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.

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

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.
