Heh. I suppose some people would be offended by all the smoking that was
done in the 60s.

Wait, what?

Well, you see, back in the Dark Ages (the first several decades of the
20th century and several centuries before then), it was actually
"normal" for many people in all walks of life to smoke cigarettes, pipes
or even cigars on occasion. But gradually it became clearer and clearer
that smoking wasn't actually as good for you as some of the advertising
had been claiming so it was made harder and harder to smoke anywhere.
This accounts for why some younger people may not be quite sure what
smoking actually *is* or confuse it with consumption of marijuana or
other "nefarious combustibles".

Now, of course, we now know that tobacco is EVIL but lest people jump to
the conclusion that all *smokers* were also evil, we have to suppress
the act of smoking from all video depictions made after we became
enlightened about the pernicious effects of tobacco. However, sometimes
historical accuracy *demands* that smoking be depicted as it actually
occurred in those days. In those rare cases, it becomes essential to
provide trigger warnings so that no one thinks smoking is actually being
encouraged: the smoking is only there to make the program look realistic.

Therefore, if the movie shows Teddy Kennedy or Mary Jo Kopechne smoking,
people should NOT deduce that they are evil simply because they smoked.

However, everyone should feel free to consider Teddy evil if he actually
evaded responsibility for the incident that killed Kopechne as so many
people believe.

Robert Melamede explainedthat although tobacco smoke and marijuana smoke have some similar chemical properties, the two substances possess different pharmacological activities and are not equally carcinogenic. Specifically, he affirmed that marijuana smoke contains multiple cannabinoids – many of which possess anti-cancer activity – and therefore likely exerts “a protective effect against pro-carcinogens that require activation.”

Now go ahead and crawl on your belly back into the woodwork.

That would be great. I've had issues with having my windows open and
downstairs neighbors deciding to smoke both marijuana and cigarettes.
Neither one provides me with a pleasant scent.

Though one thing about edibles is you won't be easily able to see when
someone is consuming marijuana as I used to see every morning. This
guy would get in his car and light up his joint before driving off to
work.

Bah. Sure it is. You never had a friend who wouldn't/couldn't go out
to eat before he smoked a joint? They're as twitchy as any other

I do know that there are people who think it's stupid and pointless to
