Yet the g’ment does it all the time… Cigarettes? If the g’ment wanted the nation to quit smoking cigarettes why don’t they forbid the companies from adding the poisons they say is killing us… Get rid of the additives and chemicals and immediately half the nation’s smokers would quit… Placing taxes on them simply fills their coffers more quickly. Marijuana? What can I say about that? Been illegal since dirt.
