Does Rolling Cigs Cause Marijuana Suppport?

[Nappy]

So I'm a nicotine addict and smoke half a pack a day.

Recently, to show my support of medical marijuana/marijuana in general, I started rolling my own cigarettes by hand and putting them in a prescription bottle.

I started doing this in the courtyard at DCCC.

So far i haven't gotten any dirty looks, only smiles from people who think I'm smoking a joint and questioning faces from those who are trying to figure out if its weed or tobacco.

I've had a few people come over asking if i was smoking weed and ended up "sparking up" a conversation with them about marijuana, it's medical uses, and current legislation.

However I was approached by a police officer while i was rolling one out it my car. Once he was aware that it was tobacco she stated "good because I didn't wana HAVE to arrest you for weed" then he asked for a cigarette =)
(thank god I don't smoke in public)

if it sparks conversation i say it's a winner, can only help. I am not against cigarette use, just don't use it myself. Keep on keeepin on.

Great idea actually. Another choice is to use something like wild lettuce or diamana, which are both available at local tobacco stores and most headshops. It's just like having a public joint or blunt rolling contest in a state where there's no medical or decrim law.

That was my though exactly. I was hoping to do something along those lines if DCCC allows the students to start a new chapter.

It gives you a good excuse to have papers, which cops use as probable cause for searching. Plus gives you practice for rolling the ones that count, and makes your roaches blend good in your ashtrays for desperate dissection later!

I've been doing this for years.  Pre-made cigarettes are expensive and easy to smoke quickly, so to reduce my bad habit I started stuffing/rolling my own.  Saves me tons of money, keeps my rolling skills up, gives me a cover in public for having papers and smoking joints in public, and helps me cut down on smoking the cancer sticks.  Unfortunately some people believe that association with cigarettes, which are in a reverse course of being legal, is a bad thing.  I personally have met alot of fellow smokers this way and I think it presents an oppurtunity to meet new people.
