Those same arguments should apply to potheads. Our right to breathe unpolluted air supercedes your right to toke in public. Smoking weed and second hand weed smoke should be castigated and restricted as much as cigarette smoke and smoking.


Yeah, I wonder if we can pass ordinances like Boulder did? Second hand smoke in public spaces is super obnoxious and unhealthy.


Where do you people live? Sure, I smell some pot in public at times, and sure it's not pleasant, but you guys act like there's a cloud of smoke covering every street. That's just not what I see and smell. Heck, unless you're outside a bar I hardly ever see people smoking cigarettes anymore.



DC reeks like pot smoke EVERYWHERE. Were you even around in the 90s when people bitched about cigarett smoke while walking down the street? Pot smokers should be held to the same standard. 100% of people need air to live, you don't need pot to live. Everyone's right to breathe unpolluted air free from both cigarette smoke and pot smoke supercedes your right to toke in public just like how we have restrictions against cigarettes.


I feel really badly for people in apartment buildings where it comes through the vents. I would check my lease carefully for a non-smoking building, AND that that applies to pot. And being forced to breathe it on the streets is a total violation of everyone's rights.


Smoke-free buildings are a joke. Most of them reek of pot. I think we need legal pot smoking lounges where people can toke to their heart's content without bothering other people.


Oh God, +1000, unfortunately. Writing this from a "smoke free" (on paper) building that regular reeks of pot and other unpleasant smells.

There are so many worse things to see in DC. A man raping/attacking a woman in an alley, 2 bums stabbing each other, men jerking off on public transportation. And those are just a few of the things I witnessed in DC as a kid.


You're right. Murdering people is worse than raping people so we should legalize rape.


+1 !!!

I swear, I'll never cease to be amazed by the stupidity I observe on this website.

To the first PP, what about if we just don't allow ANY of those insane things and actually live in a nice society? Did that thought ever occur to you?


Good Lord I knew these would be the responses! Yes I know it's not an actual argument but I'm just making the point that it's not the huge bogeyman some are making it out to be. Also it does have positives. IDK but I read the info that came with the initiative and the woman had a compelling story/reason to de-criminalize. Americans have a huge appetite for drugs compared to the rest of the world, and it's not because they are legal!

We moved to a suburb without sidewalks (horrors) and now we don’t have all these guys in their 20s hanging out on the sidewalks on our block smoking pot at all hours or the day and night like they did in our DC rowhouse neighborhood. And this was before DC decriminalized so can only imagine what it’s like now.

Those guys who are on the sidewalk all day are the perfect neighbors to watch your house when you are at work or out of town. Assuming you get to know them
