I’m tired of smelling your pot everywhere

Agree.

I don't have a problem with people smoking recreationally, but smoking daily or even weekly (or before work, or while driving) is NOT "recreationally." These people have addiction issues and are driving impaired.

I was against it even for recreational use because the poor and uneducated don’t know how to use an addictive drug recreationally.

I think the smell travels much, much further than cigarette smoke. And lingers much longer.

Fundamentally not true. You're just more used to smelling cigarette smoke.

I was at an ATM the other day, and a guy pulled up behind me. I could immediately smell his cigarette smoke.

I don't like either, but it's just trendy to harp on weed right now. Soon enough we will have more regulation around it.

Um, no. “Trendy?” As a PP said, we had finally gotten to a point in this country where (cigarette) smoking rates have declined & many public spaces are non-smoking. It was so nice! But now it smells like pot everywhere. I don’t think one type of smoke is worse than the other, but pot is what I smell everywhere I go now— not cigarette smoke.

I used to be in favor of legalizing all drugs. Seeing what’s happened with just pot becoming legal has made me see what a disaster that would be.

Interest. I've never smelled anyone's perfume or scented bath products while in my car driving on the highway or walking my dogs in the morning. The smell is everywhere, including private spaces like our own homes and cars.

Futile to try rationality on a drug addict.

You’re the idiot that can’t read the part about “car exhaust” which is obviously something that people are frequently exposed to while driving. So please explain the rationality of being ok with car exhaust but not cannabis smell. Please enlighten me.

Because most weed smokers don't have a catalytic converter strapped to their mouth.

I smell car exhaust literally ever single day and yet I have never seen a single DCUM rant about it. That’s how I know this is not a rational health concern for any of you people. That’s why I agreed to limit my cannabis smoke if you agree to not make me smell anything that other people create. Why is that not fair?

I live in NYC and cannot avoid the smell literally everywhere I walk. Nor can my DC. Why don’t you go eat a big festering pile of sh!t?

Please tell me where are people allowed to smoke pot but not cigarettes?

It's discusting. And I've lost hope in all of humanity. We wonder why the masses are dumber....

i go back into work from lunch and my co-workers probably think its me smoking. So, it is completely rude to do in public.

Smelling it a lot in my apartment. Apparently its low class here now they can't even bother to open a window. I can't understand how they think we all don't mind smelling this! Its so rude!

+1. When it wafts out of a car they should get a DUI. We wouldn’t be okay with kids coming to school drunk but they are coming to school high now, often using the excuse that it helps them with their anxiety etc etc. I also think we were okay banning public drinking- walking down the street with a beer can. Why do we have to put up with people walking down the street with a weed pen? I am a progressive and think legalization may have helped with police’s love of jailing people for tiny amounts but it created other problems.
