If there was no tobacco then we would have been just a very large lumber yard. |

That does not seem to be limiting the market. The motivations for growing and smoking pot are different than for smoking cigarettes. So says you... and being as at least half of my friends are still tokers I can tell you, you are wrong... |

I only have one buddy who smokes a joint from time to time. |

Who would know more about drug and alcahol abuse than the learned spouse of a doctoral candidate who did her dissitation on the very subject. Just saying. |

Somebody should have told her she didn't have to marry one to understand the deficiencies in a drug and alcohol abuser. |

Two guys take their cars out for a joyride in the country one of them lights up a tobacco cigarette. The other lights up a dope cigarette. Which guy is more likely to wrap his car around a tree or light pole? -- O M G |
