Writing another article about this as I speak. It's important stuff to get out IMO.
This level of speculation needs to penetrate the collective consciousness.
The cannabis industry is having done to it what the tobacco industry had done to that, by all accounts.
Tobacco is another plant that has been massively misunderstood in the Western World, (no I am not promoting it's use), and we have been conditioned to believe that chemical laden artificial 'tobacco products' (cigarettes, etc.) ARE 'tobacco', and a reflection of the damage that tobacco itself does. This is absolutely not the case, as anyone growing and using their own tobacco will tell you.
I'm definitely not advocating the use of tobacco in any form, as it would be highly irresponsible to do so.
I'm just stating that home grown tobacco is a different experience to anything you will find over-the-counter. Those 'tobacco products' on shop shelves are the danger to both people and the reputation of tobacco itself.. perpetuated upon us by that which is supposed to have our best interests at heart; our old trusty governments.

(Govern'ment.. Ment - Latin for 'mind'. Govern - ' control'. )
