WOW! This has got to be the most intelligent debate over this subject that i have ever witnessed. I hope big brother is watching this. I choose not to smoke anything. I have tried cigarettes, cigars and pot. The most appealing to me was cigars. But alas... I am one of those people who have to carry an inhailer almost everywhere i go. For me, smoking=russian rolett. (yes, I know my spellings off)
But like i mentoned ealier i've known some very successful smokers. I honestly do believe it comes down to a genetic issue of who's addicatble and who's not. On the other side of my aquantances, for awhile (anybody ever hear of the now defunt Phil's Hobbies in Farmers Branch/Carrollton) I had the pleaser of keeping company with an FBI agent, a mailman cop (whatever they're called) and basicly several deferent Police officers from several different agencies. So when i hear of someone "growing" it in their back yard, I am amused because i have heard first hand of the methods used to find it. But yes, it is a waste of our national resorces to fight it, it is (in my opinion)a waste of personal resorces as well to buy it, but so are alot of other things we all love, Oh well. Legalize it - Tax it, then use that money to educate people, then someday, like cigarette usage, the demand will reduce.
