Guess it's cool to smoke again, enjoy your emphysema and lung cancer

The "politically correct" thing to do is hate cigarettes and love marijuana. That's why people pretend weed smoke smells amazing even though it's more pungent in reality.

I'm libertarian leaning so I have nothing against either substance

Your kids will do whatever they want to as adults. More people have tried one or more substances.

Probably both MJ and cigarettes cause lung cancer in proportion to the tars ingested from burning vegetation. I think that nobody would smoke one or two PACKS of fat joints.


So smoking MJ is not safe...but neither is permanent war spending, asphalt roads, and CO2 increases in the atmosphere.


"Whoopee, we're all going to die."

That's the never-ending refrain from smokers since the dawn of time "this that or the other thing is also going to kill you, so hey let's smoke up!". Meanwhile when the pain and suffering hits like a freight train it's way too late to end your days in peace and comfort

Love the smell...
but love the smell of cigars also.
Grandpa smoking cigars and playing pinochle with the boys.
My wife hates it .Makes her gag................


By right. Laws should treat it like a cigarette.
In privacy of home or sanctioned public places.

You know I do actually also like the smell of cigars from a passing whiff, never smoked them and never will. The smell of marijuana though is just completely disgusting to me. I had an uncle decades ago who would smoke a pipe like Sherlock Holmes, that smell definitely brings me back

This is exactly what I was thinking! Repped.
I wish my neighbors would go outside and smoke weed so my apartment doesn't smell.
