DC - pot smoking neighbors

[Anonymous]

I am black and wish that I had not voted to decriminalize Pot in DC. I smell it everywhere now. There was a cloud of pot smoke over the Hearst playground the other day coming from the basketball court where the players had wrapped up a game. Talk about selfish. They guys simply did not care that there were little kids playing and parents supervising. Their quick high was the most important thing to them. The problem with common sense laws is that they assume people have common sense and are not selfish. 2020 has proven the exact opposite.

Thank you. Exactly. Not a race thing.

I’d rather deal smell a little weed in the air in DC than see a lotta brothers ending up in jail and fall victim to the prison industrial complex over some petty shit.

Why the heck doesn’t OP just talk to them? She’s in the right! What is the fear??

Had I known that, I NEVER would have voted for legalization. Now, on the ballot is Initiative 81, for legalization of hallucinogenics. Thought they way the ballot is written, it seems like a positive thing. After witnessing a tripping man having sex with our retaining wall, and the ever present drugs of all kind in DC, we are voting against Initiative 81. I urge everyone to do the same.

As for your neighbors, you are legally able to enjoy your property. If the neighbors are doing something that prevents your from enjoying your property, then you can force them to stop. Sending a letter to landlord is a good first step. Talking to them is a good second step.

Problem is that most people are completely clueless about the laws in DC, as can be seen by some of the responses in this thread. People think that smoking in public is permitted but it is not. There needs to be a movement to push back again the drug users as their lobby and misinformation has gotten so strong that you can't say anything against pot before getting attacked.

This is not really the environment we want to raise our children. The Mayor and Council are eyeing the future tax revues of the legalization of drugs. The rest of us can just move out if we don't want to smell the stench all day and night.

As someone who recently started using mushrooms for therapy (amazingly effective btw. Made a change overnight to my depression and anxiety stemming from years of sexual abuse) I can almost guarantee that the guy who you think was tripping and having sex against your retaining wall was NOT on mushrooms. Mushrooms make a person introspective and mostly quiet in demeanor and behavior. Sex is not something most people even think about. I would bet good money he was on another drug.

You can try talking to neighbors, but if this discussion is any proof... say you don't like pot and smell and you get viciously attacked by trolls and the pot lobby. Impossible to have intelligent discussions anymore. People just fly off the handle and go to extremes. This is the age of trump.

Everybody claims that their drug of choice is harmless.

Yeah. Sure. You’re Black.

Are you not OK with that?

That’s right. It was a great decision. It’s a victimless crime and jail time is both costly
and stupid for something like this. I’m going to vote for the decriminalization of psychedelics in November as well. They do wonders for depression, as numerous peer reviewed medical studies indicate.

Take your DARE campaign to someone who cares. Your attitude is not prevalent with young voters. Intelligent folks look to Portugal and its history of decriminalization of drugs, it’s focus on medical treatment rather than jail for addiction, and all the other subsequent benefits as a result of this policy. You are a dinosaur whose opinion soon won’t matter.

Whoa! You mean using these substances can cause addiction? Is that harmless? If so, why do addicts need help? Who pays for that help?
