WilshireUS drug control agency will move to reclassify marijuana in a historic shift, AP sources say
ManucodeMaybe the drug control agency should clarify that marijuana shouldn’t be consumed at beer festivals, to protect the children.
HopeOfTheGunbladeMaybe we shouldn't make laws about what adults can do because it wouldn't be good for children. Unless you think we shouldn't have beer festivals, to protect the children, and no food not pureed should be available for purchase, to protect the children.
AltoI say this as a pothead. If you're smoking in a public area where it's not specifically designated and there's people there that don't want you to, you're an ass.
Flying SquidHonestly, I would have absolutely no problem with cannabis being legal but you can’t use it in public. If I can buy it, take it home and use it without fear of arrest, that’s all I ask.
To an extent, smoking in public is fine. My regular smoke spot is in a park. But I also hike 20 minutes to it explicitly because its as far away from everyone else as possible, and the wind is usually going away from them.
Maybe I'm overcautious, but I remember walking down the street as a kid and just hating the smell of cigarettes. I never found weed as bad, but I don't want to br the asshole who's the reason some poor 8 year is holding their breath as you walk past them.
I was thinking public municipal streets and the like, not out in the middle of nowhere.
And honestly, I’d apply that to cigarettes too if we wouldn’t be forcing a bunch of addicted people to quit cold turkey because they can’t take smoke breaks at work.
Really the biggest thing is just having some common courtesy and being considerate of where and when you do it.
AA5BMy teenager still holds his breath as we walk by pit smokers …. Tobacco smokers are much rarer in public where we live
Just treat cannabis the same way we treat alcohol and I'll be happy. It'd be nice if we had cannabis bars where I can buy it and consume it in the location.
My biggest objection to smokers is the stink. Maybe it’s not as cancerous as tobacco, but why should I be stuck with a jacket that smells like pot after walking out the entrance to my building or walking through the park? Can’t smokers (of anything) just try to be courteous of non-smokers?
I have sympathy for them because they’re kind of fucked. They’re addicted, but they can’t smoke inside, and their job only gives them a few minutes to take a smoke break, so what else can they do? I hate the smell too, but forcing an addict to just stop smoking is not fair to them either.
