i somewhat agree killerweed420,
but in reality.. im never gonna go to a weak company i go for the large corporations, for prestige & better pay. still its more to that than a simple owner stating hey i want this tested for this duration. i believe its strongly based on politics.. i live in a red state. republican state.. Texas...which is conservative on top of that.. and i consider my self a new age liberal held captive in a red state.. basically the goverment cant find away to place a tax on it.. thats all its about "getting their cut"

if you think about it... what if they did legalize marijauna...tobacco companies would be the 1st large manufactors of the product..
think of malboro janes 100's on sale at the store for $25.00 per pack.
think of Newport blunt kings w/menthol on sale for $35.00 per pack..
in my state a regular pack of smokes at 7-11 cost about $6.48.. with the taxes going to our schools, healthcare welfare, and etc... think of what communities could do with the extra cash is they made it all legal.... but nope.... why?? cause its the #1 commodity that anyone can grow in their own back yard..just abit higher than corn. Funny here in Dallas they found a huge stash of weed crops..right behind the DEA offices!.. and truthfully DEA is getting tired of messing with the stuff cause once they find some, they know there's likely 1000's more somewhere else. Houston was once very close to simply giving tickets for possesion cause of the overcrowding in jails.. hell i think everywhere jail overcrowding is becoming an issue.. what if 4 million smokers all of a sudden decided to get arrested across the nation..do you really think that would have an effect on the conservatives?
