How much water does it take to grow weed in Arizona?
Something Arizonans hear a lot is that we're running out of water. While the state has enough water to not induce complete panic yet, conservation methods are being put into place and Arizona's long-term water supply is being considered more often by policymakers.
But if water is such a precious resource in Arizona, is it really a smart idea to use it to grow marijuana?
It's becoming a major industry in the state, leading many to joke that maybe a 6th C should be added to the state's mantra: cannabis.
This week on Valley 101, we talk with the director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at ASU, to give us a sense of where our water is being used. Then, a cannabis brand shares how their grow is using as little water as possible.
