Hi Baby Gurl,

As to which of the cocktail of chemical components are involved in the varied healing benefits of theraputic usage of tobacco*, I would think it a synergy dance between them all.

Iam a libertarian and feel that government has no role in legislating things provided in nature for our use. As anything, it has a potential for abuse and each individual has free will to make such choices and should not be deterred or coerced to do what they otherwise would or not choose as a matter of free agency. As long as not offending another bystander.

I think the real problems occur when all the FDA- approved additives are introduced into the matrix. Then we have something altogether different. Something truly dangerous to consume. Government has taken a once revered natural herb and morphed it into something nature never intended.

* organic, like American Spirit brand.
