Congress was shocked to learn this week that millions of Americans have a serious drug in their refrigerators: lettuce.
The dangers of smoking lettuce were highlighted by Congressman Steve Buyer of Indiana as part of a debate into new anti-smoking legislation. Buyer informed the house that if you dry and smoke lettuce, you will end up with “similar problems than if you smoke tobacco.” Buyer argued “it’s not the nicotine that kills, it’s the smoke that kills!”
While millions of Americans prepare to purge their kitchens of their wacky vegetables, or a few try rolling a joint made of lettuce leaves, here’s the Steve Buyer dangers of lettuce video:

Uh, if it's just “the smoke” as the Congressman asserts, then it stands to reason that you can't get cancer from chewing tobacco, right?

Steve Buyer is the recipient of the largest amount of tobacco money of any Congressman in the history of Indiana. He is especially favored by Smokeless Tobacco PACs. He is nothing but a spokesperson for his corporate donors. He's the same guy who said we should use nuclear weapons in Afghanistan and who lied to Congress that he had been called to active duty in Iraq and then took a 3 week leave of absence at his home.
