[BlkCat] Knola I'd recommend weed over cigs, but not officially. Because that would be condoning something that is against the law. Drugs are bad. Mkay. neutral
I have a theory that cigs are MUCH worse for you than weed.
EDIT: I know this is off-topic, but I'm wary about any kind of energywork done while drunk or high. I mean, usually I think I can sing better than normal while drunk, when it's of course the total opposite. xd
Man, I'm just getting farther and farther away from the original subject. sweatdrop Not only is it a good theory, but it's fairly simple to prove. Of various hundreds of chemicals that the tobacco companies add to their cigs, it adds and adds to the lethality of them. However weed is a bit more...pure, grown as a plant, and thats it...no added chemicals, no Nair-like chemicals, and far less addicting. Truth. Makes me wonder if there'd be a greater uproar if the sides were reversed -- would people decry the legalisation of tobacco if weed was legal? Also, addictive, not addicting. Since Dras isn't here, I have to step up and become guild grammar-gestapo. >.>;;;

See, I was talking to a friend this morning (who was high at the time, I wasn't though, I don't do that stuff), and he was saying that the only reason the gov. doesn't legalize it is because it is so easy to grow, everybody would end up with a few plants and then the government would be ******** because they wouldn't have anything to tax. The US gov. is even trying to raise taxes on cigs by 80% a pack, and 120% a carton.

Weed isn't my thing, since I can't stand any kind of smoke (too sensitive), but I believe that people should be able to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own home, as long as it isn't hurting anyone.

Knola If the Gov't was able to make weed legal and tax it like crazy, they would. But yup, since weed is so easy to grow at home, it would be close to impossible to regulate.
Weed isn't my thing, since I can't stand any kind of smoke (too sensitive), but I believe that people should be able to do whatever they want in the privacy of their own home, as long as it isn't hurting anyone. XD I think I love you. Yes, I agree. In fact, laws were made to keep people from hurting others, not to keep them from hurting themselves, or to control or fine/tax them. I think there should be NO laws that don't protect you from somebody other than yourself. Meaning...dealing drugs = illegal, using them = legal. And I don't smoke weed either, although I had the chance too last night and this morning. Cigs are my thing.

Just for the record, tobacco can make you very ill or kill you in its natural state, without even smoking it.
There are a few field workers that catch tobacco sickness from working in wet tobacco. The plants catch the rainwater in their leaves and such and after sitting for so long, that water essentially turns brown from the nicotine. If you work in wet tobacco too long you can get nicotine poisoning through your skin or from open wounds if you have them.
It's never happened to me, but it's not that uncommon. Working in wet tobacco is mostly avoided just because of difficulty anyway, so it's usually not an issue.
Just a tidbit of knowledge from the farmboy. smile

I am envious. I keep meaning to buy a Zippo, but I forget about it from time to time. I don't smoke either (my lungs would rebel violently. It would involve much blood and much Albuterol), but I love fire. Especially lighters. And strikers. I don't know why they're so fascinating to me, but I played with one in my chem lab for an hour today.
