    Green on Green: Colorado Ranchers Create Zero-Carbon Footprint Pot Farm

    Rob and Linda Trotter looked around at their TNT Ranch, at the fertile soil, at the snowmelt water that starts at 12,500 feet above sea level and flows to them before it goes anywhere else, and decided they should grow something.

    And so they launched Pot Zero, which they say are the most environmentally conscious marijuana products in Colorado and beyond. Their outdoor grow operation creates no carbon footprint.

    “We are blessed with fantastic mountain loam soil, intense ultraviolet light because of our 8,200-foot elevation and water that comes directly to our property from a pristine, 12,500-foot mountain,” Rob Trotter said.

    Cannabis And Infertility: It’s a longstanding complaint that, when it comes to medical research, men’s bodies still represent a sort of norm against which women are considered a hard to understand deviation. The field of medical cannabis is no exception.

    According to a 2013 literature review, the role of the cannabinoids in women’s reproductive health “has been poorly studied.” That’s despite the fact that we knew all the way back in 1973 that cannabinoid blood levels spike during ovulation and that a 2009 study established that the entire endocannabinoid system (ECS) is present and quietly active in the ovaries.
