If they go for legalization, then great, I will push for the restriction of smoking in communal areas and buildings, such as apartment complexes, and non-detached townhouses.
"Smokers in San Rafael are no longer allowed to light up in apartments, condominiums and any other residential units that share a common wall per a city ordinance that took effect Thursday.
The ban is part of a measure adopted by the City Council in October 2012 aimed at protecting people from secondhand smoke. The first phase of the ban took effect in November 2012, prohibiting smoking at parks, bus stops, restaurant patios and many other outdoor spaces.
Now it's up to landlords to enforce the housing part of the city's ordinance, which doesn't allow smokers in existing units to have grandfathered rights. All new and existing multi-family housing properties must be smoke-free."
If they include marijuana as smoking, then I don't mind legalization as long as the same rules as San Rafael apply here.

Never going to happen- if you don't like it do not live in such structures.
Cuomo stopped his legalization push when De Blaz put the brakes on Stop and Frisk, so it isn't going to happen soon.
the pols will be overrun by reality as state after state brings it to a vote. first come medical reasons and then recreational. It is just a matter of time. PS i don't use the stuff and am just speaking as a social observer.
They started smoking at 7:30PM today, whilst the quality and smell was better than before, it will more potent and affected my living room, and I can still smell it now in my office. I'm sick to the back teeth of this. They're going to start doing this on a daily basis.
From Friday night through Sunday the young couple and their "guests" down the hall from us were smoking "weed". The super was cleaning the halls when another tenant asked "do you smell that?, what are you going to do...?". To which the man replied what tenants did in their apartment was *not* his business and he was not in any position to tell them to stop. Super further suggested if anyone had problems to contact the management.
That pretty much sums up how things go in most buildings. Pot to many these days is something many young persons and it seems even some Boomers cannot do without. You can walk up and down streets of the UES and see and smell all manner and sorts of persons from young high school kids to middle aged men smoking pot.
If the pot smoke really bothers you that much send a formal complaint notice (via certified mail) to your landlord. Lay out your complaint and that you feel the second hand smoke is violating the warranty of habitability clause of your lease.

Probably more because of the transexuality than the smoking. We all know how discrimination works.
