Nothing the average marijuana smoker hasn't been putting up with all the time. Probably with a lot of tobacco smokers' blessings. Maybe when enough cig smokers' ox's get gored, they'll understand ALL prohibition is wrong.

See, what I don't understand is:  when I smoke my cigarettes I don't get all wobbly in the head and I am still able to drive my vehicle without thinking I am floating on air.

You know drugs are illegal.  Drugs implies to me "anything that relieves pain and alters the mind into believing there is no pain, therefore, the mind and body feel good."

I don't get this effect from my cigarettes.  So, how can anyone lump regular cigarette smokers in with pot heads?  I just don't understand the connection one bit.

I think he was referring (or reefering) to pot, not PCP.

If you don't thing nicotine is a powerful drug, try to quit. Ohh, You smoke the nicotine-free brand...

I am an ex-smoker of both kinds. Quitting cigarettes was, by far, the harder as the drug is, by far, more addictive.

And soon enough, so will cigarettes be. And maybe, just maybe, you will then better understand the connection, when someone says to you befuddled and patronizing at the same time, "You know cigarettes are illegal."
