You make a lot of very strange assumptions about who I am and what I've done with my life.

And you'll note, I don't stop them, nor complain - I merely WISH they were a little more considerate in their partaking of the herb, I'd be less irritated.

Additionally, they don't have "every right" it's entirely illegal here, but I've no interest in calling the police over it - as again, I just wish they were naturally a little more considerate over their use of shared space than having a desire to punish them over it.

> it's entirely illegal here

A mafia figure pointing a gun in a man's face and demanding he act a certain way or else does not negate that man's natural right to partake of any plant he pleases, or enjoy any of his other natural rights as a free human.

This plant is illegal everywhere, and has been for a hundred years. All mafia who are in control of any and all territories everywhere oppose the plant. If it were up to these people and their allies, they would eliminate it entirely from the earth, driving it to extinction and murdering, imprisoning, or enslaving every last one of its users.

Yet in spite of the great risks and dangers, and all of the suffering and hardship and persecution that comes along with it, people have kept and guarded this sacred herb for tens of thousands of years, if not hundreds of thousands. What does that tell you?

It tells me you write prose in a manner becoming of an unhinged madman.

You assume I have not tried it, you assume I have not tried other substances. You assume a lot while pushing a narrative of your own.

If your mind is so open, why are you so closed and selfish towards other's view points?

Look, I'll spell it out for the obtuse:

This plant is of incalculable value for mankind. There are evildoers everywhere who want to destroy the plant entirely along with anyone associated with it. I mean put a fucking bullet in our heads and be done with us. Or make us work as slaves in their salt mines. Or just throw us in a hole and forget about us. That's the reality. We are fighting for our life every day and for the life of the plant itself. Yet all you can think to do is whine about the fucking smell. Like that's so important in the grand scheme of things. First World Problems I guess.

The plain fact is, it does not matter where we go to smoke. No matter where we might go, our enemies will come after us and attack us, regardless. Could be a hundred miles away in the middle of the jungle, and you assholes will come for us. If your type isn't throwing us in jail, or snitching us out, you're whining about the Fucking Smell. At a certain point it just becomes, "You know what? Fuck all of y'all, I'll do what I like from now on, wherever I like, and I no longer give a shit how it affects you, as you've made it clear you don't care what happens to ME."

Understand? Now go fuck yourself.

		And there it is. Sorry, you are just selfish. I've no desire to persecute anyone, yet once again you assume I do. All I ask is that my neighbours use a fan, it doesn't bother me enough to interfere with them, I just WISH they could be a little less selfish. They aren't, and in the grand scheme of things it's fine. You seem to intentionally misrepresent what I state and play the victim. Indeed cannabis is fully legal in many jurisdictions and it's becoming more and more common - I'm not convinced by your "life and death" narrative here in the slightest. No - I don't care much what happens to you, I don't know you from Adam. However, nor do I care how much or how little of your sacred herb you smoke. I merely ask that if you find yourself around others, have some consideration for them. Wishing someone would put a fan on while they smoke, out of good will is hardly a conspiracy scale persecution. If you can't grant others this courtesy, I'm still going to leave you alone. I may however post a vague post on the internet indicating displeasure for certain people's lack of manners and respect for others. While I do enjoy both sex and travel, this doesn't seem the appropriate forum to discuss it in.
