When I first read your question I honestly thought you were joking, especially because you posted right after DST.
Yes sir, I think this was the best thread on RIU to ask that question as we have the worlds greatest enjoyer of whiskey as our host.

When I used to do IT work for a living I had a Nuc Med Dr as a customer and I did all the networking and server shit in his office. He was building a home out in the hills and had me come out to do his network there. This dude had money out the ass. So I'm working on a PC and he's all hey would you like some scotch? I'm like well I'm working, but I'm the boss too so sure. He asked how I wanted it, and I said "in a glass?" He just chuckled and poured me like 4 oz? I was thinking he was kinda jewish on the dose, but whatever its cool. So I went ahead and finished the work I was doing whilst talking to him and when I finished I took the drink and pounded it in one throw. He laughed a bit and asked how it was, I said its good. (just taste like whiskey to me) and he's all that was about a $200 drink there LOL. I said oh shit, Im sorry I was probably supposed to drink it slower than that. He replied "hey you know what?", and pounded his the same way! Ah good times, I miss that guy. He paid really well too

Oh, yeah!
I had a decent acoustic 6-string 20+ years ago and loved playing it.
Then I splurged and got a pick-up for it and it opened a whole new world of sound for it.
Gave it to a friend before leaving Alaska.
Dang... I need to get another acoustic, another strat (copy, but I'd go the real thing this time around), and a drum kit...
... so many instruments, so little time...

Phillip Morris Introduces Marlboro Marijuana Cigarettes
Posted by Akoy CirauloPosted on Tuesday, January 21st, 2014
Phillip Morris, the worlds biggest cigarette producer, announced today that they will join the marijuana legalization bandwagon and start producing marijuana cigarettes. Marketed under the brand Marlboro M, the cigarettes will be made available for sale through marijuana-licensed outlets in the state of Colorado, and the state of Washington when it becomes commercially legal there later this year.
Serafin Norcik, Phillip Morris Sr. Vice President for Marketing said in an interview that the company has been high on the idea of marketing cannabis, and has been monitoring the market for some time. It was only when the recent legalization initiatives winning in Colorado and Washington that they finally made the decision to take a leap of faith.
Norcik added that they have begun contacting former drug lords in Mexico and Paraguay, currently the largest marijuana-producing countries in the world, for the possibility of setting up a distribution ring across the North and South American continents, to streamline the supply lines.
Since only tobacco products are currently banned in advertisements and promotions in the United States, Phillip Morris also has set aside a huge $15 billion advertising budget just to promote the new Marlboro M and are now negotiating with major networks and publishers, to start marketing the product to consumers in the beginning of 2015.
Norcik also revealed that a big initial push is planned around January next year, and have acquired most of the ad airtime for Superbowl XLIX. However, since marijuana will be legal only in Colorado and Washington during the 2015 Superbowl, all the ads will be blacked out in all other States and will only show a static M logo with smoke blowing in the background, for the duration of the ad.
Phillip Morris shares hit an all-time high on the marijuana news and shot up to $998.00 from $83.03 just a few hours after the announcement went public.

LOL, thanks for sharing that COF. I hope that if that day ever comes that they fail to sell even a single pack of those Marlboro M's. This is a huge reason that I do not advocate "legalization", but rather de-criminalization across the board for cannabis. The minute we "legalize" it is the moment we lose more rights than we ever gained IMO.something floating around that's good for a chuckle.....

Michigan had the start of a great movement going into the last election, but sadly failed to generate enough signatures to bring the petition to ballot. It was very disappointing, but it had little to no possibility to pass. It still would have been a great step forward in the statewide movement as it was to the point and didn't beat around any bushes.
A Petition to amend the Michigan Constitution, Article 1, to add:
Article 1 Section 28. Repeal of Marihuana Prohibition.
For persons who are at least 21 years of age who are not incarcerated, marihuana acquisition, cultivation, manufacture, sale, delivery, transfer, transportation, possession, ingestion, presence in or on the body, religious, medical, industrial, agricultural, commercial or personal use, or possession or use of paraphernalia shall not be prohibited, abridged or penalized in any manner, nor subject to civil forfeiture; provided that no person shall be permitted to operate an aircraft, motor vehicle, motorboat, ORV, snowmobile, train, or other heavy or dangerous equipment or machinery while impaired by marihuana.

