// Definition
The ongoing debate between outdoor sun-grown and indoor-grown cannabis, with sun-grown advocates arguing for environmental sustainability (indoor uses 1-2% of cannabis's total energy footprint), natural terpene expression, and terroir, while indoor advocates cite year-round production and environmental control.
// From the Episode
Tom Alexander, an Oregon outdoor farmer, passionately advocated for sun-grown organic in-the-soil cultivation. He argued indoor growing uses enormous energy and that prohibition forced everyone indoors, but legalization should allow a return to outdoor farming. Todd McCormick acknowledged the importance of indoor growing during prohibition while supporting outdoor cultivation post-legalization. Panel discussed how Northern California outdoor growers were struggling with the transition to legal markets.
