| You’re probably right, though I dread the possibility. I cannot stand the smell, and one of the best things about moving from California to Texas was avoiding that pervasive smell being everywhere. Negative externalities of personal behavior really need to be handled better in our society. If you want pot to be legal, fine, but only inside your own personal enclosed house. |

| That's only one of many ways to consume it, many people vape, have edibles or drinks and you just don't notice. |

Personally I don't mind, almost the opposite, but for people who don't like the smell, obviously they feel differently. Good thing we can have different policies in different places, and people can generally, one way or another, move themselves to other places. Could be easier, but could also be way worse. | | |
| ▲ | dfdsjsdklfjs 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | As a daily weed smoker, I live out in the middle of the woods, but even that isn't enough to stop the Way Better Than Thou types from wanting me thrown in prison and/or excommunicated. There is no escaping these violent, self-righteous, arrogant busybodies. | | |
| ▲ | embedding-shape 18 minutes ago | parent [-] | | Meanwhile, I smoke weed in my office, but I have a air purifier (rated for double the air flow capacity of the room) and not even my wife who works in the room next door can smell anything, and she actively despises the smell. Sometimes you just need to find the right equipment :) |

| Some people say the same about the smell or noise of babies. It's not a very strong argument for getting ones way in controlling others. |

| > but only inside your own personal enclosed house. Isn't it usually illegal to smoke things like cigarettes inside rented homes, legality aside? And don't most people rent? That seems like a whole can to deal with. |

| THC is perfectly legal here (Quebec, Canada) and believe me, there is no smell on the streets! What is actually disgusting and happens often in the streets is the smell of ordinary cigarette smoke. |

| ▲ | lovich an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | It still negatively affects your ability to drive. You shouldn’t be taking anything that negatively affects reaction time or attention and drive. I’m pro legalization but definitely not pro reckless behavior like that |

| ▲ | z500 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | This might be controversial, but smelling either in public makes me happy! Now the stale smell of tobacco-infused clothing, that is awful. | |
| ▲ | declan_roberts 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's legal in many states here. In SF it's absolutely everywhere and disgusting. Austin smells like tobacco and it's much better to my nose. | | |
| ▲ | dfdsjsdklfjs 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | What you smell as "disgusting" smells amazing to me. Some of these perfumes that people drench themselves with smell disgusting to me. But I don't look for them to be thrown in prison or taxed for it. If you like the smell of tobacco (and I do also) then you'd better band together with weed smokers regardless of whether you like weed or not, before the Karens succeed in making it all illegal and banned along with anything else that helps one escape from the prison they are building. |

| Oh no, the thought of catching a whiff! No one must smoke in texas, since you know, everyone follows the law. Smoking weed only started in general with legalization. It was mythical beforehand. |

| I mean, there are plenty of neighborhoods in CA that don't have that smell... |
| |
| ▲ | 0x457 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | There just no smell like this in any neighborhood outside of college campuses and area close to those. You might get a whiff here and there, but you're going to encounter a lot of smells you don't like here and there. |