Once those tobacco companies get thier hooks into this, the big money corporate corruption will certainly take over.
Do you think for an instant that the DEA will be chasing after the big money tobacco companies, in quite the same way that they have been raiding and forcing closed a ton of other grows and dispensaries around the country, in areas where its supposedly legal.
No No, From these big money corruption enablers, we hear statements right in the DEA's face like
"they have begun contacting former drug lords in Mexico and Paraguay, currently the largest marijuana-producing countries in the world, for the possibility of setting up a distribution ring across the North and South American continents, to streamline the supply lines."
Makes me sick to think of the possible future we may all face. Smoking stink brown ditchweed.
I for one wil personally NEVER EVER smoke a doob by Marlboro. No matter what. Lol.
Big money tobbacco will push government for exclusive production etc.
We all see the 'nice clean' products they have been providing to the public so far.
Its all just big money and government corruption .

Pot Stocks Offer No Contact High for Big Tobacco
BY Dan Freed| 01/23/14 - 12:24 PM EST
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The legal marijuana movement has lit a fire under lots of iffy companies with pot-related business prospects, but big tobacco stocks aren't joining the party.
Shares of companies with pretty much any marijuana-related business, or even stated plans to enter a marijuana-related business, have shown huge share price gains over the past few months in the euphoria leading up to and following pot legalization in Colorado and Washington.
Take Medbox (MDBX), for example. Shares have nearly quadrupled in the past month, despite a host of accounting and legal red flags and its inability to earn a profit for at least two straight years.
Then there's the case of a tiny company called Enertopia, (ENRT) which was supposedly in the renewable energy business. It has just two employees and no revenue at all for either 2012 or 2013. Its shares didn't move from the two cent mark for 14 straight days, and they only traded on two of those days.
On Nov. 4, however, Enertopia announced a letter of intent to acquire a 51% stake in a medical marijuana business, and shares jumped to 5 cents on volumes of more than 200,000 shares -- roughly equivalent to the previous six weeks of trading activity.
Since that announcement, Enertopia shares have had 15 trading days with volumes above the 200,000 mark, including on Jan. 9, when more than 1.2 million shares changed hands. The share price was at 16 cents late Thursday morning.
FINRA, a securities industry self-regulatory organization, lately issued a warning about marijuana-related companies. Its stated goal was "to warn investors not only about the potential for fraud in this arena, but also to reiterate the risks of investing in thinly traded companies about which little is known."
Given the iffy status of these marijuana-related companies, you'd think investors might look instead to well-oiled marketing machines like Philip Morris (PM_), Reynolds American (RAI_), and Altria (MO_). All of those companies have underperformed the S&P over the past 12 months, and given the dramatic declines in cigarette consumption, as well as signs the product has lately become vulnerable to pricing concerns, it's easy to see why.
There has been plenty of media speculation that big tobacco may enter the pot business, but so far Philip Morris, Reynolds American, and Altria have given no indication they will do so.
When asked by the Associated Press, a Philip Morris spokesman appeared to leave at least a partial window open, stating merely that it has "a practice of not commenting or speculating on future business." A Reynolds American spokesman said the company has "no plans to produce or market marijuana products" in Washington or Colorado," adding "it's not part of our strategy."
But strategies can change.
Marijuana doesn't appear to have come up in recent communications by the big three tobacco companies with their investors. A search of Securities and Exchange Commission filings for Philip Morris, Altria and Reynolds American over the past four years under the keyword "marijuana" produced no results.
I also searched the latest earnings call transcripts for Altria, Philip Morris and Reynolds, and, again, neither marijuana or pot showed up in a keyword search. I also emailed 12 analysts who cover Altria to raise the question. Only two responded, and both declined to comment, stating that they hadn't written about the subject and so didn't feel comfortable giving an interview.
OK, so we could be a long way from big tobacco selling pot. Still, at least there's a real business at the cigarette companies, run by people with a long track record of delivering value for shareholders. Even if the big tobacco companies never enter the pot business, the downside risk would appear to be somewhat contained. With companies like Medbox or Enertopia, on the other hand, your investment could disappear in a puff of smoke.
