It produces much more biodiesel-type fuel than corn for a lot less money. Zdonczyk sharply disagreed with Thornton over marijuana. “It would seem to me that there are all kinds of medical alternatives-you talked about alternative energy-I would think there are all kind of other alternatives to ease the pain and suffering of people who are insistent upon using marijuana as their form of relief.
