What is a reasonable and properly implemented rehabilitation effort? Is it the one favored by progressives where drugs are given out with no condition of going into sobriety or rehab? Where junkies are sprawled out on public sidewalks covered in their own feces? Because that to me is the most inhumane thing ever. Glamorize drug use then do nothing meaningful to mandate sobriety.
I remember a time not too long ago when democrats supported smoke-free zones and keeping public spaces free of tobacco. Good, I agreed with that.
But apparently that doesn't apply to weed smoke. In light of weed legalization and proliferation where I live, I am now constantly exposed to the skunk stink second hand smoke of some pothead. The rights of us non-smokers to have clean air have been basically trashed overnight.
So the new democratic mantra is now weed is good and can do no harm. And it's creeping up to other drugs. "Harm reduction" is the new woke progressive buzzword. They claim it helps those addicted to hard drugs like heroin and fenty by giving addicts clean needles and unlimited drugs, supposedly modeled after some successful programs in Europe. Whereas the European system requires users of these "harm reduction" sites to wean themselves off, the American woke version does not and provides continuous drug to the addict. Surely anyone with a few brain cells realizes this will not discourage drug use, but proliferate it.
But hey, if 'quality candidates' like John Fetterman who make it their life goal to decriminalize and proliferate ALL drugs are elected, I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
The party of the drugs is now in power.
Pretty much, whatever social policies and government whims and mandates would be detrimental to the nation and it's citizens, that is what the Democratic Party leaders endorse.

Spot on and it's disgusting. Smoke free zones are enforced for everything but marijuana it seems.
I looked it up at marijuana smoke can travel up to 82 feet where as cigarette smoke only can make it 30.
Based on how much ganja I smell walking the streets of DC, etc., I believe it. And I see people blatantly lighting up in parks and cops doing nothing about it; I'd wager that they were told not to by the elected powers that be in these cities.

I'm pretty sure the police have bigger problems to attend to.

Presumably, "non-smoking" areas, like restaurants, bars, hospitals and most company properties are also non-smoking with respect to weed. So, you shouldn't be exposed to second-hand pot smoke any more than you are exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke. If you find that you are breathing in secondhand pot smoke, you should complain to the management of whatever establishment you are in. I can't stand the smell of either type of smoke, and won't patronize a business that allows it.

If they are in a park, surely it doesn't take much to confront someone breaking the law right before their eyes, to allow me and others to enjoy a healthier environment free from harmful chemicals. Or do our laws mean nothing?

DC has decriminalized less than 2 ounces of cannabis. If someone walks down the sidewalk or strolls through the park smoking a cigarette, do the cops bust them? I don't think so. So why should they harass someone who is smoking a joint in the same locations?
