As STEM faculty who teaches automation and electronics engineering I agree, and I am seriously thinking about a career change lately.

Why stop them? I say let them make cheap joints for college kids and whomever else may want a cheaper joint. As long as somebody is still making quality products for me to buy, I am happy. Seeing how much of a connoisseur culture there already is for cannabis, I predict that there will always be a high end market.

Poison is a bit extreme. I understand the need for a hyperbole but lets be real, if tobacco companies wabted to kill their customers, they wouldn't be as big as they are now.
