Sorry if the name of the poster escapes me but the above info has been posted here prev. The texts have never materialised. BTW-- King James was a crusader against tobacco as well-- no one gets everything wrong.

So the allegation that tobacco was considered a 'medical marvel' is most incorrect. :smoke-pot:

Well King James’ opinion on the matter was rather fringe during his lifetime and a few hundred years after. Tobacco was considered soothing for the body -especially the throat and larynx- by many and merely a pleasant pastime by many more.

By the way (I’m afraid to ask), what else “commendable” did king James do?

Tobacco ' soothing for the throat & Larynx'? That may be the dumbest statement I have ever read.

Quit using the smear tactics that are used by the other Jansenist heretics on this site-- I never said K James did Anything else commenable.

You said "King James was a crusader against tobacco as well". Given that you clearly agree with King James on this matter, and included the words "as well" I concluded that he done other things you agree with. Tell me is understanding English grammar a Jansenist heresy as well?

The 'as well' comment was an allusion to Urban VIII and Innocent X-- not to anything else KJ did.

Roscoe,

Do you not use tobacco to dilute the cannabis?

I had the odd puff of a joint - what we call cannabis cigarettes in Ireland - about six or seven years ago and tobacco was added.
