At one time Alaska legalized pot and I believe they stopped the legalization because it was a disaster.

I’ve never tried it myself but I’ve always known a lot of people who have.

They think everything is funny, which is probably why humor has suffered so much in media.

A lot of them get fat.

They are not good conversationalists. They say “dig” a lot.

They forget things, like going to the rally to legalize it.

Some become paranoid.

Not only does it take just a few minutes to make a pack, but you know what’s inside too, can choose your tobacco (and yes, here’s a big difference), type of filters you want.. It’s a little messy though, but in California, it runs me about $30 for three cartons, vs buying one for $36 most places.

In the socialist republic of michigan we pay 5.30+ per pack.

Anyway, yes the pure tobacco in RYO has less crap in it. It’s a kinder way to kill one’s self ;)
Seriously, I feel better and save serious dollars while depriving freeloaders of my cash.

Yeah i know here in CA stores are popping up everywhere selling the weed.

God forbid you light a cig you are a criminal,some cities have banned indoor smoking if you are in a rental or in a condo,because of secondhand smoke.
