if mj was legal...

[tonyk313]

i was just thinking that IF marijuana was legal... cigarette companies would be out of business lol

they could market weed as "a healthy cigarette alternative, that is 10000x better"

lol... just a thought

[sh4d0ws]

Cig companies are one of the reasons mj isn't legal...sad really

I like tobacco and would definitely keep smoking it if marijuana were fully legalized and widely available from retail outlets. I think many other people feel this way. Many others like tobacco but have given marijuana an honest go and don't like it. I live in a place where personal use is almost defacto legalized (I have witnessed people, under ordinary circumstances, smoking within a few feet of uniformed police offices without the cops caring), have almost equal access to marijuana as I do to tobacco, and still smoke tobacco (and it's not due to addiciton, I often go days or weeks without tobacco).

actually..

Philip Morris (company that owns Marlboro Cigarettes) has TradeMarked the name "Alcopoco gold" (sorry i cant spell it!) so if and when marijuana is legalized and has gotten the greenlight to start producing marijuana cigarettes, Philip Morris will have "Alcopoco Gold" brand marijuana cigarettes on shelves by the next day. so they will continue to make money, thats what ive been told at least, and it makes sense, tobacco companies just about own this country. kinda?

It would suck if weed was legalized, cause then it will be just one more thing the government can tax the shit out of. But then again, it might become cheaper because it could be mass produced. I dunno, i just dont like paying money to those greedy duchebags in the head office when i can blaze whenever i want without governement getting a piece of my hard earned cash.

From what I hear, Marlboro's got dibs on a box they designed for when its legal.

Well the douchebags would still get ur money because ur supplier spends ur money on other stuff besides more mj.

Well if it was legalized then why wouldn't you just grow a bunch of plants yourself. I think that so many people would be growing it that it would be hard to tax it because none would buy in stores. they would just keep doing it as they do now just legally.

for the same reason that most people dont grow all their own fruits vegetables and herbs. Growing things can be hard (especially if you want really quality products), and most people dont have the time/space to do that.

if it were totally legal to grow im sure many MORE people would grow, but im sure the average guy in NYC with a little apartment would just go buy some weed at the store, rather than try to grow it in a little closet.

however, considering the INSANE quality seeds you can buy online these days, if it was legalized, then the weed people grew would be good. Then again, if it were totally legalized, the legal weed that is produced by huge scientifically honed producers would probably be AMAZING as well.
either way, no matter what, lets just hope its legalized.

Yeah like others said, the Tobacco company has already thought this well through, they're not gonna let some little weed cut out tobacco sales. It's easiest to jsut go with the flow.

Marlboro Kush, imagine that.
