Yes, true. But why? Brief history: It wasn't illegal in the US for many years. Simply, it is illegal because tobacco interests offed it to get rid of competition oh-so-many years ago . .

Sure . . . but what else is harmful? Hell, if you eat too many bananas, you can get hyperkalemic (too much potasium), which is definitely life-threatening. One key - cigarettes are far worse in terms of long-term health detriments.

Well . . . this may have validity, but realistically the fact that certain members of the greek community do one thing or another doesn't make us all in that vein, and with proper actions by the rest of us we avoid being stereotyped. There are greeks who really love golden showers, but that doesn't filter up to the 'stereotype' level. This sort of thing doesn't have to either, and if it does reinforce a negative stereotype for a particular person, I don't want that sort of man in my chapter. I would rather have one who thinks for himself, and sees past the drudgery and bullshit of stereotyping.
And i don't even smoke weed.
