Is marijuana a fad that will fade?

I mean really this is so obvious what you’re doing greeting this thread. Stop.

I don’t see how it’s much worse for you than alcohol. It’s not a big deal.

People are drinking less. I think. Maybe in a decade or two they'll be smoking less.

There are many ways to consume that don't involve smoking

Technically that's true, but not really.
I myself have experimented a lot with edibles. The first few times you do it, it has an effect but after about 4 times, it basically stops working.
Why this is I have absolutely no idea, but I've heard many others say the same thing.

Until the 90s, cities often smelled like cigarette smoke when you walked around outside. Not every nook and cranny but many places. TBH, they probably smelled more like cigarettes in the 80s and 90s than before that, because of the shift from allowing people to smoke in office buildings and restaurants. In the 90s, smokers had to go outside for smoke breaks which made the streets smell more like cigarettes.

I know the main reasons for the decline in cigarette smoke were people becoming more critically aware of the health impacts, and also the government and other institutions making it harder to smoke (which led more people to give it up because it's an inconvenient habit). But marijuana is a different drug than nicotine. I don't think it's *good* for you but it doesn't appear to have the same cancerous impacts as nicotine, nor does it have quite the same addictive effect (I do think people become addicted to marijuana, but it's not as intense as the smoker who will go into withdrawal very quickly if they cannot smoke).

Do we think MJ use will decline at any point? I don't mind that it's legal except for the smell of the smoke everywhere. I don't care if people smoke in their own homes, but I hate the air pollution. Do we think this will change anytime?

My dream is to be able to walk around an urban area without the smell of smoke (any kind), garbage, urine, or car exhaust. I feel like this should be the primary goal of urban design.

Whatever.

Luckily, most people are not as dumb and selfish as you MAGAs.

I take a 10mg edible every night for a solid year now. Works like a charm. Sleep like a baby.

Worthy goals. Why not take a job cleaning the city to make sure it happens?

OP here. The difference is that when people drink alcohol, it doesn't create a smell that impacts everyone around you.

I personally don't care if people smoke weed, just as I don't care if people smoke cigarettes. I don't like smelling either one in public places.

It might be, It's really hard to say. I myself have partaken of it quite a lot myself and can definitely see that for many people it is quite detrimentally. Fortunately, I don't really like it enough for it to have become a problem

Most people don’t smoke weed. Edibles are far more common. And you have no idea who’s high on other things. give it a rest.

Hahahahahaha. New poster here… You should probably try it yourself for a research purposes.

I hope so as someone with a parent who is a paranoid schizophrenic and a tween aged son. I used to be in favor of deregulating pot but the new data on how it really increases risk of schizophrenia in young men has given me pause.
