PartyTime -- Setting aside the specious notion that forcing people to roll their own would reduce the amount of tobacco consumed (ever hear of pipes, btw?), let's just focus on one silly aspect of your post: Since loads of folks die from smoking and no one dies from smoking marijuana, such a policy makes sense. You're stating that marijuana -- in its illegal, unregulated glory -- is medically safer to smoke than tobacco? Can you find any source (aside from the stoners at NORML) to back up such a patently false idea? NO ONE dies from smoking pot? You don't think pot causes lung cancer, huh? Can you explain what element of cannabis/THC somehow mystically and magically removes the carcinogens from the smoke? Put down the bong and exercise the precious few brain cells you may have remaining... Legalized, unregulated pot would pose the same type of public health risk as tobacco or alcohol (per-user capita)...
