No, Duppy, you misunderstand me, I think lol

What I'm saying is, that tobacco is a KNOWN health risk and burden upon society, as is alcohol (binge drinking culture, societal cost, etc), and yet, because those particular industries are such a financial contributor (above and beyond tax revenue) to political coffers, that the government wouldn't dare compromise their income by legislating against it's legality.

And yet, against an overwhelming proportion of evidence and opinion to suggest otherwise, they continue to regale against cannabis.

It just seems, at the very least, slightly hypocritical of them.
