Eh, even though I'm 100% down with full legalization I'm ok with this, cigarettes and such are banned in places where it bothers others and especially around kids and this isn't different.

I’m on the fence. On one hand, I completely agree with you…. On the other hand, this past summer ii was in NYC, and the law there is weed is allowed anywhere cigarettes are allowed… it felt amazing to smoke a joint in Central Park.

Personally I'm more or less fine with if cigarettes are allowed so is weed. Not that it matters what my opinion is

If you’re a registered voter, than your opinion matters.

But yeah, smoking bans should apply to smoking of anything: cigars, cigarettes, weed, crack, meth, brisket. If it’s no smoking, then it’s no smoking, plain and simple.

Didn’t know that tbh. We weren’t the only ones smoking, so I just assumed it was fine.

If people start leaving roaches everywhere like people do with cigarette butts, that would be annoying AF. That said, I’m pretty confident that’s not going to be an issue.

Roaches and weed are both typically natural and biodegrade as such. They're nothing like cigarette filters.

Just takes one rainfall for a roach to disappear. The cigarette butts take thousands of years to degrade.

Still in favor of less littering in general, but this isn’t really much of an issue.

I'm asthmatic and think there should be some kind of mechanism to protect everyone's use of a public space. In sufficiently large parks, having a designated area (e.g, maybe move a few picnic tables and designate them as a cannabis smoking area) would suffice to protect everyone's use of the space.

Exactly. He should be able to go to a park outside and not have to breathe in smoke.

I’m fully in favor of cannabis and also that there’s a time and a place.

I'm a massive stoner and I'm definitely cool with this. Weed is super stanky and I don't think it's cool to subject everyone in public to that, but especially at a park or whatever.

I’m just happy that I can legally grow a couple plants and keep 4 oz in my house!

I know I'll never see it, but I wish it was illegal to smoke in your car in public. I hate being behind a car with a smoker at a stop light in the summer.

I think smoking anything should be banned in parks and such. You are making me participate because it's smoke, it goes everywhere. Edibles? Brownies? Fine, enjoy. Have a literal weed picnic. But get the smoke out of my face.

Spot on after we ban people smoking in their own cars let's ban people from smoking in their homes too

It’s already illegal to smoke and drive. As it should be.
