Ever heard of EVs? |
This board is overwhelmingly liberal. And this area votes overwhelmingly Democratic. The push to legalize weed has come from Democrats, not Republicans. The PP is likely correct. |
Republicans should not be proud of being pro-prohibition. Republicans have been overly trusting of police for decades and now we have police who do not enforce marijuana laws. Blame Republicans. As usual. |
It smells like "freedom" to trigger my asthma. Thanks, pothead. |
You’ve never smelled skunk spray before…. |
Go to any garage in DC. That funky smell there is not from the cars |
Yeah even though there are more Dem politicians in favor, there are certainly a lot of voters on both sides who favor legalizing weed. Most of my republican relatives do, although a number of them would probably identify more as libertarian. |
Actually, it’s regulated at both the federal and state level. The 21st Amendment re-legalized alcohol at the federal level, which allowed states and local governments to regulate it as they saw fit. Some counties (like Lynchburg, Tennessee), do not serve liquor by the drink. In Pennsylvania, you can only purchase beer by the case, in stores that only sell beer. Wine is sold with distilled spirits in a separate store. At the federal level, the BATF enforces federal alcohol tax laws. Cannabis is still listed as a Schedule I narcotic at the federal level,which is absurd, given the fact that it now has proven medicinal uses. All of the comments on this thread about the smell of cannabis everywhere in DC, and elsewhere are valid and useful. The Cannabis industry needs to get on board with the citizens to impose stricter regulations on public consumption, just like alcohol and tobacco. |
A lie |
Some of it smells a bit skunky, but not all weed smells exactly like a skunk, and it won't linger in your car until you get to your destination. Please stop exaggerating. You're just making yourself look whiny and dramatic and taking away from the REAL issue, which is how can we stop people from driving while high? |
Have not read all the replies My DC (teen) often complains about weed smoke often when we go out (such as Mall parking lot or walking around). I usually have a good sense of smell and can’t smell anything that bad or like weed used to smoke when I was young. Has the smell changed now that they vape it and mix it with other stuff to disguise the smell? |
| I live in Canada so I'm used to the smell. I have no problem with weed and enjoy it on occasion, but it seems like everyone is high all the time. People seem rather zombie-like and it can be very frustrating trying to get anything accomplished. Even with my best friend, I have to tell her the same things over and over again because she can't remember anything. |
| Hated it. Luckily it never happens where we live now (Annapolis area). |
Maryland democrats just supported, lobbied for, and their new D-governor said he is signing RECREATIONAL marijuana in MD. Lucky you! The Annapolis police’ hands will soon be tied to do anything about it. You voted for this, PP. You are a democrat, right? (like everyone in Annapolis, except a few USNA employees). |

We went down to see the Cherry Blossoms and had lunch.
Everywhere reeked of marijuana stench. |
