Carefully.

It's a rather long process, but I'm happy with it. It took a few years of experimenting before I found a process that I was happy with.

“, Despot Mike Bloomberg demanded a list from all landlords of the tenants who smoke in their apartments.”


Is that even legal? You know,that silly old fashioned thing called privacy.

Plenty of freepers support overlooking the Constitution, too. Or are completely ignorant of the limits of federal government.

It’s a DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE.

Nothing in the proposed regulations prevents an ADULT from feeding their addiction 24/7, 365 days a year.

For over 100 years SCOTUS has held that they do have that authority.

SCOTUS has been a main player in the shredding of our Constitution imo. Just like Roberts' ruling on Obamacare.

I do think these regulations will sail through without much opposition. I believe SCOTUS would find them constitutional even if it were challenged. But I personally don't think it's constitutional regardless of what those nine justices say.

More to the point, I am curious if you have a purpose-built structure where you dry and cure your leaves. Also, how long does it take for you to dry and cure your leaves?

And I'd completely support my state of Ohio regulating it as they are granted that authority by the Constitution.

Maybe I’m old fashioned but I thought it was the parents’ responsibility to keep drugs from kids.

If something is legal to sell it’s not the government’s business who buys it.

That roll your own ‘pipe tobacco’ is going to be taxed at the same rate as cigarette tobacco!

And God help you if you grow any in your backyard.

I do. It's legal as church on Sunday.

Feds can pound sand.

We have about a 60 day growing season here, and even in that it is likely to frost.

I don’t even know if it would grow here?

Tobacco can grow almost everywhere. It even grows well indoors.

Trees is about all I can grow here.

I’m in the middle of a woods, stuff don’t get enough sunlight.

Not only is it sad that the public supports it, ...

As I've ranted in similar threads, the problem is that parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the federal government's constitutionally limited powers.

On a related note, I think that even conservative legal professionals, including justices, got indoctrinated in college instead of being taught the federal governments limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood.

requiring health labels that warn users that nicotine is an addictive chemical,

Not all of them contain any nicotine. Is Johnson & Johnson and the rest of big pharma (they are behind the push for all this regulation)required to put such a warning on their "nicotine delivery devices?"

How about caffeine, it's an addictive chemical, and one which is regularly sold to minors - should coffee and sodas have warning labels and age restrictions?

Comparing nicotine addiction to caffeine is a wining issue for vapids. I urge you to keep using it as they are very comparable and your argument resonates with the public.

I urge you to keep utilizing the words and arguments of the left, it works wonders on sites such as this. Keep up the good work.

Before the advent of the Ultra Nanny State tobacco was grown all around here in Wisconsin - I can assure you it is not bothered by short seasons or extreme cold. Now our corn goes into our gas tanks. Idiots rule!

They also would not be allowed to claim their products are safer than other tobacco products.

Of course, they are safer, but we can't let them tell anyone that. Nicotine is addictive, yes, but only minimally harmful, akin to caffeine. It is the 3,000 other chemicals in tobacco cigarettes that give you lung cancer.

So the tobacco companies are behind this. $2 billion of e-cigarette sales are eating into coffin nail sales, so e-cigs must be held up while the tobacco industry re-gears to take over the budding e-cig industry ... using the heavy hand of the state get their way: registration of existing products, lawyers, paperwork, etc. K-Street is out in force for the tobacco industry on this.

Then, when RJR, Lorillard and B&W have an 80% market share, suddenly e-cigs will be safer and they will be called 'mild' and 'light'.

Just watch.
