Thank you for pointing this out. The supposed argument that weed smokers try to make -- "But, but, but alcoholllll is legal!" is such nonsense.

If my neighbor is drinking in his home, I can't see, hear or smell it. It has zero effect on me inside my home. But if my neighbor is toking, especially frequently, it absolutely affects me. Same would be true with tobacco, frankly, though weed seems worse than tobacco for permeating everything.

Also, this would likely punish people of color more than other races, and that would never fly in the DMV. Not #Equitable.

That will take a really long time. It took a long time to pass laws for cigarettes and it would be the same for weed.

Not going to happen any time soon.

Um, yeah; duh. Because they legalized it, idiot.

It’s still smoking! That’s not allowed

Smoking cigarettes is banned. Weed is less clear. The statutes are often written to be specific to lighted tabaco products. So, it's legal and fun and everyone gets to enjoy.

No. Sorry. That’s not true. You’re not allowed to smoke weed in the metro. There is no smoking allowed in the metro.

What if it's medicinal? Are you saying I can't take my medication? I have a medical card.

That is a completely different issue and you know it.

I can’t even enjoy my backyard late in the evening anymore. The smell was coming from the other side of the fence. Do foxes and deer smoke?

Reefer Madness!!!

No way. You can have a nightly drink or two in your condo and I won’t even know. But your nightly weed smoke gets into my condo daily.

The weed is definitely more annoying to neighbors.

No! They’ll move somewhere else and vote for the same nonsense because they want to prove how ‘progressive’ they are!

I was in NYC this weekend and the smell was everywhere. It was pretty gross.
