People don't smoke cigarettes as a marijuana alternative. They smoke because they're addicted to nicotine- a chemical not found in marijuana. Ergo, I suspect marijuana legalization will have no impact on cigarette smokers.
I quit smoking cigarettes last year on December 31st. I had smoked for over 25 years. I didn't try to justify it nor was I weak for doing so. I enjoyed it.
I don't agree. Marijuana is grown naturally and is just as much an alternative to food as anything else and would you not eat food. Don't you think a continual peace pipe like Indians would make the world way less violent as an alternative to alcohol which does in fact turn people violent. Alcohol makes you weak and marijuana can keep you stronger so as not to think weaker copouts.
