I don't smoke pot (anymore), I seldomly drink (and actually get a buzz) and I no longer smoke cigarettes (I do love the little basturds). I do not condemn the use of pot, booze or cigarettes, to each his own, on his own property. I occasionally "sneak" to the McDonalds for some of those DElicious frys and the best damn fountain Coke on the planet.


Now that all of that is out of the way.....


I can get thrown in jail for smoking a doob yet I can smoke as many cigarettes as I want, a pack at a time if I choose. Cigarettes are at least as addictive as herb IMO if not more so. I am no doctor but I would think cigarettes are worse for you than pot because you typically don't smoke a pack of 20 doobs per day, yes there are exceptions....


I can legally drink myself to the point I am no longer conscious, day after day if I choose. I don't believe you can smoke pot to the point of unconsciousness, yet by trying to I am breaking the law.


I can eat Big Macs ten at a time until I drop from clogged plumbing and that's fine with the local authorities.


My point is that we are allowed to make so many choices in this fine country of ours, many of which will certainly kill some of us, so why is pot illegal? Does the gobment make or spend more money keeping pot illegal? Is it because unlike booze it didn't arrive in clay bottles on the first ships that landed here?
