Should I pack this in bear country?

*sigh*



And to think that when I was a kid, they could sell chocolate cigarettes, with the pic of a black kid, wearing a naughty smile, right there on the box



How many seconds do you think a candy maker would last if they tried to pull one of these today?

I'd walk into a shop years ago as a 10 year old and ask for a packet of Fags, and no-one would blink an eye.



They were imitation cigarettes made of sugar candy and a strawberry flavoured "glowing" red tip.

I used to run across the road to buy my father a pack or two of smokes as a 6 year old. The trade was I got a free soft drink or pack of lollies for my efforts. The milk bar was a bit funny at first but still did it until asking me to ask my father to stop by with a photo of me to vouch for the purchases, which he did. No worries after that.

I usually have a pack of Dentyne in my purse.

I keep a tin of Altoids in my Jeep lol. Im actually not much of a gum guy, was when I was a kid though.

[Blazor]

They were called...and this is true..."Fags".

I remember lol.



I even use to keep my pack rolled up on my tshirt sleeve

I've never seen candy cigarettes.

They actually had 2 kinds. One was gum, one was pretty much sugar lol.

Yes they still make them. Google candy cigarettes and you will find them.  

Cant believe they are still made in this overly sensitive PC world

Lol, that reminds me of a can I have. My favorite canned pork BBQ use to be James River brand. They went out of business. Anyway, they use to have a black waiter on the can. Someone complained, so they colored it in white/peach color, but forgot the hand lol. I kept one can as a conversation piece. It looks different than this one, this label was even older....

I also remember the old cigarette knob machines. My mom would have me ride my bike to the store sometimes to buy them. The machine was like a vending machine, packs were less than a dollar.

Brazil is ground zero for snowflakism, PC paranoia and victimism. If you call someone "black" during an argument, you go to jail.



Like I said, the liberal retardation here has gone full circle. Civil war and territory division are coming.



Situation in Brazil here can be surmised easily - half of people here want some sort of communist Africa, while the other half wants a decent country, based on economical models and laws like the ones in the US.

I had no idea. I feel your pain man.

When I was a teen, I remember trying cigs and thinking how pointless they were



I was older than most when I tried pot, almost 20.



Drugs were always demonized here and in my city, it felt like the USSR sometimes. One of Brazil's biggest steel centers is in my city.



The Japanese built it in the 50's and the reality here used to feel different from the rest of Brazil in the 80's and 90's, thanks to all the dollars they would bring.



But the city was heavily policed. There was a massacre of workers who were trying to take over the steel plant n 1963,  part of the communist insurrection that the military coup of 1964 stopped.



So with all the comfort and security compared to the rest of Brazil came a lot of repression. There were anti-drug lectures almost every week in my school.



I think you get the idea. In the 90's things changed and when California made it legal for medical purposes, I started seeing it differently



And when I tried, I knew I'd never be able to leave lady Mary LOL
