I bet if pot was controlled and taxed and provide by corporations they would be against that too.

He said "smoking one joint is as bad for your lungs as smoking half a pack of cigarettes. A smoker inhales and exhales cigarette smoke, a toker inhales and holds for as long as possible. And he doesn't use a filter." So yes, for the pot-smokers to get upset about cigarette smoking... is more than a little insane!
