How to ruin the tobacco guys

I  do not smoke and rarely drink and can even be described as

    almost abstemious with regard to life's other intoxications. And

    with no criminal record - and no desire for other people's worldly

    goods, I might even  make the perfect bank president - if only I had

    more  faith in the wonders of free enterprise!

            Lately I've reflected on how to ruin both the tobacco and the

    liquor industry. Those omnipresent billboards advertising cigarettes

    suggest  a kind of euphoria for the smoker that in reality certain

    relatively harmless but still ILLEGAL drugs can truly deliver.

          What if kids were suddenly to see billboards everywhere suggesting

    the euphoria  really delivered by the best marijuana and the purest LSD ?

          Only hypocrites will express concern for the mental and physical

    risks of these " anti - Establishment " drugs.

        A certain percentage of kids will find perdition with these drugs

    just as they now do with tobacco and alcohol. The rest will simply

    have a better way to " enjoy " themselves.

         It is time to wage war on the tobacco and alcohol MONOPOLIES !

      Let's legalize the least harmful ILLEGAL DRUGS - or let's at least

    think about it.

            Perhaps one day Bill Clinton will appear on a seductive

    billboard puffing away on a marijuana cigarette, blowing the smoke

    into Newt Gingrich's face: " Inhale to the chief Newt !  "
