My husband and I, as well as a couple of other psychics with whom we associate, strongly believe that tobacco, because there had to have been a good reason for it to have been known as a sacred herb, has another story entirely.<br><br>How about this scenario: Tobacco is sacred because it protects from alien interference. It was perverted by adding chemicals to it, over 200 at last count. The purest form of the plant, smoked only for sacred ceremonial reasons (and that means not all the time, not even every day) is NOT harmful; the additives are.<br><br>We have stories that people who smoke in this fashion are not subjected to abductions and other untoward activities, nor are they harrassed by other-dimensional beings.

I have no problem with herbal smoke--I "smudge" myself with an herbal wand. I have a problem with CIGARETTE smoke because it's full of known poisonous and carcinogenic chemicals. I suppose if someone used organic tobacco with no additives, and some kind of pure paper that didn't have poisons, and no chemical filters, I might not object, though with asthma, you never know what's going to get you. I had to stop going to my favorite 'metaphysical' bookstore for awhile when my asthma was bad because even the incense, which I generally like, gave me immediate constriction and even the inhaler didn't help.<br><br>And I damn near died when someone threw one of those chemical logs on the fire. Worst asthma attack of my entire life.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

*lights cigarette* <br><br>well, I'm biased. The rain where I live is carcinogenic, so is the air. <br><br>tobacco has fewer carcinogens than the equivalent amount of marijuana. marijuana, while carcinogenic, has never been shown to cause cancer in a human, meaning, equivalent use of pure tobacco has no chance. A cigarette on the other hand, has more carcinogens per microgram than either, by more than a little.<br><br>They make them more addictive and more poisonous before they sell them.<br><br>Btw, Marijuana smoke shouldn't ever constrict your lungs. It is available by prescription here, if you have chronic asthma induced lung problems or emphysema, or lung cancer.<br><br>Depending on the incense, some would open your lungs, as opposed to constricting them. Certain incense varities have similar therapeutic values to the asthmatic. As do opiates. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

indeed.<br><br>laudanum. mildly hallucinogenic.<br><br>myrrh. frankinscense. these are both mildly hallucinogenic too. make for an "interesting atmosphere" if inserted into the background of a christmas party.<br><br>don't inhale the smoke directly, get the second hand, mixed "contact buzz" variety. deep smoking might give you a headache or make you dizzy.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Gee, has anyone else noticed how similar the modern anti-tobacco-user stance aligns with LaRouche's Tough-Love-Anti-Pot-Bong-Smashing "meme"? <br> <p></p><i></i>

[robertdreed]

yeah.<br><br>I recommend that users grow their own tobacco, incidentally. It takes some care, particularly the curing. But you'll know what you're getting. <br><br>I also think that it would be swell if tobacco smokers took to smoking small bowlfuls of it in the sort of pipes typically used for smoking cannabis. That would produce less sidestream smoke, as well as really throwing a spanner in the works of Control.<br><br>I would have allowed people to smoke in my cab, if they simply did one-hitters in pipes. <p></p><i></i>

Knee...jerk.<br><br><br>I'm a libertarian regarding personal ingestion but don't want drivers and pilots with my life in their hands to be on any drugs. So, yes, safety around other people is a moral issue. I've worked in construction zones where other people's condition affected my personal safety. Literally a matter of life or death.<br><br>Several studies have indicated that pot is not a cause of car accidents. I'm not surprised.<br>We know how bad alcohol is for driving. I don't like to drive on weekend nights because of all the drunks at the wheel.<br>I wonder how many wrecks are caused by smoking with one hand?<br>I was recently almost hit in a parking lot by a guy backing up with a cellphone in one hand and a cig in the other. <br>Brother. A little competence goes a long way.<br><br>Re: Marijuana.<br>I think if more people smoked pot, there'd be less violence and people would be better evolved animals for having better integration of left/right brain functions and a better perspective on their own emotionally-driven belief systems.<br>And the destruction of alcohol use would go down as people find the anti-stress medication that best suits them.<br><br>But we know that hemp was a threat to the profits of big industries and was outlawed with psy-ops media equating pot with 'undesirable and dangerous' social elements in the 1930s. Now it seems to be used not as a 'gateway drug' but more like a tripwire to determine who won't obey the government or go to war so they can be promptly jailed.<br><br>Re: Tobacco<br>Besides my personal experience being choked to death at home and workplace and public streets by other people's addiction to tobacco with hundreds(?) of carcinogenic toxins to the point of my chronic illness and loss of income (that's all), my biggest criticisms of Big Tobacco are:<br><br>1) Addiction is ampified chemically and precludes autonomy.<br>>Loss of autonomy for profit is a trait of fascism.<br><br>2) Decades of cultural saturation marketing campaigns directed at underage youth were confirmed by industry documents.<br>>That's called selling drugs to children.<br><br>3) Big tobacco and the US government have known of the cancer link for decades but hidden it for mega-profits.<br>>That's called Murder Inc.<br><br>4) Big tobacco has resisted making cigarettes that go out when unsmoked and the resulting housefires kill people, too.<br>>This is more negligent design to maintain profits and deny any culpability whatsoever. <br><br>The social and physical manifestations of tobacco are a perfect analog for the archetypal fascist mechanisms:<br>The individual is persuaded to live on corporate poison through psychological manipulation, as a choice to be addicted sold as empowerment , independence, and rebellion (just like the American Revolutionary Myth) and find you can't escape it so defend it as your own to the death (just like jingoistic wars) while paying the government to entrap the next generation of victims (just like sponsoring our own corporate oppression and feeding the military-industrial complex that holds us captive in a permanently militarized economy).<br><br>That's all.
