflated on purpose, whole world extinction, etc. The potential is there but in reality it would be less than anticipated. Radiation is based on half-life, the fallout that is dropped downwind is proportional to distance from the blast. If it was further than say 100 miles away, we would stand an excellent fighting chance, especially if adequate steps were taken as I mentioned above. Missiles would most likely not be used to deliver a nuclear payload and this is why; as soon as a launch is detected anywhere in the world, satellites will immediately track this. If those missiles were launched from known nuclear silos, code red procedures would immediately go into effect. The intended target would be established as well as the point of origin. Other world superpowers understand that such action would naturally warrant a counter-attack of equal or great proportions, mutually assured destruction. This is where the dangerous part comes into play. Russia's nuclear arsenals are rusting away from the cold war days, those missiles are being dismantled. You can rest assured that people are interested in this. In other country's things are run differently, they may not be so critical on paperwork. Truckloads of humans are transported from mexico probably daily, it could just as easily be a nuclear device. A nuclear device of this sort obviously cannot be the size of an intercontinental ballistic missile. It would have to be condensed down into a more sizeable form ie "suitcase" bombs. These devices could simply go off without warning and wreak havok. Determining the origin of the enemy would be a huge problem for intelligence until someone put out a grainy video of some terrorist group reading a statement, and that would be all we have. With such a scenario I just described there would be far far more panic and social collapse than damage from the device itself. Nukes delivered by terrorists would be smaller in power, destruction, and number of devices detonated. We could probably expect the number to be less than 10. If there were less than 10 nuclear detonations in the united states, very few people would die of radiation in comparison to the number who would live with little to no ill radiation effects. As time passes after the detonations, the radius of non-habitable, dangerous zones will continue to shrink. Today the former site of cheryinoble? is now flourishing with life. The nearby towns were evacuated and never repopulated. Nature has know virtually taken back over the towns and vegetation covers almost everything. Life will go on past a nuclear disaster, as long as people are informed and prepared they will too.

There are no hard and fast rules on radiation in the fallout. There could be virtually none and you could plant crops right on the land. For all purposes the united states would most likely be CLEANER overall. All cars would be scarce as fuel would be. Factories would all be shut down and toxic dumping would stop, all destructive man made activities. Radiation from fallout is based on the rain, which pulls down radioactive particles. If you placed a tarp over a particular area of garden, that soil would be able to be farmed very quickly. Watch the show "Jericho" the writers know their shit about radioactive defense. Its very possible you might not have to take any precaution from fallout at all.

did a lot of research on the subject for a paper in college I'm quite familiar with the preps for preparing for fallout. I just happen to even keep some iodine handy (lived in a town that had trains with occasional nuclear payloads come through so I kept it at home just in case)

lol I think I would.. the house I'm looking at buying has a fallout shelter.. lol I'm like score GROW ROOM! more then anything else but with how much a I love on my plants it would be like *LOUD BOOMING THUD* "Wut was that?" while I'm just working on my garden xD

I see mushroom clouds rising in the distance as I'm taking a bong rip. Unless you have a generator toastedfox, you may have to take up outdoor. It'll be pretty cool though because I'm sure the authorities will have their hands full with other things.
