I'd be all for that. Make it illegal to have CUBAN pot, but pot from anywhere else is okay. Yep, that works for me.

**Posted: 8/28/2008 4:39:46 PM EDT**

Don't they have laws that say it's legal to have them
but, it is not legal to buy, sell or transport them?

Reasonable compromise?

**Posted: 8/28/2008 4:43:29 PM EDT**

How much you selling it for? If you can undercut my guy , I'm in.

As far as I'm aware, you can't have them at all.

uh, we could take Cuban pot seeds, ship them to the Dominican Republic and grow it there, and then import the weed.

**Posted: 8/28/2008 4:45:42 PM EDT**

I heard that just writing the words 'Cuban Cigars' is illegal.

I don't believe that is correct, but I'm not an expert on said laws

Maybe something along the lines of imported pot should be illegal , but domestically produced pot should be decriminalized. That would keep the money from flowing into potentially anti-American nations and keep the revenues here. the Cuba analogy doesn't fit because it's not the tobacco that's illegal , it's an embargo - mandatory boycott of all things Cuban ; besides baseball players.....

I refer you here: cigars.about.com/od/cubantradeembargo/qt/0062002a.htm

and I quote:

Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States, except for pre-embargo cigars which are very rare and extremely expensive. If U.S. citizens attempt to buy, own or bring any Cuban cigars into the U.S., they may be subject to fines and other penalties, depending on the particular circumstances.

Granted, that's not the actual text of the law itself, but it's close enough. It tells me we can't own them.

Hmmmm..........that would cut the cartels revenue

(now, if we could get rid of their slave profiteering)

My uncle, a Canadian and professor of zoology at the University of West Indies - Trinidad and Tobago Campus, regularly flies into Havana. While in Havana, he will usually buy a few boxes of cigars to the tune of $.05/cigar.

When coming to the States to visit us, he'll fly from Havana to Toronto then drive down to Pittsburgh.

Those are some freakin' nice stogies!

As I recall, politicians,diplomats and reporters are allowed to own them.

But I cannot substantiate this on the internets.

That could very well be. I wondered how the people from Cigar Aficionado were able to test Cuban cigars for their ratings every year, since we're not at all allowed to buy them or possess them. Admittedly, this is one area of law that I am not that versed in. But I do know that we in the general public can't have them.

I've been having a hard time finding reliable verification, as well in the internetz.

it's strange how they smell wonderful when i'm smoking them but terrible when someone else is smoking them.

Cigarettes smell the same no matter who's smoking them.

anything imported from Cuba is illegal, not just cigars.

Are we going to do DNA tests on the pot to see if it's American like the Russians did to those dead black troops they found in Georgia?

Umm well IMO cannabis should be legalized regardless of where it's coming from.

Stateside grown cannabis is generally of a higher quality than foreign anyways.

I've only smoked one, but I like their "aroma"

(except the really cheap ones, they're horrible)

Think "incrementalism", like they use in their fight for complete gun-control

Why would you think that? Cuban cigars don't contain special ingredients.

No thanks, I tried pot from 1974 to 1981, I didn't like it.
