Cannabis Fumes Blamed for Cloud Eclipse Obstruction, Cornell Study Finds
A recent report from Cornell University sheds light on an unexpected factor contributing to the cloud cover during the April 8 eclipse: cannabis fumes. Released on April 20 (a notable date for cannabis enthusiasts), the report reveals insights into the abnormal climate conditions that led to increased cloud presence during the rare celestial event.
According to researchers from Cornell's seeds and stem department, the atmosphere was laden with 420 metric tons of F.U., a chemical compound associated with marijuana. Lead researcher Maria Juana Canne-Abis humorously remarked on the exceptionally high levels, drawing a comparison to a certain individual's recreational activities.
The spike in smoking activity has been linked to the recent opening of a cannabis dispensary in the City of Ithaca, as part of statewide efforts to regulate cannabis use. Interestingly, other states in the eclipse's path, such as Texas, did not experience similar effects from weed fumes.
Critics, including Supa High, president of the Cornell Republicanz, attribute the phenomenon to what they perceive as a liberal agenda promoting excessive cannabis use. However, not all reactions were negative, with some students embracing the spirit of communal enjoyment by sharing blunts during the eclipse watching event.
One student, seen distributing blunts atop Libe Slope, expressed a desire to elevate the collective experience of witnessing the eclipse. However, not everyone was pleased with the festivities. President Pollack expressed disappointment at being excluded from the smoking session, highlighting concerns about university protocol and her lack of involvement.
In summary, the Cornell study highlights an unconventional yet significant factor in the cloud cover during the eclipse, prompting discussions about the intersection of environmental factors and recreational activities.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: How did cannabis fumes contribute to cloud cover during the eclipse? A: The Cornell study found that an unusually high concentration of cannabis-related chemicals in the atmosphere, attributed to increased smoking activity, contributed to cloud formation during the eclipse.
Q: Why were some states unaffected by the presence of weed fumes during the eclipse? A: While Cornell researchers linked the cloud cover to cannabis fumes, other factors such as weather patterns and local regulations may have influenced variations in the impact across different regions.
Q: How did students react to the findings of the study? A: Responses varied, with some students embracing the communal aspect of sharing blunts during the eclipse event, while others expressed concern about the environmental implications and university protocol.
