Which proves they can't sell floral scented hippie rolling papers but
a lot of people are rolling their own smokes and buying up
tobacco....???

Personally, I think we could make a ton of money taxing pot if we
legalized it.  Even if we decriminalized it we could make a ton of
money fining potheads once a month.  And either way we get thousands
and thousands of potheads out of prison which would save a ton of
money.

Its a win-win as far as I can tell.

But there's NO traction on this issue.

Waaaaaaaay back in the 70s at least one cigarette company had the
whole thing already planned out, packaging, advertising, everything.

But Big Tobacco got butt****ed by Democrats and lawyers and they're
not gonna step up this time.

Big Alcohol won't step up because they don't want the competition and
are probably working behind the scenes to squash it.  (Which is
actually absolutely stupid...)

So, without national deep-pockets leader****p this is just a non-issue.
