And I wonder how many people bought the box with/without the coupon that had no need for it (they had cable, satellite, or already had a digital box in their TV).

Or people like me, who don't own a TV. I was going to take a shotgun to it, but decide that was an environmental hazard so I gave it away.

Because it is more beneficial than cigarettes and we couldn't have that! Also currently there is not a viable commercial infrastructure to regulate and tax it. Since it's a plant that is grown by unlicensed/regulated people we couldn't allow it!
