What happened to the foorball discussions.
Anyway to let you know that marijuana was made illegal back in the day because it was found to have uses similar to plastic. At that time Dupont had a lot invested in plastic and didn't want marijuana to take their business so they lobbied for it to be illegal. On the harmful side, marijuan has many more side-effects than tobacco, ie one joint has as many cancer causing agents as one pack of regular cigarettes.
Lets get back to football.
