Really?

Why is smoking tobacco banned in buildings do you think?
Health concerns?

No not really,I am wondering how proponents see it fitting in once legalised.

There are other ways of consuming pot. It can added into baked goods, as well as you can vaporize it.

Second and Third hand smokes negative effects are highly overstated.

Most of the effects of second hand smoke come from constant daily exposure. Living with a smoker that smokes in the same room as you, working in a bar, etc.

But, since you apparently don't know, you can eat cannabis. I do that, using butter to draw out the THC and cannabinoids.

You don't have to smoke pot, if thats your concern. Most folks probably wouldn't if it were legalized.

Pilots,train drivers(Engineers??),I would think bus drivers....mostly people in charge of other people's lives.

Agreed,as long as the only one you have an effect on is youself,do whatever you like.

No,never went there,went to other areas where it wasn't a big concern,Spain was pretty lax.

I actually had contacts(not friends but knew them) with a few drug smugglers in Gibraltar when I lived there,crazy place back then....

Haven't read the whole thread, but I'd say if there is a link between schizophrenia and marijuana smoking it's because the schizophrenic is using pot to self-medicate. Sorry if this has been said 100 times on here already.

What about them? If you mean they're tested regularly, yes they are - as they should be. If I had a job like that, I'd quit smoking marijuana the minute I was hired. My job, on the other hand, isn't affected by after-work use... I'm a librarian, so the worst I could do is mis-catalog a reference book.

Back in the 80's, I had a cousin seriously ill and hospitalized for end of life treatment. During his hospitalization, I started dating one of his nurses who visited me one day at my work place. She had brought me a pan of brownies. I think she tried to dissuade me when I said I would take them inside to share with co-workers.

Turns out, the brownies were loaded. I think she had intended I take them to my cousin in the hospital.
