"No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco; it's the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living."   --   Moliere

"Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco. "    --    Edmund Burke

This is such a tough issue.  On one hand, people should have the right to their own vice, no matter how unhealthy, but on the other hand, pot can have terrible long term mental consequences, and certifiably hurts a society as a whole.  I still don't know where I stand on this isuue.
