I have to credit listening to Cheech and Chong as a kid with making me decide to never try drugs.

heh heh

And then there were those who gave up drugs as a result of the truth of Cheech & Chong’s portrayals...

I had Phillip Morris stock in my retirement portfolio. I asked the guy “why?” and he said, “Tobacco will never go away.”

The government will spend millions to promote people smoking pot.

Just wait a few years, they will be gunning for those evil marijuana corporations. Then, it will be an all out war using OUR money.

Typical government bullshit.

I smoked the equivalent of 2 joints my entire life, just to see what the big deal was. BLEH! Can’t stand the smell anyways. A good cigar once in a while is the only smoking I do.

“Hey, man, what ‘chu want? Good grammar or good taste?”

That was WINSTON. “Winston tastes good like (as)a cigarette should!”

But then “I DROPPED EVERYTHING!” for a CAMEL filter cigarette!

Sun drenched top tobacco, top grade A! Top tobacco in the USA! Sun drenched top tobacco’s gonna mean that you are smoking soother and you’re smoking clean! CHESTERFIELD!”

Then WINSTON ripped off the theme from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, and LARK grabbed off the theme to THE LONG RANGER. (Have a LARK, have a LARK, have a LARK LARK LARK!”)

You can just about guess my age from all this.

“Acapulco Gold”

That name was copyrighted about 40 years ago when they thought MJ would be legalized back then.

The government wants people to smoke as much pot as possible.

Marijuana instead of tobacco? I’d rather fight than switch!

Ah, memories of Edie Adams selling cigars..”Why don’t you pick one up and S-s-moke it some time?”

Made my 16 year old body break out in a fever!

It will be funny to see Dems demand they keep selling smokes so they don’t lose the tax revenue. Govco makes way more from a pack of smokes than Philip Morris ever is allowed to.

Imagine there's no more Marlboro®
It's not so easy but you must try
No burned up butts below us
No blue smoke in the azure sky
Imagine all the people
Going crazy for just one last smoke today....

Imagine there's no Parliament®
It isn't hard to do
No Vagina Slims® and Chesterfields®
No Benson & Hedges® too
Overpriced and overtaxed you may say
But imagine all the people who'd still be alive today...

You may say I'm a dreamer
Yet I'm not the only one
But where the hell will we put them
If they all live to be a hundred and one?

Call your broker and tell him to dump all your stock in the manufacturers of exploding Cigarette Loads.

With Phillip Morris gone the market is sure to dry up because loads don't work worth a damn in those new fangled E-Cigarettes.

If the thinking is this will stop the lawsuits against tobacco use, guess again. Lawyers will be suing tobacco companies for the rest of this century.

The difference between a whore and a lawyer?

The whore will stop screwing you when you're dead.
