Tobacco Smoke

[Marijuanderful]

Tobacco smoking alone kills more people each year than AIDS, heroin, crack, cocaine, alcohol, car accidents, fire and murder combined. Tobacco smokers have ten times the lung cancer of non-smokers, twice the heart disease, and are three times more likely to die of heart disease if they develop it. One in seven deaths in the United States is caused by cigarette smoke, and while 7 million dollars a day promotes the tobacco business, it is estimated that the cigarette industry needs about 3,000 new smokers a day to replace those who quit or die each day from smoking. Not only is tobacco non-fibrous, non-edible, and soil-depleting, but it is grown by law in soil fertilized with radioactive materials. U.S. government studies have shown that smoking a â??pack-and-a half of tobacco cigarettes per day over just one year is the equivalent to your lungs of some 300 chest X-rays, but while an X-ray dissipates its radioactivity instantly, tobacco has a radioactive half-life that will remain active in the lungs for 21.5 years. No radioactivity exists in Cannabis. Tobacco smoking is far and away the number one cause of preventable death in the United States today, yet it is totally legal, and even receives the highest U.S. government farm subsidies of any agricultural product in America

This was taken from the Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer, my question is if tobacco is grown by law in soil fertilized with radioactive materials; if weed is ever finally legalized, wouldnt they just take the same approach as they did with tobacco, thus causing a potentially bigger problem than we have now?

[Mr.Whitey]

Eh, I'd like to see the actual studies, radioactive properties in the soil? Sounds a little far fetched. I mean out governments hate us but that much?

[orangeman]

I never did like tobacco, if you ask me I compare it to salvia..which I really dont think too much of.

[cannabis campbell]

Tobacco tastes like shit i hate it but im addicted to it, so hard to get off.

[Marijuanderful]

i really dont think people understand the extent to which our government goes to create such a demonic image for our country, as well as to ensure that our future is dominated by mindless authoritarianism that has been getting worse since the marijuana tax act started the war on drugs in 1937... and not only are the people in charge fully aware of what they are doing, but theyre trying to get the rest of the world to follow suit

[paperlunatic]

ive smoked cigars, but they just give me a sour throat

[Lucifuge]

Damn right, it's great though, through all of the lies and their bullshit, a ton of which has been exposed and published in papers and broadcast on tv, no one seems to care anymore. They just expect corruption from their leaders now, it's just normal.

Man if this were the sixties we'd totally have gay sit-in's and ton more protesters or at least the 80's then we'd have a bunch of cool riots. But nope, we're stuck here in the 00's where no one gives a shit anymore.

i hate tobaco and it pisses me off when i see people smoking cigarettes and then hearing them say "weed is bad" or some shit like that. im like dude shut thew fuck up u dont know shit. but there just the ignorant ones so whtever.

[Pete Rock]

Yea I can't stand tobacco either. I got a rule for my car which is u can only smoke in there if its weed, nothing else.

[benagain]

tobacco is very very bad for you. Prolly the worst habbit you can start next to crack. I've never heard of radioactive tobacco fields before though. I know a few people back home who grow tobacco and they certainly don't grow in that shit. Maybe somewhere they do, but I've never seen it.

[LIP]

Well i smoke, and now i really wanna quit... I might get some patches and then stick to skunk

Keep in mind that tobacco is legal in every country except Bhutan which banned it in 04.
why isn't pot legal (in most countries too)? Cause gov'ts dont want everyone to be high all the time and slow down their country.
Not every country is gonna follow amsterdam's stats for people who get high.
This is America, we are the dumbest fucks ever! We have the most drunk driving and that's a reason alone why we pushed the age to 21 which STILL doesnt stop drunk driving. But it still saved 20,000 people a year.

Why isnt drugs legal here? cause this country is too stupid to handle em. It's hard enough to control alcohol and at one point we even banned it for a year.
It's bad enough we have alcohol, holy shit imagine what would happen if pot was legal!
My only postive view and shine of hope is that there has never been any crime or accidents and etc that has been linked to pot. So if we legalize it, will it stay that way? If so, then we should legalize it in a SECOND.
Another thing.. not everyone likes pot.. you cant just assume the whole country is gonna be too stoned. My gf loves alcohol to death but she FUCKIN HATES POT AND WOULD BREAK UP WITH ME IF SHE CAUGHT ME!

You banned it back when people were WAY more naive then they are now.

Imagine what would happen if it were legalized? Ok. I would buy pre rolled joints from a corner store (probably with reduced THC levels), smoke it and go about my day.

Weed makes people slow and yeah, sometimes a little dumb. Alcohol makes people belligerent, angry and violent and it's one of 'merica's biggest tax breaks. The government just wants to look like they haven't fucked up. In the 40's and 50's the made fucking video's that said smoking a j would turn you into a fucking murdering rapist. Obviously not true but just an example of how badly the government just wants to control us. If they were to legalize the stuff tomorrow they'd seem like bigger hypocrites then they are now.

And to say that most people in your country are stupid is pretty ignorant.

[God v2.0]

dude i wanna punch your ladie in the head pride. alcohol is one of the most evil substances, if you know an alcoholic then you know what i mean. booze kills ur brain, and makes ur liver turn into a pickle

:thumbsup: I smoke cigs, Don't really plan on quitting, even when people tell me stories, and I see people who make those stories alive.We all have an addiction that will eventually lead to death....smoking, extream sports, drinking, anoreixa, bulima,sex, (yes you can die from having sex if the person is infected...)Drugs, OF any kind....As to where your addiction gets really bad,and you just take them all, Somehow the things we are addicted too, or enjoy very much so will lead us to the final fate of death...And as for legalizing pot, you might as well, give it up...the american goverment spends 2 much money preventing it, we're fucking stupid...We cause problems, rather then prevent, thank god for our country...and yet...we are still free....however long that'll last....
