TOBACCO AND MARIJUANA

So, the Mexican drug cartels are growing marijuana in our national
forests but no tobacco that contains nicotine. Why? Tobacco is a
deadly and addictive substance.

If we were to criminalize tobacco that contains nicotine would it
disappear? No.

Would criminal gangs control and distribute it? Yes.
