So yes, if you are going to sell something illegal that makes people unmotivated, mentally confused, more liable to depression and schizophrenia, and lung cancer, the sellers should pay taxes.

Excuse me, but I thought that this article was about marijuana... not tobacco.*

Regards,

*Oh, right: For some reason, tobacco isn't illegal. And yes, I am aware that virtually everything you eat, smoke, drink, or do probably will increase your statistical chance of getting cancer, developing bad breath, or becoming a Democrat... I just don't think that that justifies Father State sticking his nose into my personal affairs.

Actually, I thought that tobacco assisted in Ideation. I smoked for a couple of months when I was 15. I remember the out of body feeling I received when I smoked....the top of my head would dissolve, my mind would float over me...a wonderful euphoric feeling!

I, however, started coughing up green stuff and caught pneumonia and decided my body was not made to smoke.

As far as the other stuff is concerned I wish I never touched it. Ruined my early life. My cousin also used it, she moved on to the streets, on to heroin, and died of an overdose at 17. If your experience was/is different I am glad. Regards!
