Tobacco Illegal but THC Legit?

[pknopp]

Ummmm
What about the DWI from Marijuana use?
Work injuries?
Home accidents related to intoxication?

I notice all those are not mentioned.

That's called biased facts.

When did Biden make marijuana illegal?

"Between 2000 and 2018, the percentage of car crash deaths in the United States involving cannabis have doubled—and the percentage of deaths involving both cannabis and alcohol have more than doubled, according to a new study by a School of Public Health researcher.

Researchers from the School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, Boston Medical Center, and University of Victoria found that people who died in crashes involving cannabis had 50 percent greater odds of also having alcohol in their system."

I am sure you can research it, I doubt any DWIs are given to people smoking tobacco.

People being careless with smoking cause fires....no doubt about it.

And smoking causes productivity losses due to smokers being absent from their workstations. (Outside smoking)

But to cite national health?
Are we going to now have limits on junk food purchases? Only two bags of pork skins per purchase? One bag of doritos per person? But as much THC as you can tolerate?

This is literally the dumbest thing ever.

I'm pretty sure nobody ever killed anyone over a kilo of pork skins.

Now Biden is working hard to get nicotine and menthol cigarettes banned....but has essentially legalized Marijuana.

I'm not worried, I anticipated this years ago and keep about 20 pounds of premium tobacco on hand.
But just last night I looked up a product on TV for stress and relaxation to find out that it is D9-THC and by their own admission, gets you stoned. Go figure.

Intoxicating substances are legal but non Intoxicating are illegal.

Oh believe me, tobacco is intoxicating too. I guarantee you that if you buy /real/ tobacco, not the floor sweepings crap they sell in American cigarettes, at least maybe Indian-branded cigarettes, and inhale a big puff, you will think you just toked hashish. Stuff will put you right out there in La-La land.

If the FDA forced the sale of real tobacco instead of the crap sold in Marlboro, Lucky Strikes and Pall Mall, instead of being a two pack a day man, you'd be a one cigarette a day man, but then, Big Tobacco wouldn't make nearly as much money.

Big Tobacco (like many big corps) bribe/pay off Big Government, then Big Government lets you get abused by Big Corp so that Big Corp gets rich.

What?
Is this clown world?
Intoxicating substances are legal but non Intoxicating are illegal. What's next coffee going to be illegal?

Don't forget we're getting warning lables on alcohol.

Sets the stage for taxes like tobacco

Duh

if you apply 'quotas' to softdrugs or food, people will even turn to illegal suppliers.

No kidding,
Al Capone and other mobsters rose to power on Alcohol sales by importing wine and distilled spirits during prohibition.
A strong demand of what is viewed as a harmless product will do exactly the same thing.

We were not discussing everything under the sun..

How about pregnancies from being high versus being drunk?

Tobacco is not intoxicating or debilitating like alcohol or THC. It's a mild stimulant like coffee or chocolate.

Long term THC use has been linked to cardiac arrest and emotional instability.
Tobacco has the physical links but no emotional links.

Meaning: Both are unhealthy but pot smokers are crazy.

 

[Anathema]

You’re right. They should both be illegal… as well as alcohol.

Smoking tobacco kills hundreds of thousands of users and non-users...Pot smokers are no more crazy than people who have sex with porn actresses while their wife is giving birth to a child.

No....
Many studies have demonstrated that long term THC use causes emotional deregulation. (Big words i'll explain it for you)
Meaning that people who use THC will lose the ability to regulate their own emotions....leading to "Karen's" and more road rage incidents to name a few more common problems on the rise.
