Posting pictures of being the "judge" will only come back to but you when you're in front of the "jury"

These posts always make me smile. People panicked. To much money on the table. You can go back
And read post from 10 years ago and they are still the same.

I am currently sitting on about 10lbs of tobacco. At my current rate of about 10 bowls/week I figure I have about a 5 year supply - that's if I stop buying tobacco now. I still have a local B&M where I can get bulk blends that I like and I figure that California might have a few more years before internet sales are banned. To be honest, I didn't smoke a pipe for almost 30 years until this past "COVID" year, so if the tobaccolypse hits I will adjust. If it all just goes away, I'll smoke through my cellar, then just sit and admire my pipes. At least there will still be bourbon!

If I was in NZ or Australia ten years ago I hope I would’ve been smart enough to cellar.

The best answer is not to crave smoking pipes. Addicts crave smoking, but you guys aren't addicts. So you're good.

I think I'm more addicted to buying it than actually smoking it.

Back then tobacco cost half of what it does now and several big names were still available.

Speak for yourself.

I have lived through many tobaccopolypsia: the sobraniepocolypse, the bengalslicespocolypse, the durbarcpocolypse, the bombaycourtpocolypse. Experience has made me hard, and prepared, and deeply stocked. Not deeply stocked enough mind you; i couldn't survive a perettipocolypse. But I'm working on that... also discovering McConnell's excellent Durbar replacement helps.

I have an impressive stash considering I smoke 1 bowl in a typical day. Tobaccopocolypse would make me irate given its an American freedom to basically do what you want as long as it is moral and legal. I can't stand when people oppress others for the sake of there own desires and will. Thats exactly what criminals do. I don't understand how people don't get that. Stupid is a stupid does I suppose.

Amen!

That attitude and type of thinking works in other countries. In America, the attitude is that when the law no longer serves the people, civil disobedience requires upstanding citizens to defy the law or replace the government. If the government should decide I can not smoke my tobacco in my home then the castle has been occupied and quartered by unwelcomed troops. Keeping in mind Kohlberg's stages of moral development, it seems to me that our Declaration of Independence was predicated on rights not derived from kings, but from something more universal.

So, I hope you will reconsider and light up your pipe in protest and enjoyment.

Double amen!

Very well said. I too would light up.

I've got a sign over my door that reads, "Please Call Prior To Visitation". I've also got a sawed off H&R 10 gauge hanging by the door for the less courteous.?

The sign on my door has a revolver and says " If You're Found Here Tonight, You'll Be Found Here In The Morning"

I can easily walk away from this hobby and if and when my stash dries up I’ll just be like it was fun while it lasted.

If the worst happened, tobacco use outlawed, I would immediately have more disposable income. Nothing wrong with that! No great loss as I chose to smoke and am not married to it.

Being disobedient to the law is the antithesis of what most US citizens believe. We have other, legal options, to counter such acts/laws. I'm sincerely glad you were a teacher of English and not Civics. Although I believe the teaching of civics is largely omitted in most US school districts these days. Our revolutions tend to occur at the ballot box, not on the streets.

True, but it's better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
