Too bad Old man Bush isn't in that picture, that would push civilian dead numbers closer to 14 million.

Exactly… normal people go to jail for stealing an apple; they get nothing for killing millions

Unfortunately the USA is not signed up to the War Crimes International Court last I checked. Then again, last I checked, War Crimes International Court is partly funded by the USA through proxy... like most supposed 'fair and neutral' agencies, they exist to help the powerful get their way. Socrates tried to warn us a long long time ago... deaf ears then, deaf ears today.

Way cool, Manuel!

Well, looks like Obama got his wish, Ebola in the West. Germany had a case of Marberg Ebola, that wiped out even simian it touched, but only 24% of humans. DC had a case in a holding house for primates that killed of them. If I recall, no humans died of it. Survivors of Ebola, about 3%, I was told, are all tobacco chewers. I could see zinc killing the virus, but tobacco isn’t know to knock off others. Knock back a virus, yes. and people wonder why tobacco is so popular...

Thanks. I used to smoke, but I was able to stop. Should I start again? 😅

Definitely restart (but don't overdo it ;)). Besides ebola, during the black plague, tobacconists and smokers seemed to be immune - odd coincidence. There's a .pdf out there by William T Whitby on the reasons why smoking is good for you (longevity is one, look at UK's HM Queen and Queen Mother), and, the lies of medical establishment regarding tobacco (nicotine) such as 'black lung' a lie, and cancer etc. (I searched for "smoking is good for you" and it turned up that .pdf). (edit the editor doesn't like brackets...)

Dr. Doughless wrote of it, adding quite a bit of information about the lies against tobacco. One great-grandfather was a Healer/Herbalist, and was never without tobacco. No sacred person is, ever. If you do smoke, dump the bleached paper because it's toxic. Use natural hemp, which is supposed to have health benefits.

If you come down to the wire, then you find these lies are based on hitler. He claimed the smell of tobacco smoke made him nauseous. To us, American Indians, that's a major sign of a demoniac. And it turns out he was, because he channeled Lucifer. To nazis, tobacco is the red devil's weed and liberals will do nothing except they see hitler wanted it done.

Great comment! Hitler despised tobacco and historically, Hitler types despise it, yes! As you say sacred folk smoke. The best psychics and mystics I've known have smoked, and my wife, a psychic, also smokes. I've started growing it and it's surprisingly easy to grow. Has to be left the full season though because cut too soon the nicotine yield is low.

When the leaves begin to yellow, then they're picked and hung. It's a tough plant to raise because everything loves it. Indians planted their patches in town behind the stockade wall. I have a tobacco tree (glauca) in the yard. No nic a-tall in it. But, opposite that, wild tobacco (it's native) is coming up all over. Even if a smoker, one cigarette of that gets you stoned. Very strong tobacco. Tobacco is sacred not just as healer, but because it soothes the mind and opens it for spiritual matters. It works so well, that colleges forbid its use but people with the patches make quite a lot of cash selling them.

"Everything loves it" lol yep, oh dear, slugs went for them first. I collected seeds from the first attempt and must have dropped one or two because one plant came up through a crack in the paving. Weird nothing's eating this one... late in the season here probably - we sometimes get snow. (I'm growing a cooler weather hybrid).

Was tough getting information on the growing / picking process, and you pointing out that it's 'when the leaves begin to yellow' is helpful. A Chinese woman told me that her father would pick after the first frost, so that would be a similar latitude to mine. Just examined the pavement plant and it's dark green, but a lower leaf is yellowing slightly. I'll keep a closer watch.

Looking up "glauca," the pics show a similar flower to tobacco. Wild tobacco, yummy! No disrespect meant to the Gods involved but I do not know their names.

I had searched 'tobacco is good for you' because I was getting pissed off with all the 'cancer' shite. My father wouldn't suffer a smoker near him... and, he died of cancer. And those whom I've known getting cancer were of a similar mentality - repressive; dogmatic. That's my personal stats :)

Thanks for the tips and info!

Nope, not unless you catch fire. Seriously, all I've been told by doctors is not to inhale. You can find a book, Health Benefits of Tobacco online. https://www.amazon.com/Health-Benefits-Tobacco-Smokers-Paradox/dp/9962636434 The book also tells how we've been lied to.
