I begged my parents to quit smoking for a decade, and they finally did when I was 12.

I am so sensitive and triggered to smoke even as a middle aged man, it just smells so awful to me, even the hint on a smokers clothes makes me gag.

Now we have pot, which apparently I can smell across state lines?? And through my cars hepa filter? Devils weed indeed.

It's insane to me the bandwagon that's developed around cannabis after the bandwagon around tobacco turned out to have been so devastating. "Surely we're smarter this time," everyone thinks.
