"I believe this would badly affect tourism."

Au contraire, mon FReeper.

I think the tourist of 2024 could fly in with a duffle bag of cartons of nails, and trade those for amazing discounts on lodging and recreation.

Me? I'd say charter a boat from the West Coast, fill it with a container of smokes. Give the captain and crew a healthy tip, and move the cargo once you get there.

But I get seasick. Not for me.

Cue the "mental disorder" for Leftists...

On the other hand, this may generate a cottage industry of household tobacco growers.

They started paying Maryland farmers to stop growing tobacco a long time ago.

But I think it’s still legal to farm it; and in most places legal to grow some for personal use.

I’ve never smoked marijuana, don’t know what it’s like, don’t think it’s good for people - (my father, who once smoked some down in Texas in the late 1940s, said he didn’t know why anybody would want that if there was a beer or good shot of whiskey around).

But I like the occasional tobacco smoke, and would like to learn to grow it. And I think it’s important to save all plants in case we don’t yet know the extent of their properties.

Au contraire, mon FReeper.

As the coiner of that phrase, please allow me to offer a slight correction:

It's, 'Au contraire, mon freep.'
