Weed can be farmed in the same regions and the same manner as tobacco. Kentucky, for instance, is beginning to grow hemp in large field type scenarios. As for weed gumming up the machines, not quite. My grinder and roller, not very sophisticated and prone to me spilling, go ages without being changed. Many industrial machines handle and process caustic substances all the time. Even if it was too sticky it would just be sprayed with some topical treatment of one chemical or another to make it behave (like gummy bears) - these are the cigarette companies we are talking about here, not really afraid to throw in their own patented batch of chemicals.

It's not about what happens when they're in power. Just supporting it verbally is a huge step forward.

Even if they could, legalization isn't about that. Legalization is about not arresting people for smoking and growing pot. It's about not ending up in prison just because you had a plant in your bedroom. Anything that makes that happen is good whether or not big industry gets into it.

Again, this is missing the point. Legalization is about not arresting people for pot. Beyond that, big tobacco isn't getting involved in weed in Colorado or Washington anyway. The whole argument against legalization based on the fear that big companies might get involved is really stupid.
Just because Walmart might end up selling it one day doesn't mean that we should continue to arrest people for smoking and growing pot.

I think you are on such a personal mission here to get your points proven that you are the one missing the point. I think you misread us, we are saying because Walmart might sell it one day is the *reason* it will be legalized. It is the big businesses and lobbyists that will eventually make it legal. Why would tobacco companies jump on board when it is two states? So they can pander to a relatively small customer base with no established farm/factory land in a region with legalization? When this movement gets close to finalization, when the final hands needs to be greased with cash, and the broader scope of the United States gets involved is when we will see the big tobacco corporations switching gear just so they can keep their own heads above water the with newest smoking commodity.

Actually, you can get emphysema from smoking pot. You're 20 times as likely to get it from smoking tobacco. Pot doesn't seem to cause lung cancer. I'd prefer to get a tincture and put ten drops or so in a drink in the morning, then repeat throughout the day.

True, that. When public opinion of legalization was <50%, 99% of politicians opposed it to cater to voters. Now that it's edging over 50%, we'll see more and more change their official stance on it, just to cater to the voters, no matter what their actual personal stance is. Of course, that's better than nothing, but it still shows you that the majority of politicians cannot be respected.

What are the odds of getting emphysema from smoking pot? Is it statistically worth mentioning, because I'm pretty sure it isn't. You can technically be struck by lightning 10 miles from a thunderstorm

I think McCain has a pretty level head honestly. He is an old timer and for him to realize that weed isn't a big deal is a huge step.. I mean everyone always fucking begs for the politicians to change policies and when they do it they claim they are just trying to please.. McCain is fucking old I doubt he is going to run again for president..

I've seen both sides of the spectrum... in person, and I'd have to agree with you, though I wouldnt call them useless bums--- but certainly a breakfast-lunch-dinner 24/7 bong hitting stoner operates on a scale of "reduced productivity" no doubt.
on the flipside though--- people who suck down espresso and 5-hour energy shots three times a day (or more) often seem irritable and emotionally volatile, argumentative, road rage, etc...
good quality natural sleep is pivotal for human health-- despite what some people might say... marijuana, alcohol, and caffeine all interfere with REM sleep
IMHO--- a few bong tokes once or twice a week is the best way to use weed... at least for people who use relationally and not for medical reasons. at those levels the herb is inspiring-- the body does not have much tolerance to the THC and you get a lot more "mindfood" from the experience. Whereas daily use becomes more of a chore and the benefits are diminished somewhat

you just made a ridiculous generalization and I'm the one who's 'kidding' myself.
