Cool topic for a thread...

How about some interesting tid bits to add to the mix.

Opium is added to the paper which is a neurotransmitter and increases mental alertness, sharpness, and psychic openness.

Though taxing on the body to neutralize the toxins all the time, but think of it this way the body raises its threshold of tolerance of foreign invaders so it has an elevated 'on guard' (maybe an increased white blood cell count) attention in order to constantly rid the body of the toxins (though over time the toxins may win out if the person really lets there guard down). Compared to those who may not have as much toxins to get rid of- the body may get lazy or not be on as high of an alert to foreign invaders hence non-smokers may get sick easier because they don’t have elevated thresholds of immune response.

Of course of those that quit smoking the biggest complaint is that they can't think or focus anymore... so could they if they just added neurotransmitter supplements until the brain began to produce them again normally, IF the right kind of neurotransmitters are available?

Shamans use psychotropic’s from the Rain Forest and the are able to communicate with the other dimensions and actually get the answers to their questions through this method virtually anytime they want. It is the neurotransmitters that help them see differently but on a much higher potency level as that of opium or nicotine effects. Hence, why our history is full of pretty much every culture having peace pipe ceremonies’ involving smoking some form of tobacco or plant leaf (of course not corporately tainted)!

Besides, every single plant on this planet is made out of sunlight converted into sugar proteins which have been converted thus by the chaotic process of photosynthesis- how do you think plants grow!

So smoking 'plants' is smoking the Sun... sugar. And ya, too much of a good thing is never enough but smoking toxic substance manufactured by corporations is probably not a good idea. Many of the natural cigarette company’s were bought up by the bigger corporate tobacco companies.

I have a big question... why is there such a powerful attraction, draw, addiction to smoking and the human body? Is it just simply a stupid bad habit or is there some other benefit from smoking that tobacco companies know about in order to attract/create smokers but they don't want anyone to know what that attraction is (I am not speaking of the addictive nature part of it) because they want you to have to buy cigs of course?
