Fuck that, I feel a million times better after having some tobacco with a nice alcohol buzz going. So do tons of other people. Fortunately I've been able to avoid addiction, not everyone can. So when they're hooked herbal cigs aren't gonna be the answer.

I prefer alcohol over weed and here's why..
Weed gives me terrible anxiety and alcohol does exactly the opposite for me, it relieves my anxiety and it's more conducive to social activity then weed imo. I don't think the people that enjoy getting drunk are going to suddenly switch to weed. It doesn't make sense to me.

Tobacco use has been on a steady decline even with current marijuana laws. It's use will likely continue to drop regardless of the legal status of alcohol and marijuana.

Its a slow honorable form of suicide to get away from people who believe others should live exactly like they do, whilst at the same time draining "johnny loves life so much"'s tax dollars .

several years ago canada legalized industrial hemp, the first 5 years the industry grew, more farmers were raising the crop until the production was about 5 times what the few facilities that were capable of handling it could take, the product sits and rots, suddenly the bottom falls out of the market, everyone stops growing... seems like a pointless waste of cash to grow it if no one is capable of processing it

no place to process it, so somewhere in the middle, the chain fails, doesnt matter what kind of commodity it is, if it cant make it to the end user it's just shit no one wants to lose money on

I already mentioned the story about canada, people dont dump millions into places that may never see the first day of use unless they're seeking a tax write off or laundering money

Cannabis is a very nutritional scource of food. Cannabis is fuel. Cannabis is clothing. Cannabis is a cheap building material with good insulation properties. Cannabis makes superior paper to tree paper, and per acre, yeild's 4.1 times annual fibre production. Cannabis can be made into a salve and applied topically to cure skin cancer. Cannabis can be applied topically to warts and other mutatgenic material. Cannabis is an antiemetic. Cannabis can help deal with post traumatic stress disorder.
Cannabis is also fun, and has no hangover.
Cannabis is a threat to the paper industry, or was. Cannabis is a threat to the petrochemical industry. Cannabis is a threat to the pharmaceutical industry (no real profit in curing people with non patenable medicine). Cannabis is a threat to consumerist governments who do not want people to think, do not want people to self organise, do not want people to do more than sit at home quietly and consume.

LOL, for real. Sometimes potheads assume that because they love pot and it affects them one way, everyone else should love pot and it must affect everyone else the exact same way. Before I smoked weed every day, I would have some wicked hangovers if I got super stoned at night.

But it may very well help with some cancers to some degree. And obviously you can make clothes out of it...
I don't think it would destroy huge industries, nor do I think it's a cure all fix for everything, but it does have some pretty practical uses.

Very large corporations are very good at what they do and they want to keep on doing it so don't rock the boat. They're very much like highly specialized organisms, constantly competing while carving out or claiming niches for themselves. Cannabis changes everything. It's a proverbial meteorite striking the surface. The sheer number of products that can be produced with it would invade what these corporations do and what they're good at. On top of it, the cultural landscape would change, meaning their carefully crafted markets would go awry.
It will happen out of necessity and it will help break the rigidity of the current arrangement that is pushing us too far. That's why most big corps are not interested.

Cannabis is no substitute for tobacco or booze. That'd be like saying apples are substitutes for oranges. They're both round and edible, right?
