[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people obviously love screwing others who they perceive to be lesser than human “potheads” and we can see that hate right here on full display. They are irrational people with a personal grudge. I can see echoes of a lingering racial animus that was exploited over the years to demonize marijuana and its users. It’s ok though. This is the last gasp of prohibitionists. They have lost and we are now free to live our lives without threat of imprisonment. This makes them very bitter lol!![/quote]

Pot legalization does not mean you can be a jerk. I'm pro legalization but anti smoking constantly in shared spaces or in a way that become a nuisance. Smoking tobacco is also legal (and should be) but that doesn't mean it's cool to do it in a way that makes it hard to impossible for other people to comfortably live their lives.

Everyone has an obligation to consider the impact of their actions on other people.[/quote]

As you can see from some of the vitriolic posts above, this is about more than people facing a legitimate nuisance. There are some people who just hate “potheads” and want to complain about those who they think are inferior. The post above sees this as some proxy for “leftists” vs conservatives for example.[/quote]

Many of the potheads I know are completely consumed with smoking pot. They spend every waking hour of every single day high. Who on earth wants to live near [b]that[/b]?[/quote]

Because the antecedent of “that” in this sentence is an actual human being, this makes you sound pretty heartless and like you think you’re a superior being, which you most definitely are not. You sound like the kind of person who would shake their cane at their neighbor if they had a different guy over every weekend.  So what if somebody is high all the time? If it doesn’t harm you there is no reason to clutch your pearls at the thought of living next to them.

And I’m sure a lot of the people you know smoke pot without you knowing about it. You’d never know my husband smokes once a week. [/quote]

As the judge ruled, people who live next to potheads have rights too.

Also, pot makes you boring. Sorry.[/quote]

This addresses literally nothing in my comment but okay. [/quote]
