Virginia Beach is degraded by the amount of people smoking pot everywhere. We can’t even enjoy a walk and the clean ocean hreeze.
We need Spanberger to intervene and make VA Beach clean again. Yes we can.

Lucas is pushing hard for legalization since she owns a couple head shops in Newport News. You can expect legalization next year in a compromise deal to build a casino in Tysons.

Does it mean smoking pot will be legalized in VA Beach making those people happy while we’ll lost our right to breathe clean air?

^we’ll lose

Spanberger is very pro-marijuana.

She and many other people can smoke it, as long as they do it in private (her house), not in public places. Key point is: not forcing other people (from babies to elderly) to be second hand smokers. That’s why she should pass a bill to ban smoking pot in public places.

The problem is that law is unenforceable. By the time police arrive, the smoker is gone but the smoke cloud hangs in the air.

Politicians who care about people can pass the law. “No smoking cigarettes and marihuana in public places. By Virginia Law” signs can make a difference.

We have 55mph signs too. Ergo speeding is not a problem.

Banning public smoking may not eliminate it entirely, but it does cut down on it dramatically. Do you remember how public spaces smelled in the early 1990s when it was still legal to smoke cigarettes pretty much everywhere?

I'd fully support a law that legalizes marijuana, but treats it like cigarettes as far as WHERE you can smoke.

I mean, yeah! Defeat MAGA! Woo-boo! But now we have to beat down the craziness that comes with the yahoos we elected (like the casino), so they don’t destroy Tyson’s like Trump destroyed the East Wing.

Casino support seems very uncorrelated to party affiliation

Everyone should be against gambling.

Why? It's a source of revenue, and jobs are disappearing from Virginia like crazy. Obviously, nobody wants gambling addicts, any more than we want to have alcoholics, but no one is against having bars (apart from some religious fundamentalists).

It’s that the “revenue” is largely coming from the people who can least afford to provide it. Everyone hopes to lure the whales when they open a casino, but gambling is fundamentally a poor man’s pastime. I don’t know anyone in my UMC community that goes to MGM or Charlestown for fun. Even Vegas is passé.

We can use the revenue from the gambling taxes to fund programs to support the poor. Problem solved.

Yup. Lots of activities are targeted to those who least can afford it--smoking, alcohol etc. I don't see why casinos are different from other vices.

Because casinos draw the poor people making the poor choices into a concentrated area. Have you ever seen the slot floor at the MGM in Maryland?

Poor people making poor choices, next making desperate choices, all right in your neighborhood. Sure, great idea.

Totally agree on this. It is a health concern for the majority of people, from pregnant women, toddlers, young children to the elderly.
