Why do people want to legalize this? The skunk smell is intolerable. I can not imagine people living in apartments have to breathe this day and night. This should be banned!

Agreed! While we are at it let’s ban body odor, cooking with curry and actual skunks 🦨. Kill ‘em all!

I lived in an apartment where they cooked fish next door almost every day. It was horrible. Bottom line, you can't really control others. You either have considerate neighbors or you don't.

Because it already is decriminalized and making it not legal is just losing money to maine and MA, its also really counter to the live and let live mindset or NE. Oh and its legal literally in all bordering states should kind of tell you something… If smell does concern you most apartments do prohibit smoking inside so you can always go that route

I hate being around alcohol, but you can’t get away from that

That is something that comes down to being considerate or not. Not whether it is legalized. Some people are just jerks and don't care how their actions affect the people around them.

Seriously, ban loud trucks, fireworks, and construction. Those are all louder and smellier.

The smell is one thing. It's been determined to be more dangerous than tobacco.
It looks like tobacco free kids has finally gotten traction. So now we'll decriminalize grass and legalize it, then... what? work hard to keep kids off grass?

Tobacco use via vape products is at an all time high among the youth.
Weed has negative side effects including carcinogenic properties, however very few habitual marijuana users inhale enough to come close to the carcinogenic properties of habitual cigarette smokers.
On top of this, traditional cigarette usage was reduced via education about peer reviewed studies by reputable sources, in a way that was digestible by a large age range.
At present, you cannot legally research the effects of marijuana, especially recreational/street marijuana, without going through specific government run entities that are by and large not trusted by the community as the marijuana has to be grown in government facilities that do not reflect the reality on the ground, so to speak.
In other words, it is counterintuitively better to allow recreational marijuana as it will allow regulation to provide certainty of what is being used and thus provide researchers a way to provide clearer, more trustworthy and transparent data on the effects of marijuana use.
In the meantime, vaping is a major issue with kids and practical steps like banning candy flavors of both tobacco and marijuana vapes would be a great first step.
