[quote:Anonymous Coward 20248896:MV8yMTIxNzM1XzM1Nzk1NjYwXzFBMDNDQTdF] The politicians are lining up to get in on those tax-free profits from bootlegging. Maybe that will be the answer to the banking crisis. [/quote]
Original Message
Rep. Mitch Greenlick, from Portland, is sponsoring a bill that makes cigarettes a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it would be illegal to possess or distribute cigarettes without a doctor's prescription.
Under the proposal, offenders would face maximum punishments of one year in prison, a $6,250 fine or both.
Other drugs and substances that are considered Schedule III controlled substances are ketamine, lysergic acid and anabolic steroids.
