Don’t tell me what to do.

I was merely pointing out that the topic is marijuana..
Pointing to other substances that one feels is worse doesn’t negate that there are real issues of concern related to long term recreational use of marijuana.
Otherwise, I don’t have a problem with someone smoking their brains out ..IF they are an “adult”
And IF other people do not have to pay for any consequences like respiratory issues and the like.

Which brings up my other issue..smoking massive amounts of any smoke can not be good for the repository system. Who pays for it? [emphasis added]

Who pays for tobacco smokers? Should we ban tobacco?

This thread isn’t about tobacco.

If you don't want to talk about tobacco, don't make anti-pot arguments that equally apply to tobacco.

I was merely pointing out that the topic is marijuana..

Actually, YOU broadened the topic to "any smoke" - see above.

Pointing to other substances that one feels is worse doesn’t negate that there are real issues of concern related to long term recreational use of marijuana.

Two straw men in one sentence: I never claimed that tobacco was "worse" and I didn't "negate" anything nor try to do so; I was merely pointing out that your issue applied to a currently legal substance and therefore had the same logical implications for its legality that it did for marijuana.

Otherwise, I don’t have a problem with someone smoking their brains out ..IF they are an “adult”
And IF other people do not have to pay for any consequences like respiratory issues and the like.

Under current government programs (and insurance policies) other people have to pay for respiratory consequences of tobacco use to the same extent they do for those of marijuana use - so the logical implications must be the same for the proper legal statuses of those substances. So should they both be legal but regulated - or both illegal?
