The case for Altria

What would happen if this 13.8 billion dollar industry became legal (referring to quote above and below)? I'd say Altria would have a good chance in getting in on the action. Granted drugs are devastating, but they are even more so when they are illegal. Altria is a high state. Because if someone isn't smoking, drinking, or eating junk food they may be doing something more damaging.

We all love hollywood and sports figures, but they are above the law and flaunt it. Unfortunately, what they are flaunting are activities that are illegal in a very dangerous industry.

When nuclear power becomes accepted, trust me, our state of mind will be different and things thought unthinkable will be accepted; like Walgreen and CVS selling a pack of smokes as well as a dime bag. Can you imagine Sara Lee apple pies with hemp?

From Bloomberg:
"Mexican cartels sell $13.8 billion a year worth of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and amphetamines to U.S. drug users, according to White House figures. Mexico is the corridor for about 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the U.S.
