MDMA was legal through the early 80s, but I don't think they've done enough research yet. It seems like it stays in your spinal fluid. And it's related to methamphetamine, so that could be why what happened to your friend occurred.

Trump donor Rebekah Mercer gave $1 million towards the research of MDMA in veterans with PTSD.

I’ll never go back to smoking. But on my death bed, I will smoke a pack and eat all the buttered popcorn I want. :)

I still have some of Grand dad’s pipe tobacco that I keep in an old, tight humidor. I like to put a pinch in his old ashtray and light it with a torch. It has a great smell.

A lot of additives were added to cigarettes for our safety.

Fresh tobacco is still good. still haven’t found my pipe.

“I’m astounded at the depths the tobacco industry will go to pursue profits at the expense of countless lives,” he said.

So sorry about that; my arthritic fingers often hit the wrong key and I don’t catch the flub in time. :-)

[DoodleBob]

It was a perfectly cromulent flub!

Second-hand smoke dangers have been extremely exaggerated for decades—but if you want government funding you know what the study has to say.

It is “science” at its worst.

I always tell stories about my grandmother—smoked one cigarette a day after dinner all of her adult life.

She had zero serious health problems her entire life—and died “of old age” at age....

106.

She had an attitude about life that I try to emulate—from time to time I share her secrets.....

We really need to post using more erudite, well educated vocabulary on FR!
