Discussion: Legalizing Marijuana

[omid17]

at the same time it can be used for medicinal use, unlike tobacco and alcohol

 

[Thirdworld]

We already have the laws that deal with Cigs and Alcohol we can add. Twenty-one to smoke, open areas is fine, no selling to minors ETC.

Actually, though not used to treat anything in particular, some doctors recommend you drink some wine from time to time for the antioxidants and cardiovascular health. Technically even the hardest of liquors could be beneficial for your heart, though obviously you'd kill yourself first if you tried drinking a bottle of vodka everyday.

So really, tobacco is the only thing with no benefits of use.

I am all for legalizing marijuana....but I want the same laws in place as cigarettes.

I despise the smell of both, and I cannot stand the smell of marijuana.....so I don't want it anywhere near where I eat, drink, or spend time. If someone wants to do it in their own home, and have the smell there....that's fine.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Marijuana smoke is also potent. I would be against it being smoked in public.

Agreed. Keep it out of bars, and resturants. But if someone wants to smoke outside, so be it.

If you are outside in the open air, what's the problem?

I mean we breath in the fumes of cars and **** knows what else every day.

I had a funny thought:

Here in California, we're trying to make marijuana legal. If this works and we manage to make marijuana street legal, I can guarantee you we're going to turn against people who smoke pot the same way we turned against cigarette smokers. I can already imagine a group of people sitting outside of a restaurant or cafe, someone gets a whiff of marijuana, and everyone starts shouting at the dude smoking it. "Stop polluting our air, air polluter!"

Because here in California, we want you to have your cake, but you sure as hell won't be able to eat it. Mostly because of the empty carbs.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ehh smoking too much weed makes me unsociable. After I get past that phase of buzzing and being giggly I get too relaxed to even bother speaking.

Maybe it was just my experience but having friends in my teen years that smoked both heavily CIG smoke always drowned out the smoke of pot if both were done at same time.

I'd blow smoke in their faces.

He's not talking about "open air", he's talking about in bars, restaurants, etc.....

I love that my regular pub has gone no cigs, cigars, etc....where people are sitting. That includes outside. I love eating outside with friends, and having someone smoking next to me is disgusting. At most pubs around Houston, you have to go to your car if you want to smoke......that is fine with me. Smoke away from me, and I'm fine with it. Smoke in my face, and you get asked to leave. I have friends that smoke cigars, and I don't really mind the smell of those or pipes, but some people do.....and I can understand that....but cigarettes, and weed make me sick to my stomach, just nasty. A lot of people in my apartments smoke weed, and I walk by there decks while walking my dog and almost throw up. Just yuk....

That's the thing also, if owners of bars allow you to smoke near that's fine and if they want you off the property that's fine also. People are free to go to places more "smoke tolerate" or those with smoke nazis!

I love that my regular pub has gone no cigs, cigars, etc....where people are sitting. That includes outside. I love eating outside with friends, and having someone smoking next to me is disgusting. At most pubs around Houston, you have to go to your car if you want to smoke......that is fine with me. Smoke away from me, and I'm fine with it. Smoke in my face, and you get asked to leave. I have friends that smoke cigars, and I don't really mind the smell of those or pipes, but some people do.....and I can understand that....but cigarettes, and weed make me sick to my stomach, just nasty.

Ahh I see.

Even as a smoker I ****ing HATE when someone smokes near me whilst I'm eating.

But I'll be honest, if I'm outside in the beer garden having a smoke, and someone comes out, starts eating outside, and they tell me to go smoke somewhere else I ain't moving. But obviously I won't smoke over them or near them. But I don't see why I should vacate the property just because they wanna eat outside.

Beer gardens are there for people who smoke but still want to stay in the pub. Not just people who want to eat outside.

 

[Kelly]

That's the thing also, if owners of bars allow you to smoke near that's fine and if they want you off the property that's fine also. People are free to go to places more "smoke tolerate" or those with smoke nazis!

Only smoking bars around Houston have found that they have lost money banning smoking.....but even those haven't lost as much money as they thought. Sports bars etc, are doing just fine with the no smoking laws......

Breathing that **** is disgusting, and since there are numerous studies that show it is unhealthy to those breathing it, as well as those smoking.......I'm fine with those that don't mind killing themselves smoking, but its not their right to screw with my health while doing it.

 

[Paradoxium]

I hate it when someone ruins a nice patio evening with teh smokes.

I also hate it, when a great girl I develop incredible rapport with, and she pulls teh smokes.

 

[Superman]

I think the law should be more like the laws on alcohol.

Smoke and drive, Go to jail.

I smoke weed alot but I NEVER drive after smoking. I get done what I need to do with the car first, Then after everything is done and I have nothing to do but watch TV, That's when I smoke.

That's fine and good I don't like breathing in CIG smoke either. However it is my choice to voluntarily go to privately owned places that allow it (outside now) or not.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yep. That's what I do. Have dinner, watch a bit of TV or a movie whilst bunnin a beenie. Then off to bed

 

[omid17]

smoke shops will make a gang of money if it's legalized think about all the pieces they would be selling everyday

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ehh i don't really use any paraphernalia anymore. Used to do bongs and stuff like that, but I just smoke em with good old fashioned king skins now
