Then don't complain about your addictive drug being added to the illegal drug list.

You're just itching to pick a fight, aren't you? LOL  Your a hoot.

Well, cigarettes have been a legal commodity for years and years and years.  And smokers contribute BILLIONS to the economy every month just by paying taxes on the cigarettes.

So, if cigarettes are EVER banned, you better get ready to dig deep, because the lawmakers aren't going to give up this cushy money that easily.  Someone WILL have to pay!

CIGARETTES DON'T PAY TAXES - SMOKERS DO!

LOL!
No, I'm not. I'm simply pointing out the truth to you. I don't use any drugs including alcohol and tobacco, so it's no skin off my butt what they do to you or any other addict. Many, including me, consider nicotine addicts exactly the same as heroin addicts. But...I believe you have the right to enjoy your addiction. I don't believe I have the right to dictate to you what you can or can not consume.

Cannabis was a legal commodity for "years and years and years". The same is true of every drug that has been added to the CSA. Time will not protect you.

Someone WILL have to pay!
Someone always does. The population grows adding new taxpayers to the rolls every year.
