The issue is for more reaching then you want to delve into. All you care about is yourself and other dope smokers. As long as you get yours, you don't care about others.
It was serious over-reaching on your part.
Do people drink in all of these places?

How about we make alcohol illegal.
How'd that work?
I don't smoke pot and haven't in 30 years.
I don't care what others do. Why do you?

Want big government deeply entrenched in your life?
I sure don't.

It's not a strawman.

I'm allergic to petrochemicals and aldehydes.
It affects my neuro-muscular system; it is dangerous for me to be around many fragrance products.
People have sprayed my cubicle with perfumes to watch me fall down.
I was assaulted with it.

Does another person smoking pot affect you that way?

So what? Many of the studies suggest marijuana should not start being used at an early age. Most people who support legalizing marijuana would want it banned from young people under 21 buying any. It would probably work out better than now, considering how so many kids say they can get a hold of a joint easier than something legal--alcohol.

Yet, it still leaves you looking silly in defending a government program that has so miserably failed, the prohibition of marijuana. My God, do you not realize a survey has found that high school kids these days are more likely to smoke joints than cigarettes? By the way, if you still can't locate studies showing the rate of schizophrenia has been accelerating upward in this country, why be alarmed about marijuana and mental illness?

Meanwhile, why is your concern lacking over studies that have found that 40 to 80% of the people who have schizophrenia smoke cigarettes?

How many would really want that nasty smell, wafting throughout their homes? Legalize it, and there is NOTHING which can be done. Then what?
I rented a room in a house where there was plenty of both. The cigarette smoke was kept in the garden. I didn't mind the other which filtered in. Cigarette smoke makes it hard for me to breath. It wasn't the smoking that bothered me but the one person who also drowned her sorrows in booze. If all she'd done was smoke she'd have mellowed out and slept. Booze, she stomped around and screamed at everyone until she passed out.

I'd much rather live next to someone who smoked marajuana than tabacco or a heavy drinker with a temper.

Of all the things to worry about, have a pot smoking section at D'land is probably the last. It's not all or nothing, it never is!
I'd assume it would apply just the same as tabacco. You don't smoke inside or where *smoking* is prohibited of any kind. So unless the tabacco puffers can stand by the door you don't need to walk by them.

I'd assume it wouldn't be allowed anywhere too public at all. Like alcohol consumption.

The only people that would consider harmless are the drug addicts and idiots that are high 24/7.

Yes, for YOU. However, understand, people call local police departments everyday about the nasty smell of marijuana being burned. Everyday people are concerned about their children.

Marijuana is a mind altering/mood altering drug. People can fight and argue, all they want. If it didn't alter your mood, it wouldn't be a drug and no one would be complaining. People smoke marijuana to get "high." To get out of reality and to "think different." We could go on for miles.

Now, in a public place, when marijuana is legal; and it shall become legal. Its only a matter of time. What do you do with the men/women who openly smoke, its their right now, in front of children? Make THAT a crime? To what end? A felony or misdemeanor for child endangerment? To what end and how does the police prove it? Most likely, especially where I live/work, the PARENTS would be the ones smoking.

Has ANY liberal dope smoker thought these ideas through? Given it two cents and come up with a solution? Or is it they just want to keep care of themselves and no one else?

I see NO ONE addressing these issues and wanting to solve them. NO ONE.
