Serious business: Congress warned that smoking lettuce is bad for your health

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:
