[QUOTE="GorillaG, post: 3968962, member: 49083"] The pharmaceutical and medical community have deep pockets, it's always about the money. Don't worry, after the marijuana industry is done exploding and has their own deep pockets, they will be in line for massive litigation too. Big tobacco was just a big CASH COW. If smoking is so evil and we want to end it why not just pass a law that anyone under 18 today can NEVER legally buy tobacco? We care about the "children" so much, right? It won't ever happen though because they want those taxes! I recall when this was all going down, Bill Clinton's FDA head was being grilled by congress and they asked him why, if tobacco is so EVIL why not just outlaw it? He faked extreme outrage then said it wouldn't be "fair" to all those addicted. Well they would all thank him a few weeks later but it's NEVER been about ANYTHING but the MONEY!!! [/QUOTE]
