Yeah, but it's illegal. Thus you are a criminal and your opinion can be safely dismissed. Now run along and enjoy your weed of delinquency while I ruin my internal organs with opiates.

There's always some iteration of THAT GUY that tries to argue that nicotine does have a mind-altering component.

It does, but by the time you are addicted it doesn't do poo poo anymore. I have serious doubts that the dude in question smokes ritual tobacco.

Nicotine has anti-depressant qualities so tobacco does have a mind-altering component. (Neither tobacco nor pot should be illegal)

Nicotine has also been found to help with ADHD, some forms of frontal lobe epilepsy, and possibly with symptomatic relief of some effects of schizophrenia. There are healthier ways to self-administer than smoking though, but yeah, neither tobacco nor pot should be illegal.

Fair points all, but nicotine is not tobacco. This is important because like the frequent pitfall in the medical marijuana argument, no doctor in modern medicine will proscribe you inhale the smoke of burning leaves for the treatment of any illness. Just to clarify, I also am not for the prohibition of either, but if one was on the chopping block tobacco would get the axe. I was 100% addressing this though: Humphry posted:Nope they are legal here. I smoke tobacco, I drink 5-6 coffees and 1-2 energy drinks a day. I cant drink alcohol because of opiate pain meds I take.

Tobacco shouldn't be illegal but it should be discouraged and the way we're doing so seems appropriate (large taxes against the product plus prohibition of usage in public places).

No. That's the law Rick Scott passed earlier in the year. It was for epileptic children and also a way to combat the new amendment.

I'm hoping that between the sample sizes of the last few polls being much smaller than earlier ones showing the proposition passing and people not wanting to admit their positions over the phone, the proposition will just squeak by. But I'm guessing it won't. Maybe in 2016.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK4JqIO6ktY Good god. They've produced at least six ads that play on my TV 24/7. I've now seen one Yes ad that stars a toddler with epilepsy. I'm glad the snarky doctor marching through the hall of her medical practice and red-faced sheriff will drown out any compassion people have for the sick.

http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2014/10/medical_marijuana_is_not_done_according_to_latest_poll.php So I'm starting to wonder what the hidden variables in these polls are. These things are all over the place, but according to this one we should rejoice. If you don't want to click it, it's a phone poll of 834 likely voters and shows 62% supporting the ballot measure and 3% unsure. I really wonder if the polls with huge percentages of unsure voters are skewed in favor of the status quo. Tuesday is going to be a long day. superjew fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Oct 31, 2014 |

No you see, if all our young white youth are sitting on their duffs smoking the pot, they will have no time to attend rallies and marching drills for their local nationalist group and shall be wholly unprepared when the race war begins. It must remain illegal for the health of the fatherland.
