So getting FREE housing means they are NOT a priority? What planet are you from?

What matters is not evicting a poor family over marijuana.

Life is full of choices. If they can afford marijuana, shouldn't they be spending more on housing?

One would think. The extent of liberal generosity knows no bounds however.

Alternatively they will be grappling with a growing population of perpetually stoned people being a nuisance and the long term health problems associated with heavy pot use. Between marijuana and opioids we will probably see an escalation of the homeless and begging population.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire....

I'm seeing a lot of litter on the streets in the District. Wouldn't it be good to put the homeless to work cleaning the streets? Train them and pay them of course, but they should do something useful.

Absolutely they should.

We should make the homeless supervise the rich while they pick up the trash since the rich know how to spew it.

Some folks were smoking marijuana outside our building last week. We asked them not to and they refused. So with the super's help we turned the hose on them. It's hard to smoke a soggy joint.

Yeah, right.

I oppose legalization. In fact, I would support flogging of those who smoke pot in public or in multifamily housing. And jail anyone driving under the influence of pot, just like with alcohol.

You live in a fantasy world.

So you dont think poor parents are able to exercise self control?

I really don't give a shit. It's more important to keep a roof over their heads. Go jackboot someone else's life.

Oh yes, the classic conservative microscoping of poor peoples' finances.

I think when you are subsidizing it, conditions are 100% fine. Does your boss throw fistfuls of money at you with zero requirements? How nice 4 you. Or maybe you have people on your payroll who can come/go as they please? You're amazing!

No to pot that non-smokers need to interact with at all. No to laborers smoking at bus stops after work and no to those two frat boys whose parents bought them an apartment in our building who keep stinking the place up. No to dangerous driving by stoned idiots. No to general loss of productivity and good judgment as members of our society decide to stop struggling against the world's increasing scariness in favor of just "mellowing out."

I also want renters to be able to consume in in their own homes regardless of whether they own, rent, or reside in public housing. If a business wants to open a smoking club, they should be able to.

So you would like the little babies in public housing (where cigarette smoking indoors is illegal) to breathe in pot smoke through the air vents and halls into their little pink lungs? You're a gem!

+100

Any person who doesn’t care about the babies and their little pink lungs must be some Trumpian who is trying to get rich investing in marihuana stocks

No to making any god damn sense apparently, either.

Article today about teen use of edibles skyrocketing in states where marijuana was legalized. This is my greatest concern - how to educate ones teen that rampant use is not harmless to their growing bodies.

No, I think it was a mistake. The city reeks of pot and kids are inhaling it as second hand smoke all over town.
