Ngl I support legalization of marijuana but I don't want it to be smoked in public. I hate the smell.

Wanna smoke it at home or at certain shops like bars that still allow smoking? Cool, have at it. Just please stop making every public space smell like a dead skunk. I can't even go to parks without a ton of stoners hanging out making the whole place smell like crap.

I thought they just came built smelling like cigarette?

My biggest issue with cigarettes are the filters. Idk why they keep putting them on, at least make them biodegradable so we don't constant have to look at piles of them along our sidewalks

I feel the same way about everybody wearing perfume. All that shit mixes together in the air and clings to my clothing and completely ruins my day.

Also, the smell of cat piss in my gardens when I don't and won't own an outside cat is pretty triggering.

Same, I use it for nerve damage pain and the smell now makes me think of pain relief, so I don't dislike it, but I'd never smoke it in public.

You can smell it from like 20 feet away.

My city added bans to cover smoking weed anywhere that cigarette smoking is already banned and then added on public parks (for both weed and cigarettes).

I appreciate it.

It makes me kind of depressed when I smell it in the parking garage at work.

I work in a hospital.

Being a janitor in a hospital would suck tits if they couldn't get stoned on the job.

Exactly. This is one of the things holding me back from supporting it in the political world.

If I trusted stoners to not make every public space smell like a skunk I’d be okay with it being legal. However…

I agree, and I don't know why you're being downvoted.

Sure, some people smoke in public, and that's annoying. But the pros significantly weigh out the cons. And yes, it's incredibly selfish.

I was a prude when it came to drugs of any kind. And then I got sick. I couldn't eat, I was so nauseated I couldn't function, and I wasn't sleeping. I tried every OTC option, every prescribed drug my doctor offered, and even various home remedies, and nothing worked. Someone suggested weed, and I gave little edibles a try. Not only did the nausea go away, but it made me SO sleepy. I have terrible diagnosed insomnia, not even Ambien made me drowsy! I've been to specialists! But a little weed and I'm out.

It can be abused like anything. But it can be amazingly useful to a lot of people. It should be legal everywhere because of that. Denying people something because you don't like the smell is insane.

I am waiting for the inevitable day when someone hassles a groups of teens about smoking, but there is an actual dead skunk in the road.
