See, that's silly. First, how do you know why someone smokes? I take a few puffs a few nights a week to help me fall asleep. Wow, what a loser. I went to work, doing honorable work, came home, made dinner, worked on a painting (I'm an artist, what do you do after work, stare at your tv?), had a few puffs and took a nice bath. Got some sleep. Today I'm going to clean my house and plant some plants. Paint some more , maybe go for a walk.

My point is, my life is totally boring and normal. It's not a loser life, it's a quiet one. I'm considerate, I don't smoke in public. I also drink very little alcohol. Lots of folks live like me. Reefer Madness was always silly.

The simple reality is a lot of pot smokers are stoners. They're losers. They've worsened their lives because of pot. Protesting that you're different only shows your selfishness. We have a national drug crisis and pot is a big part of that bundle. But the liberal middle classes would rather have unfettered access to their drugs than allow any restrictions even though that might be the best all around solution for more people. I don't care if you pat yourself on the back for otherwise being a decent person, you're still engaging in a substance that has substantial consequences for many people, including youths, and you need to accept the price of being part of that demand for increased tolerance and legalization of drugs - namely, others will suffer from it.

Obvious troll, folks...

Defending your pot addiction?

Shrugs. I can see the perspective. Pot is a drug and like all drugs, it's something that has substantial negative consequences for many of its users. Many pot users do seem to refuse to acknowledge that it can be problematic because they can't accept criticism of their habit. It's the same with alcoholics and smokers, who are often quite defensive of their addiction.

The hypocrisy here is literally boundless.

Liberal logic

I'm liberal and I am against smoking pot. I assume many others who post that the smell is disgusting are also liberals. Liberals don't vote in lock step. You are a turd PP and your attitude is ruining our country.

You assume others are liberal? Because you are ?
And you know this ? Liberal wizard in action. Just because you are and people you may know doesn’t make the whoouniverse
Based on you.

Uh, the poster was claiming liberals voted in pot use and are now complaining about it. I was pointing out that not all liberals support pot use, by using myself as an example. Yes, I assume others are like me.

Keep up, PP. It's not that difficult.

+1. I’m OP and I’m liberal. I’m not against all pot use, just when I’m, say, riding metro to (my 6-figure, since it seems to matter) job in the morning.

This is not hard, get with the program.

As long as you live in DC, you have to deal with it. Just because you are bragging about metroing to your six-figure job, doesn’t mean everyone else cares about that.

It bothering you that much? Buy a car. Problem solved.

Wreck the environment. Problem solved—by a climate-denying, stoned conservative.

Stoned conservative? Conservatives don't smoke pot. They think it's the devil's plant.

But I’m not OK with public drunkenness. Why should it be any different for pot?

I’m sure there are millions in AA of all races who agree with these reasonable barriers to intoxication.

Yes! I really don't remember pot smelling so strongly of skunk in my college days.

It really does. I’m wondering now if my parents ever smelled it on me. I was laughing so hard that my son thought it was a fart.

Your analogy with a prohibition on alcohol is highly flawed. We don’t let people drink in the streets and you can get arrested for public drunkenness. Why should we let them toke and be stoned on the streets. That’s all most people here are saying.
