Said it before many times to legalization libertarians— have several friends in the tobacco industry that told me and anyone who will listen, that there are warehouses of aging bales of marijuana in Central America. The warehouses are owned by RJ Reynolds, Lorillard,American Tobacco (the Dukes) and others.
So “legalization” for the benefit of a new taxable cash crop to support the continuing liberal socialist agenda..just like the demonrat controlled CA legislature is advocating to “save” CA.... is all ready to go.

Camels made with hashish, no filter. Great. More cancer causing natural ingredients in the crop then that found in natural Nicotiniana (or proprietary additives and flavors). Lord, save us from the pestilence of Progressives and Statists.

By that logic, we should ban every taxable commodity.

So government should ban that which is unhealthy? Tobacco? Bacon double cheeseburgers? Staying up late?

Lord, save us from the pestilence of Progressives and Statists.

Illegality of marijuana is the quintessential statist policy.

If it were legal, it would be cheap. You could cook with it or make tea if you were concerned about lung problems from smoke. So, this is a circular argument--laws make it expensive, because it's expensive it's much more affordable to smoke it, smoke is bad for you, so it can't be legalized.

I hate to break it to you, but aging bales of marijuana are just as worthless as aging bales of tobacco. The stuff goes stale pretty quickly, so I would really doubt anybody that told me corporations were investing money in planting and harvesting it now just to have inventory spoil on the shelf, intentionally.
