The fact is he is getting HIGH. It doesn’t bother you that one by one the states are making it perfectly legal to light up a noxious weed that makes one spacey and dopey? What once was the coming of age past-time for rebellious teens holed up in a friend’s basement with Zeppelin on the boom box giddily laughing about how much they have the munchies will now become a totally out in the public widespread activity that our kids, and those of us who HATE the aroma, will be exposed to.
It boggles my mind that they want to outlaw cigarettes and yet are legalizing marijuana. There was a time it was frowned upon. I guess there was a time a lot of things were frowned upon that are currently just fine and dandy.
Listen, if they want to allow and regulate it medically I don’t have a problem with that, there are prescribed substances that do just as bad side effects or worse...but this is a smoked mind-altering, to some hallucinogenic DRUG. It must be regulated. I’ve given up hope for this country.
"The right to swing your arms in any direction ends where my nose begins." Thus, if my dopey neighbor smokes a joint and then accidentally runs his lawnmower all over my petunias, I'll press charges. But until then, it's none of my business.

Oh, no - It totally "bothers" me! It also "bothers" me that my neighbor lounges around on his back porch wearing a "wife-beater" and picking his teeth with a knife. Yeah, that's the ticket - let's legislate everything that "bothers" us!

So you want to incarcerate people - in some states, simple possession (without even the intent to sell) can land you in prison for literally years - just because you find the aroma annoying? Are you kidding?
