It's not just Big Tobacco it's also Pharmaceutical companies, they cant compete with weed.this makes sense. and the ONLY reason weed ain't legal now is cuz big tobacco is one of the major lobbyist and lining these politicians pockets with bread to keep the weed illegal.
cuz once it gets legal, its a wrap for them.
and if u were a tobacco company, instead of fighting it, why not get ready to grow weed crops and sell joints in packs like u do cigarettes. cuz when it does get legal, I'll surely buy legal weed in a pack from the store already rolled up.
You gotta think about it like this, there is no way to control weed. Anybody with alittle time and space can grow their own bud. Yeah Big Tobacco could package up some pre-rolled product, but how long b4 they start spraying shyt on it lacing it with all kinds of chemicals. Me IMa be smoking that home grown! Thats the problem shyt if u on your grind you could get a steady base of clientele and start your own business.
Now that's just tobacco, these pharmaceuticals cant compete either, think about all these people taking all these pills for shyt that could be helped with bud (ie: anxiety)
Atleast I gotta say they are doing the right thing in most states by changing these BS laws, in most states a small amount is a small fine or violation when in your pocket. Now lets say you get stopped and a cop say can you empty your pockets...that small amount you had in you pocket that would have just been a fine is now a misdemeanor bc it's in public view. Thats bullshyt so in some respects I like to see them making progress...I just want them to stop the BS and just legalize it.
It's all about these greedy pigs and their bread, bc there is no reason America cant just do it like Amsterdam.
