In my opinion I don’t think that’s the right solution. I think cannabis is closer to coffee.

    So then we should probably talk about car exhaust fumes, I inhale that every time I go outside unsolicited. What about people who are sick? They should probably be banned from public spaces too. And restaurants who cook with grease, you inhale that when you walk past them too.

    A smoker smoking a J in a designated smoking area is literally not causing any more harm than any other person smoking in that area. Designated smoking areas exist for a reason. People smoke in society, its simply how it is. People are exposed to harmful substances in the form of gas and fumes every single day of their lives from a million different sources. Singling out people smoking weed is stupid and largely driven by misinformation.

      Your strawmaning me and I don’t think we’ll come to any agreements at this point so I’ll agree to disagree and end the conversion here unfortunately.

      We literally just had two years of a pandemic where for a long time people were having to prove they weren’t sick to access public spaces. We don’t do it with every illness because it wouldn’t be practical to test so much and most illnesses aren’t that big a deal to people, but we do it when we have to.

        My point was that people are already exposed to plenty of things in public that are definitely harmful and also that are ‘unsolicited’. But yes, you are correct.
