Not connected in any form or fashion, but everyone thinks I am. I often seem to be the first person to get asked about pot when in a room of smokers, but I have never once taken in TDC in any form or fashion, except for second hand smoke in a room. Just not my thing. However, I have friends who do smoke, and I am curious enough that I've done a bit of research, thinking how back-@sswards the gov't is in its control of the population, all for the sake of friends of politicians. I get a little passionate about things like that.
Gov't has a way of falsely controlling things that should be out of their realm. I think control of marijuana happens to be one of those things. I can stand up and fight for freedoms of smoking pot, because they cannot bust me for possession. However, the 60+% of the US population cannot freely speak out without getting thrown in jail. If I were a lawyer, this is one law which I would be working to fight, and I would approach it from the unique angle, which I've never heard anyone else take it, a Constitution protection granted by the Freedom of Speech, which is also deeply rooted with the Freedom of Expression.
Personally, I don't like to see my friends suffer from smoke inhalation, whether that be from tobacco or weed. That part is not good, but there are ample other ways to ingest TDC without smoking it.
