The law has not been respected or enforced as written, so IMO its invalid.[/quote]

Get real. Legal Cannabis is not a threat to law and order. Illegal black markets are. DC has an unregulated market because of anti-cannabis crusaders just like yourself. Andy Harris of MD blocked the effective implementation of DC cannabis law. Cannabis laws have not lead to more violent crime in CO which was the first state to legalize. You are just biased due to your own personal prejudices. Effective crime reduction results from fact based decisions and not your gut feelings about cannabis.[/quote]
How is legal cannabis any different than legal alcohol? Both can create public nuisances that lead people to avoid areas where public use is prevalent which leads to decline in business activity and increase in blight when then leads to decline in public order.[/quote]

You realize it was alcohol that brought people to h street in the first place, right?[/quote]

Someone drinking doesn’t bother me. The pot smokers affect the air that I breathe. Normal people don’t want to smell that sh&t. When you get in an elevator or walk around a retail store you stink up the place. PP was right that you can actually smell it in your car from other drivers. It’s low class and trashy. [/quote]

Okay but they're the ones who compared it to alcohol speaking of which lol I'm gonna go drink and enjoy my day happy holidays [/quote]
What a weird hill to die on. The public use of both legal and illegal drugs, including weed and alcohol and fentanyl and crack and whatever, can have obvious negative consequences on a community because these are nuisance behaviors that people try to avoid. If you want to keep weed legal and maintain a positive public image, you should be proposing crackdowns on rampant public use that negatively affects so many people.[/quote]

It’s inequitable to crack down on people smoking blunts on the street.[/quote]
