I don't believe I've shown you my ass, speaking of getting a grip. Please try, at least in this instance, to maintain a somewhat more effective grasp on reality.
I guess the price break has increased.
Out here you can get a carton for about $25, $18 for the cheap cigs.
You can't 'evade taxes' if the tax isn't there.
Some people are addicted to booze, some to porn, others to drugs, TV, video games, being control freaks, etc.--there is something for everyone. Some are even 'addicted' to not being addicted to anything, (but all are slaves to the dihydrogen oxide habit).
Humans are remarkably capable of finding something to be obsessive about. Others exploit (tax) that for the purpose of making money.
Alcohol gives a high; should its users go to jail? It's legal. The question is whether it should be.
This is a tobacco smokers board. Are you implying that smoking 10 joints has the same effect as smoking 10 cigarettes? From experience, I assure you, you're wrong. I'll take a 10 cigarette a day smoker all day, driving me home, over a toker that takes 5 hits,.... all day.
You need to take your beef to the alcohol thread.
You were happy to discuss marijuana ... why not alcohol? Why the sudden evasiveness?

No. What words of mine made you suspect I was?
Yikes man, you brought up marijuana. You call my response evasive.
You have a beef with alcohol, take it to the alcohol thread.I'll stay with my original answer.
I'll take a cig smoker all day over a pothead or an alcoholic driving me home.I see no difference, Sorry.
If caught, both suffer major financial distress. People who only smoke cigarettes, don't normally get busted for DUI, unless you can point me to it.

No, Bogey did, and you were happy to discuss it.
It's legal.

But only the pot smoker suffers arrest even if not driving but simply sitting on his couch. I'll ask again the question you still haven't answered: Is that how the law should be?
Thank you. Quit beating up cigarette smokers... you'll only lose. Ask any parent whether they choose a pothead, or cig smoker, to take care of their kid.....the cig smoker wins every time.

What nonsense; I haven't said a word against cigarette smokers.

Still ducking the question, I see. Why am I not surprised?
