I'll be honest and say that I really don't know nearly enough about the global market, but why isn't tobacco imported if such was the case.
It seems that the same logic should be applied there. Marijuana can grow in North Carolina... where there are plenty of tobacco farms.
Regardless, I really couldn't care whether or not pot was legalized. I just think that it highlights some inconsistencies in our legal system, especially for medical marijuana. My father passed away from brain cancer a number of years ago and suffered incredibly throughout the chemotherapy, with almost crippling nausea.
Marijuana has been known to work wonders for many symptoms of terminally ill patients and offensive to me that something like this cannot be offered medically.
