I couldn't help but sign up and comment when I seen this thread...... as I think it is strongly misrepresenting the green party, but regardless of that I wanted to share a link:

here's a random link to one of the thousands of pages of statistics about tobacco smoking. It is much more educational to realize that the governments allow tobacco companies to sell their product regardless of the effects devastating people on a global level. I do not smoke cannabis myself, but I do smoke cigarettes and I only wish it was the other way around. I got hooked as a very young teenager and feel like it is destroying my health and I've witnessed first hand deaths due to cigarette smoking & know of more than only 4 victims myself.
Personally I don't think cannibus should be legalized but it does not make sense why it isn't legal when tobacco is allowed.
