To cut it short, I’m just going to hop in the car for a 2 to 3 hour ride to SC, and buy from the B&M that used to have an online store. Until the Police start pulling you over for that revenue pull and inspecting you for tobacco products, this will have to do.
Terribly hard to prove, Its testable. Every time I’ve been pulled over(thank god I haven’t been arrested) I’ve paid a fine. That’s revenue.
Now I know that fines are there to curb behavior. But the side effect is still money. Does it work, yep, I’m constantly hesitating to drive fast and maintain my lane, while trying to not kill some one in my Cafe Standard Speeding Plastic Bullet.
Damn Right! “Cosmic this isBandit, what New C&D GLP, GH&Co, blend do you need?”
Allow me to repeat myself,I wager, this law bill won't go through and does not get approved, period, at least in the U.S, period
Yeah the cigar Association sends me petitions to sign all the time. Most are geared towards pipe tobacco as well. But some are not.
a few years ago there was a law going through to tax pipe tobacco at the same rate as cigarette tobacco. The law was openly aimed at those shitty low quality rolling tobaccos that are labeled as pipe tobacco. Thankfully it didn't go through as it would have raised the cost of pipe tobacco tremendously. I wrote several representatives about that basically saying if you can't find a way to separate pipe tobacco from rolling tobacco then you're punishing a whole group of people because others are tax cheats. Seriously if you wonder if that's effective at all looking at the history of the FDA's attempt to ban Kratom.
Or science. Including the fact that nicotine is finally being medical accepted as having very real therapeutic effects. Including increasing gateing in schizophrenics, mood stabilization in mood disorders like bi-polar. Gateing is what happens when you experience a stimuli repeatedly like the construction next door and your brain gets used to it and stops being startled every single time you hear hammering or banging, schizophrenics minds do not do that unless they have nicotine. The health effects are terrible with cigs and moderate with everything else. Basically smoking a pipe or dipping is on par with having a bit too much coffee or i.e. not really a significant public health concern or drain. And don't underestimate the power of I'am an adult that likes something a whole heck of a lot.
we don't want teens doing either and some of them seem to really want to use both. Though I never heard of any teens wrecking their parents car after a pack of Winstons.
I don't disbelieve that. But they'll just insist on banning tobacco and providing 'therapeutical' nicotine through drugs (of course Big Pharma has a heavy hand in the crafting of these bills). They've already admitted that nicotine does not cause cancer: it's the combustion of tobacco that "kills". And since 'world without cancer' is the whole excuse for their shenanigans...
they're literally just starting to accept this. I knew a guy who spent about 20 years promoting the theraputic effects of nicotine and how terrible cigs are. Apperantly he regularly got offers from cigarette companies to do what ever research he wanted to with the big caveat they owned the research hence could control what parts got released or shelved. Pretty blunt way to bribe a person.
Heh, from my Textbook of Materia Medica:
(Emphasis is mine.)
But nevermind, they will continue to argue that tobacco kills.
Amelioration.- (Colocynthis)
From discharge of flatus ; from coffee ; from smoking ; from bending double ; from hard pressure.
(Emphasis is mine.)
But nevermind, they will continue to argue that tobacco kills.
it's changing but like every field it's hard to get a group of people to all realize they've been wrong about something that seems so plainly obvious. For personal example now when I go to the doctors and they note I am in good shape for my age the doctors have stopped telling me I am wrong that pipes and snus are much less harmful and promise to actually read up on the studies I mention.
For the sake of clarity, I would correct that to: The goal is a total ban on all tobacco use.
Some forms of "smoking" are apparently perfectly acceptable...whereas all forms of tobacco use are unacceptable.
Much less after a bowl of Quiet Nights
I'm just afraid that the next time we see a total cooperation between parties in Congress... a giant asteroid is going to be involved.
Likely not even then. It will collide with the earth while they argue over who's fault it is. They have to establish that or they might not get re-elected.
“Bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.” – George Carlin
As for an asteroid, whether that is a bad thing all depends on where it lands.
