Not surprising, as in both cases we are talking about the burning of vegetable based matter.<br /><br /><br />What is irritating, however, is the hippy bullshit that cannabis is pure and safe but that, of course, tobacco is not - despite the fact that the smokes are similar and most cannabis users mix their weed or resin (the latter not commonplace today and usually crap when it is) with tobacco. The hypocrisy of the whole thing is astounding as are some of the totally dumb arse blitherings of a few of the commentators on the piece in The Independent.<br /><br /><br />The pot heads (and I am an occasional user myself) are becoming like some of the vaping community (of which I am also one) intent and self-righteous in condemning tobacco in order to make themselves appear holy and wholesome when they are not. The vaping industry is massively dependent and parasitic on smokers and cannabis consumers are heavily dependent on tobacco as a catalyst....Ignorance rules and it makes me sick!Blad Tolstoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-49329715928673750442014-01-05T22:50:08.187+00:002014-01-05T22:50:08.187+00:00I'm well over 60 years of age and have enjoyed...I'm well over 60 years of age and have enjoyed having a toke or two for many a year. I enjoy the buzz, the temporary dislocation from our dreary reality. I grow my own 'weed' now, just a couple of plants in the greenhouse, which keeps me supplied without having to take recourse to any 'dealer'. I'm still gainfully employed after a 30-year career as a police officer.Toker (for obvious reasons)noreply@blogger.com
