Ok, I don't smoke, but I'd like to blow off some steam.
I don't object to tobacco smoking, HOWEVER: - The Red Russians banned smoking right off the bat when they took over. Later on, so did Hitler.
- As long as your smoke doesn't teach my poor COPD'd lungs, it should be your right. Little rights get taken away, bigger ones follow.
- Many people who dis the tobacco industry, want cannabis legalized for smoking, when there is a government-controlled, FDA-approved pill with the same active ingredient in it.
- What about people smoking legalized cannabis around kids? There are more toxins there than in tobacco.
The climate, soil, species, additives all have an effect on the amount of THC and other toxins in marijuana. Pill form gives a controlled, uniform potency without the ill effects of all that smoke. We need to think of the elderly with compromised respiration, and the innocent children who may be the victim of long-term effects from someone else's high.
So why are people so down on tobacco, yet insist on smokable marijuana!?! I just don't get it. I also wonder how OSHA feels about the toxins in a pot-filled room? How about people using it and operating heavy machinery? How do they monitor if the stuff hasn't been dusted with another illegal drug?!? Anyone else feel this way?
