i HIGHLY doubt tobacco companies want to keep weeed illegal, use your head a little, its all sorts of companies, timber and petro-chemical companies are seriously threatened by hemp, pharmacutical companies are threatened by medical mj, and all have plenty of money to fund the MOTHER FUCKING DIRTY SHITBAG Ad Council, and keep people stupid, and until we have resolved this whole gay ass war on terror, which wont be for a while, and if there is no other big issues for people to focus on, then weed doesnt have a chance
