I don't mind if people smoke weed in their own apartment/house but it pisses me off when those potheads try to smoke weed in a public place. Is there any way I can avoid this in SF or San Mateo? Appreciate the help.

Where did you get the idea that it would be a problem in SF and San Mateo? I can only think of a couple of neighborhoods in SF where that might be a problem.

What about non-potheads who occasionally partake in public places?

Funny that your moving choices so far are Denver or Seattle, where marijuana is legal, or San Francisco???

The problem is, pot is legal in SF, if by default. You see, it has been "de-prioritized" by SFPD, meaning they *officially* won't hassle anyone for less than an ounce. The cops are told to look the other way. So, if you want to live here, you accept this as part of it.

It's really not that big of a deal. I smell a bit of weed out in the street from time to time. So what? It's not like the lingering smoke is causing heart disease, or those people lighting one-hitters in the FiDi are trying to sell to me or rob me to support their habits. They're just doing their thing. That's SF living. If you can't get over this, you might want to brace yourself-- SF gets much more challenging than this.

Surely you have more important things to be concerned about.
