POISON POT

I've always wondered how much support there is out there for medical
cigarettes. After all, a lot of people say that it helps to calm their
nerves.

Cigarettes have three to five times less tar then marijuana, and
unlike marijuana, cigarettes have no connection to schizophrenia.
Whether or not some of the chemicals in cigarettes stay in your system
for three months as does marijuana, I don't know.

Webster's Dictionary describes marijuana as capable of producing
disorienting or hallucinogenic effects when smoked in cigarettes or
ingested. With medicine like this, who needs poison?

I quite smoking cigarettes 40 years ago. As for the Lefty Luckies, I
wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole.
