>> None of this is to say that weed can't be beneficial.

There might be a non-trivial impact of weed on climate change if weed consumers produce less kids which according to UNESCO is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint.

Depending on which ideology you follow one could also make the case that this happens in first world nation that already have a problem with lower and lower birthrates.
Of course. Because my definition of rich/poor is w.r.t. people around and not some world's mean/median. Many people in first world nations cannot afford to have as much kids as even 40 years ago.
It also reduces road traffic and all manner of queues.
Yeah, some rich people don't get why poor people want to have kids and pollute this planet (according to them). Fortune's list suggests that the median number of kids is 2-3.
