Plants do absorb some radiation from contamination by airborne radiation or from the soil after contaminated dust has settled on it. Marijuana would be similar if grown outside, however I believe some is grown in indoor warm rooms, this should be clear. Not a good idea to smoke something that is contaminated though, probably more harmful than eating some food with similar contamination, as that would pass through you fairly quickly whilst if absorbed into the lungs it could stay there some time (I am not medically qualified, just giving my thoughts)

What do you know about nuclear plants?
Nuclear Plants give off radiation, however when some of the nuclear plants in Japan were destroyed, some of the radiation did travel here but the radiation it sent here isn't strong enough to do any damage :)
What are the causes of radiation pollution?
Radon gas, nuclear power plants
Why is radiation being created?
Its being created because nuclear power plants are giving of to much radiation
What has the author Donald N Rasch written?
Donald N Rasch has written: 'Summary of occupational radiation exposure at nuclear power plants 1969 through 1977' -- subject(s): Environmental aspects, Environmental aspects of Nuclear power plants, Nuclear power plants, Radiation dosimetry
Is nuclear fuel safe to use?
yes... nuclear fuel actually gives off less radiation than average nuclear plants.
Why there was leakage of radiation in japan?
Because an huge earthquake happend and it cused the nuclear power plants to explode so radiation came out
What can be made from boron?
Boron is used to make alloy as Boron steel which is used to protect radiation from nuclear reactor in Nuclear plants.
What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?
Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.
What are the workers at nuclear power plants called?
I don't think it is much different to those working in conventional power plants, but one additional type of duty is Radiation Health Physics, which is not needed except on nuclear plants
How does nuclear energy affect the human?
I assume you mean how does nuclear radiation affect the human body. Nuclear energy as used in nuclear power plants has no effect normally as the radiation is well contained. However if you want to know about the effect of radiation on the body, see the link below
What does the sun do in are lives?
The sun produces a great deal of energy and radiation as a result of the nuclear fission occurring within it. You can think of the sun as a giant, very old nuclear explosion. That energy is captured by organisms and plants in particular through photosynthesis, and these plants create oxygen and absorb C02. If it wasn't for the sun, we wouldn't have life on earth. It is also a necessary source of Vitamin D.
What are people doing about the nuclear meltdowns?
The nuclear power plants are filled with water to keep the atoms from splitting too fast inside the nuclear rod. Because of the earthquake in Japan, the nuclear power plants lost a lot of water in them, which is making the atoms split too fast. Radiation is now leaking from the plants, so crews are going in and dumping seawater into the nuclear plants to cool down the rods.
