Nothing is worse than living next door to chronic weed users whose smoke comes through the windows or through the walls and is exposing you or your family to psychoactive drugs unwillingly. It is pure torture living next to ahole, selfish potheads.

I love how it tortures you! I only wish I knew you personally so I could revel in your misery.

Are you really obtuse to believe that second pot smoke is only a 'smell' and to believe that it doesn't expose unwilling bystanders to psychotropic drugs? The smell of cheese doesn't contain mind altering substances, nor does it contain carcinogens. If you live in an apartment nextdoor to pot smoking losers, you may be forced to expose your children to a constant level of THC and other psychoactive ingredients that are known to cause developmental issues when developing brains are exposed to such molecules.

You wish you had the excuse of second hand MJ smoke for your limited brain development.

I’m in CA where weed has been legal for awhile. There is very little tolerance for smoking in communal spaces, at least in the SF Bay Area.

I know a lot of people who partake- they are all very successful middle age professionals. My BF uses occasionally because he doesn’t drink and likes get high on weekends here and there. He uses either a vape pen or edibles. MOST users do this. There’s no smell. It has zero impact on other people and most people get it delivered to their homes and use it there.

Not sure if you are aware but being high makes you happy to relax at home it’s not something that makes you want to go out driving around. 😂

Isn't amazing how angry the anti-MJ so called liberals are here? So angry all the time.

You must be going 5 mph on city streets to be smelling smoke in another person's care. Stop lying.

It will increase traffic and pedestrian deaths. Every state thats legalized recreational use has seen increased fatalities.
Most fatalities are among people of color.
Most are in equity emphasis areas.
The state leadership has not set out explicit approaches it will take THIS SESSION to mitigate the documented harms of legalization.

It has not been studied anywhere near as extensively as alcohol. A smart state would have done the prep work first. Not after it actually kills more people.

We are no longer smart.

Complete and utter bullshit. Not a sentence of this is true.

Pot makes you dumb. A little pot makes you a little dumb, and a lot of pot makes you really dumb.

It’s not in our interest as a society to be even further dumbed down.

Alcohol does the same thing, but it’s a heck of a lot more addictive.

Stop deflecting and stay on topic.

I bet you drink alcohol. Should we make that illegal, too? I'd rather be on the road with stoned drivers than drunk drivers.

Stupid argument. I can't get you second hand drunk. Your weed pollutes the lungs of anyone who doesn't want to be exposed to weed. Children in households with weed users have detectable amounts of THC in their blood. It's disgusting.

And yet cigarettes aren’t illegal. One could argue the smoke from cigarettes is worse.

Cigarette use is banned in public spaces.

We need the same crack down on weed.

Now what are you smoking?? It is not illegal to smoke a cigarette while walking down the sidewalk.

Cigarettes do not emit psychoactive substances to unwilling bystanders that alters their perception of reality and can cloud their judgement like weed does.

You need to expand your horizons. Here, take a hit.

We don’t need or want “a hit.” I know you can’t relate, but there are actual adults without arrested development who can handle their lives without getting high on your skunk weed.

If I had to live next door to a house of drug users but I got to pick the drug, it would be weed. No question.

Neat. The rest of us would pick none.

Pulling up to stop lights in the summer in DC is a 50/50 chance you smell weed.

Pure idiocy. Contact highs are fake.

Whoever issued your medical license owes you a refund.

Actually it’s the angry, defensive potheads who are throwing tantrums like two-year-olds.

Wait, what? Is there a certain race that smokes weed? What does that even mean?

I know plenty of people of various races that enjoy pot.

It's pretty common to partake across races. But one race gets arrested for it disproportionately. So criminalizing it means creating a greater negative impact on people of that race.

So, nobody is arresting explicitly for weed. There are drug arrests, but they are to get at the associated violent crime. Drug related homicides in Montgomery County at least, are exclusively over marijuana. That won't go away. The black market won't go away. And the associated violence won't go away.

And yes, there is more violence in lower income black and brown communities. So that's where police get called. That's why they have more contact with Black and brown people. That's why there are arrest disparities. Control for where the 911 calls come from, where the violence occurs, and the racial disparities substantially, if not completely, disappear.

Want to end racial disparities? Get rid of concentrated poverty.

This is the answer to so many of our woes, but how to go about it in a way both political parties can agree on [hint: unfortunately that will never happen]
