Re: Pot Smokers Are Stupid, McLellan Says, Nov. 3. Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan is a smoker. Imagine if illegal grow-ops had to supply her habit. Given that some heavy chain smokers indulge in up to 60 cigarettes a day, she may be consuming about two ounces of tobacco a day. Your typical pot smoker consumes this in a month or two. Again, assuming she is a chain smoker, her habit would require one pound of tobacco a week or about 50 pounds a year. This would require one average size home grow-op just to supply her habit of smelly carcinogenic weed. Who is looking stupid now? Chuck Beyer, Port Alberni, B.C. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
