tobacco was a government scam

In the same way that human feces is a museum piece.

they let people get addicted to it and then they suddenly ramped up the prices through tax

tobacco was indians revenge for the booze

do you want the same to happen with far more addictive and harmful substances

and you know it would

Sup nerds

i mean would you rather people die of contaminated fentanyl or get measured doses in a controlled environment once they're at that point 😛

@Bastard well heres the thing: i am free to grow tobacco in my backyard if i want to. i could just not sell it. If that happens, well allright... i could probably synthethise most of them.

If you want some serious irony: After California legalized weed a lot of growers tried to go legit, and then ended up losing their "farm" in the slow moving trainwreck that is the California regulatory state.

California did what the DEA couldn't. They shut down the marijuana growers.

@Jack of Trades say good bye or else

@Redneo there's a monopoly on tobacco at the moment

@svarozhyc well if they die, that's a self solving issue

Legalise weed but there should still be drug tests at work

@Bastard - Run as an anti-trust candidate for president. Propose breaking up Phillip-Morris. 😛

exactly Grayborn legalisation achieves what the whole 'war on drugs' meme could never hope for

weed is awful and i have no idea why anyone smokes it on the regular

ban certain types of cannabis

I don't either

@Samaritan there are no drug tests at work, that would be illegal

@Bastard nice opinion

Only allow cannabis if it's stems and seeds.

it helps with the pain @Bastard

medical weed is fine but it fucks with your head

@Bastard it also heavily depends on both your individual brainchemistry and the strain.

definitely we could legalise personal plant growing

no?

I'm pretty high stress I should probably smoke it

But I don't so

I'd actually be OK with personal plant growing.

Tobacco, marijuana, even opium.

Fuck it. If you're willing to grow your own, then have at it I guess?

Only if it would kill pothead culture tbh

Pothead culture is only a thing because of Hollywood.

whats a pothead culture?

I'm fine with growing their own stuff, just as long as no malicious acts accompany it, like selling it to young kids and such.

Literally made famous by the movies.

You've never met a stoner who does nothing but talk about his weed?

@Arthur Grayborn sounds good. the have that in jamaica, you cant have ganja (which is the legal term for it) but you can have the plants. And if you have under 50 gramms of the product, thats merely a fine without criminal record (a fine of 500 jamaican dollars which is around 4USD)

well i met those, just didnt stay around too long

And how great it is

whats the issue?
