Parents - if you partake in smoking weed, your kids will smell like weed.

Grow up.

You seem to be implying that children should consume cannabis rather than adults. That’s a very strange position to take.

The assumptions here are wild, weed smoking or edibles are not linked to economic class. The people in the 3m+ homes all get high and/or drunk as much as the people in the 900k duplexes.

Agree, it is more appropriate for adults. Personally, I'd raise the age limit to 25.

Haha, no, it's everywhere in DC.

Not really. Nobody ever gives specifics on DCUM so allow me to be the change:

I live in 20015 on a block of SFHs. The public ES is Murch. Kids on this block generally range from age 1 to age 12. The least expensive property is valued at ~ $1 million and the most expensive would go on the market for > $2m

I have never once smelled weed outdoors here, ever, nor have I seen any of my neighbors smoking on their porch. No children smell like weed. I’ve never seen an adult neighbor vaping anything outdoors while walking with a kid or otherwise. Fwiw, I’ve never seen my neighbors visibly drunk.

Could Ethan and Emily share a gummy at 11 pm before they bang? Sure. But I can assure everybody that there _are_ DC neighborhoods where weed stank doesn’t exist. We’re near Metro and Connecticut, not super urban but not “suburban” like the DC newcomers like to imagine

It’s a class thing. My block is white, black, asian and hispanic. And 100% highly educated professionals

I live in your neighborhood. If there isn’t a smell it’s because we have more resources to hide it, and the circle of trust runs deeper. As for never having seen your neighbors visibly drunk, you’re not in-the-know. Judge all you want, but then I hear people complain we only stick to our own at school functions. They infer it’s because we’re clubby or exclusive. They’re so wrong. They’re the ones who would judge and exclude if they knew. We’re just smart enough not to let it be known. The private school forum was filled with people upset about wealthy parents giving alcohol to minors. We’re no better than anyone else as a category, highly educated, professional and all

Tangent: it’s gross when a person who would call me low class if they saw me visibly drunk or smelled my weed wants my help with Timmy’s clerkship.

I live there too, and I smell it when I walk the dog. You walk the same path long enough, you learn which houses have someone smoking pot.

Really?

You see "plenty of people" smoking weed while walking or driving their kids? How do you know this? Are you in the car too?

(DP) You can smell when someone is smoking in a car near you. It is is awful to follow one for miles and your whole car reeks after that.

Are you not aware that you can turn your AC to the “recirculate” setting to prevent outside air from entering your vehicle?

It's not zero outside air. You'd die on a road trip if that were the case.

But PP is silly. Your car is fine shortly after the pothead is no longer in front of you. Is it pleasant? No. But don't be hyperbolic.

It might be hyperbolic if if were only one car.

I’m implying that one can excise idiotic life choices made by inexperienced teenagers and even very young adults, but eventually people should be mature enough to not make those choices.

Just like I don’t think college kids SHOULD get blackout drunk, but when they do? Eh, it happens, they’ll learn! But I don’t want to spend time with moms and dads with jobs and mortgages who still behave that way.

To each their own. But that CEO that never invites you over? Wanting to be able to do their own in their own free time without your judgment and even worse, gossip, may be the reason. No one brags about it. Hence it being under the radar. But don't think your "class" is any different than any other "class."
