I wonder about liability.

If a bar over serves you and you drive drunk and kill someone they can be liable.

If circle k sells you some dope and you smoke down the freeway and do similar are they liable?

So strange. All these seatbelt laws and car seat laws and vehicle safety requirements and then they start selling weed at gas stations. Straining at gnats, swallowing camels.

Circle K is not selling the dope.

No, the smoker is liable, as it’s illegal to use medical pot outside your personal residence. It’s legal to drink in a bar so they carry some liability if they overserve. You can’t smoke in a dispensary or in your car, that’s on you.

I wouldn’t think so. One consumes the alcohol at the bar.
Liquor stores don’t get sued for selling a 1.75 of Jack to a future DUI.

False assumption. Compare the store selling weed vs selling alcohol. If fact, since they would be selling more than enough servings of alcohol (i.e. a case of bee or fifth of booze) to cause anyone to exceed the legal limit virtually every sale would put the store at risk under your theory.

As I see it, the big difference , and it is huge, is that you consume the alcohol at the bar. Smoking the dope is forbidden at the dispensary, so what happens is on your own time.

In a bar you consume before leaving the bar. This would be more like buying a six-pack and drinking on the road after leaving the place of business.
