Marijuana won't destroy society as we know it.

I've read studies that suggest that between 40 and 50 percent of adults 18 or over have experimented with marijuana at some point in their lives. Contrast that with the 2 to 3 percent who have tried crack or meth.

Out with the weed, in with the speed every time, yessir.

Just curious if you were an anarchist or just in favor of limited government according to the Constitution. It seems you're the former.

Don't get me wrong, I'd certainly prefer a government that followed the constitution to what we have now, but that's a fantasy. If you're going to dream, you might as well dream big.

If anything that's probably low. Frankly, if anyone asks me, I'm practically embarrassed to say I've never tried it.

I'll bet studies would show that most hard drug addicts smoked cigarettes before they tried harder drugs.

And I'll bet that even more of them drank coffee.

Oh God. I do both! I'm doomed.

Growing marijuana isn't as hard or involved as growing tobacco. For example Pot will grow almost anywhere,not so for tobacco.

If growing tobacco was easy don't you suppose at $4.50 - $8 a pack someone hasn't tried it already.

I agree a lot would go with convenience but more would grow their own. Grow your own gives you more control over quality/potency and lowering cost and escaping taxation .

you realize that the bulk of the cost of cigarettes is taxes right?

yeppers over half the cost. In Texas a pack of smokes avgs about $4.50/pack. The breakdown is $1.39 fed tax, $1.41 Texas Tobacco Tax, about 25 cents sales tax. so a $4.50 pack of smokes is comprised of $3.05 in Taxes or 68 % of the price.

Think the govt could get away with that on any other legal product.
