I'm going to be putting a listing on the market in Somerville soon and so I've been driving through Cambridge/Somerville a lot more lately. This thread always comes to mind because I do smell a lot of pot as I'm driving around. I personally don't really care what people are doing, but I thought the new pot laws didn't allow for public consumption. So, I found the amount of smoke/aroma surprising.

It is illegal, but few bother to enforce it. I should note, this behavior started post-decriminalization - a non-escalating $300 fine apparently isn't a good deterrent.
It's not misunderstood at all. Why are some so defensive? There are plenty of us who enjoy clean air. Plenty of us who have smoked it and enjoyed it--just want to have the freedom to breathe it when we want to and not be breathing it as we walk along the street. It's not addicting at all--I smoked it for years when I wanted to and I never got addicted. Alcohol is MUCH worse.
And, no, I am not going to stay home --that's kind of a rude comment, like "If you don't like our government, you can go live in another country." This isn't a very productive thread--see ya.

The law doesn't allow for public consumption, but the penalty is a misdemeanor fine. Police generally use common sense and really aren't going to bother to enforce the law unless it is a blatant violation. Again, as someone who lives in Cambridge and walks around the city daily I smell marijuana outside of my home maybe a few times a week, the same as before the new laws went into effect.
Soon you'll associate the smell with multiple cash offers above asking price.

So you're telling me at the open house for my new listing instead of baking cookies in the oven that I should burn a pile of weed in the living room to attract buyers?

You're kidding, but if you offered pot at certain open houses, I'll bet you'd get more visitors.
Bloomberg just did an article today about how "pot weddings" are a new craze in states that have legalization - the example used was CO.
Maybe "pot open houses" are just around the corner.
There are also " pot dinners " where people go and consume a dinner made of all THC products.
I would prob not like to be around a bunch of people i don't know while consuming edibles.
I barely like being around the people I know on those things.
